60's Music



Ironically the original of that song took off in the UK by a US band and flopped here while Peter Noone's band did the opposite.



Goldie and the Gingerbreads (1962-67) were the first all-female band signed to a major label. The lead singer there is Genya ("Goldie") Zelkowitz,.who later became the lead singer of Ten Wheel Drive as Genya Ravan.
 


Consider the source. YouTube.

Harry is correct, it was released 1958. Discogs

For whatever reason, I hear this song and I'm instantly transported back to the summer of 1963.

And a classic case of cultural imperialism; the original song "Ue o Muite Arukou" had nothing to do with food at all; it was a social-spiritual song following a failed protest against the continued US occupation of Japan.
 
I wasn't there, but thanks for the excuse to post some Don Ho! :abgg2q.jpg:

'67. I do know a lot of older songs. I've been many a place listening to Don Ho on the road.
