WESTY One of my useless bits of information-Baby I'm For Real came out in August 1969 so when Dave makes 60 he knows Money came out 60 years ago and the Originals 50 years ago. I'm like you Westy,born before release dates and charts were used!. See you at the next Drax all being well. Steve aka Jack Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
