Ολο και κάποιος θα τούς ειχε δει σε ταινία του AL Bano εεε!!

The Rokes were one of the more unusual British Invasion-era groups to come out of England, if only for the pattern and locale of their success. They never sold many records in England, or any in America, but they were a major act in Italy and also managed to make an extraordinary, albeit indirect, impact on the 1960s with a song that they originally premiered in Italian.

Their big success and their major impact on the world of rock & roll beyond Italy, however, came when Shapiro co-authored a song called "Piangi Con Me," a hit for the group in Italy and later released in England by the group as "Let's Live for Today." The Rokes' version was relatively subdued and reflective. It was first covered by a band called the Living Daylights, but it was when the song was picked up by the Grassroots in America and recorded in a more defiant and dramatic fashion than the Rokes' original, with P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri producing, that it made a permanent impact on music and American popular culture. That record not only sold more than two million copies, but became one of the most enduring hit singles of its period — with a special meaning to Vietnam veterans — and, stylistically, was a forerunner of a sound that Bruce Springsteen would become a star with nine years later.
RARE ALBUM.. Don't miss it.
