The Italian Beat - When Italy was covering all of our music

Posted by: admin

Tagged in: music

I was searching for Italian covers of popular International songs for the fun of it, and I couldn't believe what I found. In the 60's and early 70's there was a huge trend for covers. Some are absolutely fantastic, while others are... well, they should have been left alone. I found everything from "I'm a Believer" to "California Dreamin". From "Crimson and Clover to" "Sugar Sugar", and from "House of the Rising Sun" to "Summer Lovin" from Grease! A few of them are even by the original artist! Look for Diana Ross singing in Italian, and well as David Bowie performing an Italian version of "Space Oddity". So I created a playlist of everything I found on Youtube, and here it is. I hope you have as much fun as I did!
