This our Song Lyric Sunday prompt is the La, ( the musical note or word that denotes that la la la sound). I have chosen ShaLaLaLaLe by The Small Faces.
Thank you again Jim Adams our gallant host.
The Small Faces were an English rock band from London, founded in 1965. The group originally consisted of Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, and Jimmy Winston, with Ian McLagan replacing Winston as the band’s keyboardist in 1966. The band was one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s,[2][3] recording hit songs such as “Itchycoo Park“, “Lazy Sunday“, “All or Nothing“, and “Tin Soldier“, as well as their concept albumOgdens’ Nut Gone Flake. They later evolved into one of the UK’s most successful psychedelic bands until 1969. More information here
“Sha-La-La-La-Lee” was the third song by English R&B-influenced group Small Faces, released on 28 January 1966, reaching number three in the UK Singles Chart.[1] It was also the first single by the group to feature Ian McLagan on keyboards.
The Small faces were one of the group’s I saw regularly when I used to visit Top of the Pops at Limegrove Studios London, as a teenager.
Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you enjoy this 💜

Lol you have a good ear Di. I still cannot comment on your blog 💜
Jan 05, 2020 @ 17:26:36
Are the comments available to add Willow? I haven’t disabled anything.

Have just done a test message on my SLS post, and ‘post comment’ worked OK. This is odd. Are you using an app or ipad by any chance? Not that I;d know if it makes a difference, but you never know. I’ve only got my lap top so I’m not computer savvy, yet your replies to me on coming through OK.
Jan 05, 2020 @ 18:03:05
I am using my mobile, I can reply from any message that you send to me in my reader or comments but not if I go to you actual page via the web…it’s very strange 🤐🥴😁💜

Maybe that’s it then. I remember our friend MSM had some messaging problems with her mobile compared to laptop. My mobile has the facility for various gizmos, but I just use it for calls and texts, and now the occasional photo.

I shall check the laptop bout later 💜

As an afterthought, is it just my site?
Jan 05, 2020 @ 18:08:05
Yes it appears to be 💜
Jan 05, 2020 @ 18:09:13
oh dear. I don’t have any ideas to explain it I’m afraid. My site is a WP freebie, so nothing fancy.
Jan 05, 2020 @ 18:47:28
Don’t worry I shall get it sorted 💜

Willow that is so cool that you went to Top of the Pops, as all I ever did was read about it and watch some of their videos. Small Faces may have been the first super group as they were loaded with talent. I though about using this song today, but I went with something else, however I am glad it got included in song Lyric Sunday.

It was fun going to top of the Pops. I did meet loads of singers and groups and DJs it was an exciting time to be young 💜
Jan 05, 2020 @ 18:06:45
First time hearing it, but it strikes the right chord with me. So cool that you saw them live. Great rock and roll choice for the prompt.
Jan 05, 2020 @ 18:10:27
Glad you enjoyed this the Small Faces were one of my favourite groups 💜
Jan 05, 2020 @ 21:52:07
Definitely sixties style rock complete with Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Jan 05, 2020 @ 22:07:59
La La La La, they were the beautiful mods💜💜💜
Jan 05, 2020 @ 22:45:35
That is awesome that you were able to visit the Top of the Pops studio! I have been watching recordings of the show in the 80s recently. Love The Small Faces now, thanks for introducing them! Love their rock song!

It was a fun time for me in the sixties and seventies 💜. The Small Faces were a brilliant group 💜

Excellent choice, Willow.This song is new to me, and I really enjoyed it.

It’s such an old one too, they are always the best! The Small Faces were big over here not sure if they were known in America.💜
