I got that wrong. All of my comments about ...Sorry. I got that wrong. All of my comments about Sergio Franchi relate to Sanremo Festival entries that he recorded. Of course, they wew not all Eurocovers.

Re Sergio Fran...Just recently discovered your site. Re Sergio Franchi's Eurocovers: In his recording career from 1960 to 1968 he recorded 16 Eurocovers. See the new Discography I have just completed on Wilipedia. These are identified under "Italian and Neapolitan Songs." There are the 4 1960 songs; "Volare" (1958); "Piove" from 1959; "Lei" and "Al di la" from 1961; "Quando Quando Quando (1962); "E se domani" (1964); and five from 1968.."Quando m'innamora," "Canzone per te," "La Vita," "Non persare a me," "Stanotte sentirai una cazone," and "Dio, come ti amo" from 1964.

That album is a classic in my book. On it Dana covers R&B hits like Oh Girl (Oh Boy), Have You Seen Her (Him), Your Love Keeps Lifting Me HIGHER & HIGHER as well as songs written by Curtis Mayfield, Eugene Record and Barbara Acklin. It is really a must have. Hopefully someday a reissue label will see fit to release the Not The Flower But The Root album on CD with bonus tracks.Toonces2Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170732121597346833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37394968.post-51290066827558519602010-01-28T16:36:50.468+01:002010-01-28T16:36:50.468+01:00My favorite by Dana is "I WISH YOU LOVE"...My favorite by Dana is "I WISH YOU LOVE", perhaps recorded back in South Africa. I saw her in 'Wait a Minim" in New York, cherish recordings of both S.A. and NY casts.<br /><br />And the first live opera of my life was Butterfly with Sergio Franci Galli as Lt. Pinkerton. I was a student in Johannesburg then.<br />Those voices are part of my life.<br />Thank you Dana for a great deal of joy.Lynnoreply@blogger.com
