Rose Of Romance - Tara's Theme From "Gone With The Wind" It's not "Waltz Of" either! OMD is The Waltz Joan Of Arc - no "of". This was a retitled album track. It was called Joan Of Arc but to avoid confusion with the previous single of the same name was renamed Maid Of Orleans (The Waltz Joan Of Arc) - meaning it was the Waltz version, nothing to do with Joan waltzing!CZB wrote:
[ It wasn't "Maid of New Orleans" ]
That might well be what they did on other radio stations or on weekday chart features - but on the Sunday evening chart show on Radio One, Tommy Vance did not play any of it at all in either of the two weeks during which it was in the top forty.Blondini wrote:6 NEW Rhoda with The Special AKA - The Boiler
One of the most unusual top 40 hits to this day. A spoken account of a woman's rape experience. They used to cut it off before the upsetting part on the top 40 countdown.
Pity. There's a good three minutes before you get anything remotely adult.CZB wrote:That might well be what they did on other radio stations or on weekday chart features - but on the Sunday evening chart show on Radio One, Tommy Vance did not play any of it at all in either of the two weeks during which it was in the top forty.Blondini wrote:6 NEW Rhoda with The Special AKA - The Boiler
