It would be interesting to know if there were some hidden gems to be found outside the US/Anglo sphere during the 60's and 70s?

That actually sounded as if they came from the Motown/Stax etc factories, i.e. not a Japanese belting it out in Japanese...but rather a toon that surprised you, i.e. "what-the-f*ck-he's-JAPANESE??!? Aussies, Kiwis etc. In short, oddities.

Ever came across one of those tracks?

I think I have a clip among many of the files that need transfering from my other Mac (I'm so lazy...)

If no one else throws one up I'll see what I can do later tonight.

Hows about Los Canarios "Get On Your Knees" was spanish.

Also, what's the story with Rocky Roberts on Duramine-oops Durium. An Italian release as a TV theme, but was it US or Italian in origin?

Chris,

I'll try, its my first time

The Rocky roberts is the B side to "Stasera Mi Buito" theme to the tv show "Sabato Sera" spelling is probably wrong as I haven't looked at the record for a while. Both tracks are old "Northern" Favourites.

Don't know about hidden, but worth a mention from the Ozzy camp:

Doug Parkinson - I'll Be Around

Marcia Hines - You Gotta Let Go

Japanese not really noted for their singing prowess, however they can knock up a tune and so flourish in the jazz / dance arena...

Hiroshima have been going since the 70's, nice jazz fusion...

Old Skool Soul? Not from UK/US. I'd have thought someone would have mentioned Doris by now. Swedish white girl out of the early 70's. Did a killer album called 'Did You Give The World Some Love Today?' Awesome record. Includes 'Beatmaker' and 'Don't' which became massive on the Mod scene. Also, the CD has unreleased stuff, one of which is a version of 'Mama Didn't Lie' which puts Jan Bradley to shame.

Holy crap! My country-woman, and I haven't heard of her... Read up on her now on some Swedish forum, and the consensus feeling is that the CD is a top-notch. Apparently she was a hairdresser from Gothenburg, and incredibly good-looking, too.. I'm going hunting today, thanks for the tip!

Cheers

Here's the back cover of the CD Chris.

It would seem that Rodney Bewes was a member of her band - didn't know that.

There's a nice version of her "You Never Come Closer" by my current favourite Scandinavian group. Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band.

Magnus Carlsson's (from Weeping Willows) recently did this Swedish cover-version of what song?

That's Begging - great version! The backing sounds more like Timebox than 4 Seasons.

Nice one
