Smooth as Silk performance - live on German TV - 26th August 1967. This was the second day of colour tramsmissions in Germany. "Gala-Abend der Schallplatte" was a live show from the 25th Funkausstellung IFA in Berlin intended to showcase international artistes and the new technology of colour TV. Yes folks - over 40 years ago!!
The Crystals - Da Doo Ron Ron
The Ronettes - Be My Baby
Two great performances with reminiscences from Larry Levine and Stan Ross, Jeff Barry who co-wrote both songs, and also from Nino Tempo.
The perfect antidote for jaded Western ears in search of pure melody and emotion.
Some edited highlights from the medley "5 Decades of Heroines" sung live by Lata Mangeshkar from her "Lata An Era In An Evening" Concert in Mumbai on 9th March 1997.
Part 1 of 2
Irritatingly catchy dance track from 1986.
I recorded this off the German TV show Ronny's Pop Show way back in 1986 - an early music video show that was fronted by a chimpanzee.
And, yep VHS tapes do survive after 22 years.
Another favourite performance by Lata Mangeshkar from her "Lata An Era In An Evening" Concert in Mumbai on 9th March 1997.
I can watch these performances endlessly - they are simply wonderful!

There's a haunting quality to many of these classic Bollywood songs - hypnotic melodies that just send shivers down your spine!

Enchanting live performance at the 5th German Schlager-Festspiele on 12 June 1965.
A very different world then - seems a very very long time ago! Well, 43 years is a long time!
