De "Jairo" me gustan dos canciones, "El valle y el volcan" y "Nuestro amor será un himno".
Ambas son hermosas canciones y siempre disfruto escuchandolas.
A pesar de que esta canción (según parece) fue cantada originalmente por "Formula V" yo la conocí primero con "Fedra y Maximiliano", al cabo de los años cuando "DIDECA" lanzó un L.P. de recopilación de éxitos de "Formula V" descubrí que ellos la habían cantado primero.
Personalmente me gusta más la versión de "Fedra y Maximiliano", como he comentado anteriormente, Canal 11 de la televisión guatemalteca cada Sábado transmitía peliculas argentinas, una de esas peliculas se llamaba "Pimienta y Pimentón" y ahí aparecieron "Fedra y Maximiliano" intepretando esta canción, hasta el momento solamente en esa pelicula he visto a este duo argentino.
Cuando conseguí este disco 45 me emocioné mucho porque durante mucho tiempo lo estuve buscando, si la memoria no me falla fue allá por 1982. La canción es más o menos de 1975 y ya se escucha un poco más madura a Karina.
Esta canción de Karina es la No. 1 en mi preferenica de las canciones de ella, me gustan muchas pero esta tiene algo especial, quizás porque me trae recuerdos muy gratos.
De " La 5ta. Reserva " tengo muy poca información, eso no quita en lo absoluto que no me encanten sus canciones, relativamente son pocas pero muy buenas. La canción " Amores que se lleva el viento " se escuchaba muchisimo en "La Voz del hogar". Espero algún día poder tener más información de ellos.
El grupo "The Kinks" es uno de mis grupos preferidos, la canción "Sunny Afternoon" es una de las clásicas de este gran grupo.
Sunny Afternoon
The Kinks
1966
The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Save me, save me
Save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama
Trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of
Drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Help me, help me
Help me sail away
Well, give me two good
Reasons why I oughta stay
Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Ah, save me, save me
Save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama
Trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Me gustan varias canciones de "The Rolling Stones", principalmente las que lanzaron durante los 60's. La canción "Heart Of Stone" me gusta escucharla porque tiene el sonido agresivo, seco y duro que caracterizó a "The Rolling Stones".
Heart Of Stone
The Rolling Stones
1965
There've been so many
Girls that I've known
I've made so many cry
And still I wonder why
Here comes the little girl
I see her walking down the street
She's all by herself
I try and knock her off her feet
But she'll
Never break, never break
Never break, never break
This heart of stone
Oh, no, no
This heart of stone
What's different about her
I don't really know
No matter how I try
I just can't make her cry
Cause she'll
Never break, never break
Never break, never break
This heart of stone
Oh, no, no, no
This heart of stone
Don't keep on looking
That some old way
If you try acting sad
You'll only make me glad
Better listen, little girl
You go on walking down the street
I ain't got no love
I ain't the kind to meet
Cause you'll
Never break, never break
Never break, never break
This heart of stone
Oh, no, no
You'll never break
This heart of stone, darling
No, no, this heart of stone
You'll never break it, darling
You won't break
This heart of stone
Oh, no, no, no
You better go
You better go home
Cause you'll, you'll never
Break this heart of stone
"The Wanderer" es una tremenda canción de "Dion", me encanta escucharla. El lado "B" de este disco 45 R.P.M. "The Majestic" también me gusta mucho porque se escucha claramente la voz de "Dion" y los coros.
The Wanderer
Dion
1961
Oh, well, I'm the type of guy
Who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are
Well, you know that I'm around
I kiss em and I love em
Cause to me they're all the same
I hug em and I squeeze em
They don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam, around, around
Around, around
Oh, well, there's Flo on my left
And there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl
Well, that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me
Which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt
I got Rosie on my chest
Cause I'm the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam, around, around
Around, around
Oh, well, I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
And I'm happy as a clown
With my two fists of iron
But I'm going nowhere
Oh, yeah, I'm the type of guy
That likes to roam around
I'm never in one place
I roam from town to town
And when I find myself
A-falling for some girl, yeah
I hop right into that car of mine
I drive around the world
Yeah, I'm the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam, around, around
Around, around
Oh, yeah, I'm the type of guy
That likes to roam around
I'm never in one place
I roam from town to town
And when I find myself
A-falling for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine
Drive around the world
Cause I'm a wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
Around, around, around
Cause I'm a wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
Around, around, around

La canción "Runaround Sue" la conocimos en Guatemala como "Susy la coquetona", me gusta mucho la canción.
Mayte Gaos lanzó una versión al español, me gusta también pero tengo preferencia por la original.
Recuerdo muy bien cuando conseguí el disco 45 R.P.M., estaba muy viejo pero se escuchaba bien, en ese tiempo era bastante complicado conseguir los discos en el mercado local (me refiero a Guatemala), gracias a amigos que viajaba a otros países fue que logré conseguir otros que muy difícilmente hubiera podido conseguir.
Regresando al tema del discos 45 R.P.M., el lado "B" contenía la canción "Runaway Girl" y también la escuchaba porque quería conocer todo lo que pudiera de "Dion", con el tiempo me llegó a gustar esa canción, escucharla me remonta a esos tiempos.
Runaround Sue
Dion
1961
Here's my story, it's sad but true
It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town
Hey, hey, wooah
Hey, hey, wooah....
I should have known it
From the very start
This girl will leave me
With a broken heart
Now listen. people
What I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue
Yeah, yeah
I miss her lips
And the smile on her face
The touch of her hair
And this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't
Wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a
Runaround Sue
Woah.....
She likes to travel around, yeah
She'll love you
And she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story
From the guy who knows
I fell in love
And my love still grows
Ask any fool
That she ever knew
They'll say keep away
From-a Runaround Sue
Keep away from this girl
I dont know what she'll do
Keep away from Sue
She likes to travel around
She'll love you
And she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story
From that guy who knows
I fell in love
And my love still grows
Ask any fool
That she ever knew
They'll say keep away
From-a Runaround Sue, yeah
Stay away from that girl
Dont you know what
She'll do now, woah
Tengo que reconocer que al principio esta canción me caía muy mal porque sentía que Frankie Valli se había salido de su línea y se había vendido barato. La pelicula no la había visto porque no tenía dinero para poder pagar la entrada al cine. No se exactamente cuando la vi pero fue en una matinal (peliculas que se proyectan en la mañana) que tuve la oportunidad de poder verla, aprovechaba las matinales porque proyectaban dos peliculas y el precio de la entrada era mucho más bajo. Ya para esa tiempo me gustaba la música de los 50's (me gustaba mucho la serie de T.V. "Happy Days") y con esta pelicula se me incrementó ese gusto.
No he vuelto a ver esa pelicula desde hace muuuchos años pero la canción si la escucho con frecuencia.
