Ken Griffin on the Hammond organ
You may remember we had a radiogramme in the male common room, at the Medical Faculty Colombo in the early 1960s. There was an LP record by Ken Griffin on the Hammond organ. This record gave us hours of pleasure. Here are a few pieces popular among us then.

Under the bridges of Paris
Under the bridges of Paris with you - Sous les ponts de Paris
One of the top hits of the early 1960s. Hear the silken voice of Eartha Kitt and another version of the song by Dean Martin.
