Canarios, the band led by Teddy Bautista, was one of the first Spanish groups to incorporate the sounds of emerging musical trends\u2014primarily from the English-speaking world\u2014into its repertoire. It was also one of the first Spanish bands to tour the States (they even recorded an album there under the name The Canaries). <\/p>\n
In 1968, \u2018Get On Your Knees\u2019 was released, a stunning soul track recorded by Swiss producer Alain Milhaud that quickly climbed the charts in numerous countries. Its appeal remains undiminished, and it still gets regular spins in the 60s scene today. <\/p>\n
\u2018To Be A Man\u2019 is something of a rarity in the discography of Spanish singer Camilo Sesto, whose songs typically lean toward straightforward melodic pop and ballads. Surrounded by an international team of collaborators under the direction of former Brincos member Juan Pardo as producer, he recorded this psychedelic-tinged pop song. Its sophisticated arrangements and sinuous fuzz-laden bass line create an effective and irresistible dancefloor-filler that was released as a 7\u201d single in several countries but, curiously, not in Spain. <\/p>\n
