What song are you listening to?

Went through old hits with friends, and came across Jay and the americans Cara mia, -- the days of great voices and production. A world wide hit.
 
Couple of notable musos from the 60's/70's passed away recently.

Wilko Johnson - original lead guitar with Dr. Feelgood and one time guitarist with The Blockheads. Had a unique and mind boggling style.


Kim Simmonds - founder, songwriter and lead guitar for Savoy Brown ( 60/70's English blues rock band)

 
OMG, what a great piece, either we're twins or your stalking me 🤣 I play this on my entertainment unit grom time to time.

Edith Piaf - dedicated her recording of the song to the French Foreign Legion.

At the time of the recording, France was engaged in a military conflict, the Algerian War (1954--1962), and the 1st REP (1st Foreign Parachute Regiment) — which backed a temporary putsch of 1961 by the French military against the civilian leadership of Algeria — adopted the song when their resistance was broken. The leadership of the Regiment was arrested and tried but the non-commissioned officers, corporals and Legionnaires were assigned to other Foreign Legion formations. They left the barracks singing the song, which has now become part of the French Foreign Legion heritage and is sung when they are on parade.
