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!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: 'HOLD ON, I'M COMING' HAS BECOME THE CLOSING THEME SONG FOR EVERY TRUMP SPEECH. HERE IT IS IN ITS ORIGINAL VERSION, PLUS A GREAT INSTRUMENTAL VERSION ALSO. ENJOY IT! https://sendvid.com/z7fm8g41

OUR DAILY OLDIES: RITCHIE VALENS WAS BORN "RICARDO VALENZUELA" FROM A MEXICAN AMERICAN FAMILY. VERY YOUNG, RICARDO WAS A PROMISING ROCK AND ROLL STAR BUT "RICARDO VALENZUELA" DIDN'T SOUND VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR A ROCK AND ROLL PERFORMER SO HIS MANAGER PROPOSED TO CHANGE 'RICARDO' FOR RITCHIE AND CUT 'VALENZUELA' FOR VALENS. VISITING A MEXICAN TOWN, SOUTH OF THE BORDER, RITCHIE SAW A 'MARIACHI' (MEXICAN FOLK MUSICIANS) PLAYING 'LA BAMBA'. LA BAMBA WAS A TRADITIONAL MEXICAN FOLK SONG AND RITCHIE CAME BACK WANTING TO RECORD LA BAMBA. HIS MANAGER TOLD HIM: "ARE YOU CRAZY? A MEXICAN FOLK SONG IN A ROCK AND ROLL RECORD AND YOU DON'T EVEN SPEAK SPANISH?". RITCHIE INSISTED BY SAYING: "IF NAT KING COLE CAN SING IN SPANISH, SO CAN I". BY THAT TIME, NAT KING COLE HAD A LP ALBUM WITH LATIN AMERICA LOVE SONGS SINGING IN SPANISH. LA BAMBA WAS RECORDED AS A SIDE B (THROW AWAY) IN A SINGLE 45" ALONG WITH 'DONNA', DONNA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HIT. THAT RECORD CHANGED THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL AND LA BAMBA BECAME VERY POPULAR. SADLY, RITCHIE DIED VERY YOUNG IN A PLANE CRASH IN 1959. A FEW YEARS LATER, LA BAMBA CAME BACK BY TRINI LOPEZ, IN A LIVE PERFORMANCE RECORDING. ENJOY BOTH RIGHT HERE!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: OUR OLD SONG TODAY IS 'BEND ME, SHAPE ME' BY A GROUP CALLED 'AMERICAN BREED' WITH THE ADDED BONUS OF THE VERSION FROM SPAIN BY LOS ANGELES. ENJOY IT!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: THE SONG TODAY IS 'SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE' IN 3 VERSIONS: ORIGINAL BY CREAM, THE SOUL VERSION BY THE FIFTH DIMENSION AND A MORE RECENT VERSION, I THINK FROM THE 80s OR 90s BY DAVID SANBORN. ENJOY IT!
