The Shangri-Las: Remember (Walking in the Sand)

Track of the Week - 5 September 2021

Something a bit different this week as I went to Lambourn, 'the Valley of the Racehorse', on a visit to the stables of six-time British champion trainer Nicky Henderson.

I have a share in a couple of horses with him (one 3000th of each horse, I'm not a millionaire!) and they were among those paraded. The horses also did some conditioning work (it's still early in the season and they're not race fit yet) on a deep sand gallop.

So I reckon that's enough of a tenuous link for me to use the amazing Remember (Walking in the Sand) by The Shangri-Las. It was the girl group's third single and was a UK number 14 in 1964. It was followed the same year by two more fantastic singles, Give Him a Great Big Kiss and Leader of the Pack which also made the top 20.

Covered many times since but never improved.
