THE 1960s WERE THE YEARS OF THE "BRITISH INVASION". THE BEATLES INVADED NOT ONLY THE U.S.A. BUT THE WHOLE WORLD, OPENING THE WAY FOR MANY OTHER GROUPS, NOT ONLY FROM BRITAIN BUT FROM OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, AUSTRALIA AND EVENTUALLY FROM EVERYWHERE IN THE PLANET. THE BEATLES INSPIRED MANY EUROPEAN GROUPS. THIS VIDEO SHOWS 'LOS BRINCOS' FROM SPAIN IN A FRENCH TV SHOW. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: OUR OLD SONG TODAY IS "THE LETTER", ORIGINAL BY THE BOX TOPS BUT SINCE I INCLUDE INTERNATIONAL OLDIES, THERE ARE ARE THE EUROPEAN VERSIONS OF THE SONG, ONE FROM SPAIN AND ONE FROM ITALY, ALL 3 IN THE SAME TRACK. ENJOY IT.

OUR DAILY OLDIES: WHEN I STARTED THIS SECTION TO SHARE OLD MUSIC, I PROMISED OLDIES AND RARITIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD, NOT ONLY OLD SONGS FROM AMERICAN RADIO. THE DECADES BETWEEN THE 1950s AND 1970s (MAYBE SOME 80s TOO) WERE PRODIGIOUS DECADES WHERE THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME WAS PRODUCED, NOT ONLY IN THE U.S.A. BUT AROUND THE WORLD. THERE WAS A GOLDEN AGE OF EUROPEAN POP MUSIC AND TODAY'S SONG IS FROM THOSE TIMES. TODAY WE GO BACK TO ITALY WITH A BEAUTIFUL SONG FROM "MINA".

OUR DAILY OLDIES: 'LIGHT MY FIRE' WAS A HIT BY THE DOORS BUT AFTER IT BECAME A HIT BY THE DOORS, JOSE FELICIANO DID A VERSION OF THE SONG WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MUSICAL READING AND IT BECAME A RADIO HIT, STILL PLAYING TODAY IN OLDIES STATIONS. I INSERTED A NON COMMERCIAL RECORDING OF A MUSICAL GROUP IN COLOMBIA (SOUTH AMERICA) THAT WERE REHEARSING THE SAME SONG IN SPANISH AND I FOUNDED TO BE AN INTERESTING VERSION. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: 'TILL THERE WAS YOU' IS A VERY OLD SONG, ORIGINALLY IT WAS A CUBAN BOLERO (LOVE SONG), PEGGY LEE RECORDED IT IN ENGLISH, YEARS LATER, THE BEATLES MADE A COVER VERSION AND AFTER THE BEATLES, A MEXICAN MUSICAL GROUP MADE ANOTHER VERSION IN SPANISH. HERE ARE THE 3 OF THEM IN THE SAME TRACK. ENJOY THEM!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: OUR OLD SONG TODAY IS A 'CHICANO OLDIE' ('CHICANO' MEANING AMERICAN OF MEXICAN ANCESTRY). MANY YEARS AGO,THE BORDER WAS NOT A CHAOTIC PLACE LIKE TODAY, MEXICANS FROM BORDER TOWNS CAME TO SHOP TO THE AMERICAN SIDE, PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA WENT TO TIJUANA FOR FUN, SOME TOWNS WERE HALF IN THE U.S.A. AND HALF IN MEXICO, LIKE LAREDO AND NUEVO LAREDO, CARS AND TAXIS HAD BORDER PLATES TO MOVE WITHIN CERTAIN DISTANCE IN BOTH COUNTRIES AND BORDER RADIO SPOKE AND PLAYED MUSIC IN BOTH LANGUAGES. THIS SONG IS AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE OLD TIMES.

OUR DAILY OLDIES: THE MUSIC AND IMAGES TODAY IS A GIFT FOR THE EARLIEST GENERATION OF BABY BOOMERS. TO ALL OF YOU OF MY GENERATION WHO ARE STILL AROUND, ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY WE REMEMBER SOME VERY NICE INSTRUMENTALS FROM OLD TIMES RADIO-ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY'S OLD SONG IS "SUNNY" IN 4 DIFFERENT VERSIONS: THE ORIGINAL BY BOBBY HEBB, THE MEXICAN VERSION BY LOS YAKI, A FUNKY VERSION FROM ITALY AND A DISCO VERSION BY BONNIE M FROM JAMAICA. ENJOY IT!
