the beginning of 'standing in the shadows of love' just elicited a big hands-in-the-air-palms-up-raise-the-roof from me. then i realised i was at work, and put my hands down.

Los Bravos info from songfacts.com

just because it's on the web doesn't make it true, but:

"Los Bravos were a Spanish quintet. They are one of the few Rock groups from a non-English speaking country to have an international hit. Lead singer Mike Kogel's voice sounded so much like Gene Pitney's that many listeners assumed that "Black Is Black" was a Pitney single.

A French female disco group called La Belle Epoque recorded this in 1977. Their version hit #2 in the UK. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above"

Paint it, Black is Black!

always a VHM for Mick.  Too bad about his Oscar "snub", tho' I really didn't consider it a snub.

the song he wrote with Dave Stewart, from the Alfie remake, won the Golden Globe last week but was not Oscar-nommed for Best Song. And some writers have talked this up as a "snub" but the movie and soundtrack flopped. I think KFOG played the tune (a Mick and Sheryl Crow duet) for maybe a week.

Mick didn't get an Oscar nom for "Old Habits Die Hard," his collaboration with Dave Stewart on the Alfie soundtrack.  A good song, to be sure.

Agreed. A nice bounce-back after yesterday's paint-by-numbers set.  But hey, ya can't be inspired every day.
