of ricky shayne: his peak in italy was “uno dei mods” (one of the mods), a song about the mod scene. obviously on the cover of the 45 he stands dressed like a rocker… check

in 1970 he came out with “ramadan”, following to the hippie fashion. he has tried to jump on every train to become a star…

oh, I can’t wait, Walter. Poppa Joe (and Jurgen Markus) will make an appearance in 1972 .

ARNEL, for this instalment, I was torn between which Chris Roberts song to post. Ich bin verliebt… won out by a whisker. Still, that HAIR!

It may come as a surprise to you, but ‘Un Rayo De Sol’ has a French original by …Sheila, without the sha-la-la’s, but the oh -oh-oh’s intact.

Even ‘Butterfly’ has a little prehistory, it used to be a flop called ‘Helas Trois Fois Helas’ ’till Danyel rewrote it 3 years later. I’ll sent you the goods.

My first 45 was ‘Poppa Joe’ by The Sweet, one could do worse I suppose :-)

Great reading (as always), I recognized all these songs except for Daliah and Ulli. Thanks.

Ooh, this brings back memories…

My favorites in that days were “Hab’ ich dir heute schon gesagt (dass ich dich liebe)” by Chris Roberts and “Ein Festival der Liebe” by Juergen Marcus.

(I can’t believe I wrote this. What a confession!)

What, Feliz Navidad never made the German Top10???
It’s another …. interesting (to qoute Alfred Biolek) … selection… Thanks for Mamy Blue, had been looking for it ever since you set me on the trip down memory lane :)
Che Sarà used to be one of my mum’s favourites (actually all things & songs Feliciano)… I seem to vaguely remember a (half) German version? Or am I so old that memory plays tricks on me?
Buuterfly, my Butterfly.. oh sweet youth :)
I could have lived without the reminder of DTH tho, never liked the man. I was more Disco with Ilja…„Licht aus – Womm! Spot an – Jaaaa!!!!!
Butterfly, butterfly… toll, jetzt hast du wieder was los getreten.. at least I’m not singing with Roy & Anita..
bring back Katja Ebstein :)
