OUR DAILY OLDIES: WHEN I STARTED THIS SECTION, I PROMISED OLDIES AND RARITIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. IN THE 1960s WE HAD A BRITISH INVASION IN AMERICA. MANY OF THE TOP 40 MOST POPULAR SONGS IN RADIO WERE BY BRITISH GROUPS AND PERFORMERS, THE BEATLES BEING IN THE FIRST PLACES. ALONG WITH THE BRITISH, A FEW, NOT MANY GROUPS, FROM OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES HAD AT LEAST ONE HIT SONG IN AMERICAN RADIO, LIKE 'LOS BRAVOS' FROM SPAIN WITH 'BLACK IS BLACK' OR 'SHOCKING BLUE' FROM THE NEDERLANDS WITH 'VENUS', BUT BEYOND THAT, WE DIDN'T KNOW MUCH FROM THE MUSICAL WORLD IN THE REST OF THE WORLD, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF LANGUAGE DIFFERENCES UNTIL 1967 WITH THE SUCCESS OF MIRIAM MAKEBA FROM SOUTH AFRICA WHO OPENED THE WAY FOR MORE AFRICAN PERFORMERS. IN EUROPE IT WASN'T A BRITISH INVASION BUT THEY CALLED "THE PRODIGIOUS DECADE" WHEN THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIMES WAS PRODUCED IN MULTIPLE COUNTRIES. THERE WERE VERY GOOD EUROPEAN GROUPS THAT NEVER MADE IT TO AMERICAN RADIO, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF LANGUAGE DIFFERENCES. ONE OF THOSE GROUPS THAT MADE GREAT ROCK AND ROLL WAS 'LOS HURACANES' FROM SPAIN AND TODAY I'M GIVING YOU A SAMPLE OF THEIR MUSIC. ENJOY IT!
