18 Yellow Roses (Bobby Darin)
I dedicate this song to my Sister, Desiree Rose who was born on the day it was released, April 28th, 1963 and to my beautiful Daughter, Isabella Rose. Both of you girls have made your daddy's really proud.
"Cause eighteen yellow roses
will wilt and die one day,
But a father's love will never fade away,
will never fade away"
Love Brother Den, and Isabella's Daddy.

Keep on singing baby, wherever you are. We are all still listening......

River Deep Mountain High (Ike & Tina Turner)
In April 1966 I was 16 years old and started a job at a German record company which also distributed the Philles label. A few weeks later I heard in the company for the first time "River Deep - Mountain High" and was so excited about the song. Since then I'm a fan of the voice of Tina Turner and the songs that Phil Spector had released on the label. | |
