CARS-Drive (Dodi's crossover mix) (1984)
Back to more usual crossover. This time I made some changes on fantastic 1984 track ''Heartbeat city'' from The Cars. LP with same name we can easily call best of The Cars with hits like ''Drive'', ''Hello again'', ''Why can't I have you''...I still can't decide which one is the best. Well...it doesn't matter anyway.THE CARS-Heartbeat city (Dodi's crossover mix) (1984)
I was kindly asked to include some more of this oldie, all time instrumentals here and with joy I'll do it.Especially because of one more reason. Hardest to find is instrumental for which you don't know any info. I spend years to dig out melodies I knew all my life simply because I didn't know where to start. Of course, internet makes it much easier these days, but 20...25 years ago when I started collecting all sorts of music, it was much harder.Here's one I made last night. Title was composed by Olivier Toussaint for a french movie ''Un Linceul n'a Pas de Poche'', recorded by Jean Claude Borelly instantly became smash all over Europe. Original is, as you may asume, something over 3 minutes long. I managed to stretch it to 7:14.
PERCY FAITH ORCHESTRA-Theme from ''A summer place'' (Dodi's crossover mix) (1960)
I knew their music long before I discovered their name. I knew their name also....long before I discovered that I actually know their music so well. Years passed by and they are still one of my favourite 80's band. ''It didn't matter'', ''Long hot summer''...uf uf...amazing...''The lodgers'', ''Shout to the top''...fantastic...''Boy who cried wolf'', ''You're the best thing''...one better than the other. Sure among their best, one place must be for ''My ever changing moods''.
1984 was, is and will be on top of my favourite music years. Something out of space, beyond our understanding happend I guess, and we have so many amazing tracks today. Not many years in pop music history can compare 1984.
