OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY'S MELODY IS AN INSTRUMENTAL FROM THE 1960s BY THE RAMSEY LEWIS TRIO-I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG AND LISTENED TO MUSIC ON THE RADIO ALL THE TIME,THAT SOME MUSIC STATIONS, WHEN THE TIME WAS CLOSE TO THE COMMERCIAL BREAK OF THE HALF HOUR, THEY PLAYED THIS ONE AND OTHER NICE INSTRUMENTALS, BUT NEVER THE WHOLE MELODY, THEY PLAYED A FEW SECONDS AND THEN WENT TO COMMERCIALS AND IDENTIFYING THE STATION. I GOT MAD, BECAUSE I LIKED THE MUSIC, BUT THEY NEVER PLAYED THE WHOLE RECORD. LATER ON I STARTED COLLECTING RECORDS AND I GOT THE WHOLE LP ALBUM. MEMORIES ARE REALLY LIKE LIVING THOSE TIMES AGAIN. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY WE REMEMBER 1965 - THE KNICKERBOCKERS: LIES. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: WHEN I STARTED THIS SECTION, I PROMISED OLDIES AND RARITIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THIS IS REALLY A RARITY FROM ITALY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLASSIFY IT: IT IS NO FUNK, NO DISCO, NO SALSA BUT AN OLD RARE SONG FROM ITALY. IT FITS WITHIN THE CATEGORY OF OLDIES AND RARITIES. ENJOY IT, (IF YOU LIKE IT).

OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY OLD SONG IS 'I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW' BY TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLS, ADDING AS A BONUS THE SPANISH VERSION IN THE SAME TRACK. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: BY 1964, AMERICA WAS UNDER MUSICAL INVASION BY BRITAIN. HEADED BY THE BEATLES, MANY OF THE TOP 40 HITS IN AMERICAN RADIO WERE BY THE BEATLES AND OTHER BRITISH GROUPS. THE BRITISH INVASION OPENED THE WAY FOR OTHER EUROPEAN GROUPS LIKE 'LOS BRAVOS' FROM SPAIN (BLACK IS BLACK). BY 1967, ARTISTS FROM AFRICA WERE ENTERING THE AMERICAN MUSIC SCENE. MIRIAM MAKEBA (FROM SUDAFRICA) HAD A HIT ON AMERICAN RADIO WITH 'PATA PATA', THAT BECAME NUMBER 1 IN NEW YORK. LATER THAT YEAR SHE CAME TO AMERICA AND WAS ON AMERICAN TV. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: PLAYING MUSIC FROM MY ARCHIVES, I FOUND THIS OLD LIVE RECORDING FROM A NEW JERSEY RADIO STATION AND I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING TO SHARE, SO I DID.

OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY'S SONG IS "BE MY BABY" BY THE RONETTES BUT AS USUALLY, AMERICAN SONGS HAD VERSIONS IN OTHER LANGUAGES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. ONE EUROPEAN VERSION OF THIS SONG IS BY LES SURF FROM FRANCE AND EVEN MORE INTERESTING IS THEY ARE SINGING IN SPANISH. IT IS COMMON IN EUROPE THAT PEOPLE ARE FLUENT IN MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE. MELANIA TRUMP,ORIGINALLY FROM SLOVENIA, CAN SPEAKS IN 5 LANGUAGES.

OUR DAILY OLDIES: BACK TO THE 50s WITH JERRY LEE LEWIS AND "HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL". AS A BONUS, I'M INCLUDING THE MEXICAN VERSION BY THE 'TEEN TOPS'. ENJOY IT!
