Had his skin cancer been diagnosed today, he would, in all likelihood, have survived. In the summer of 1966 I was living in Spain. . Charlie had some terrific success & didn't want to interfere with his newly-acquired top reputation... "Killing me Softly with Music" etc etc.. with this crazy novelty record. Well done! I loved him very, very much. The Chiquita Banana Company was given a chance to make it their "logo song", but turned it down. 2:20. He always seemed like he would be around forever . I think it is safe to say that, in Spanish at least, must be one of the most populat themes ever. I wouldn't swear to it, but my first contact as I remember it was that Juanita Banana was in a spanish version a competing song in the big European Chansons Contest back in the sixties and made a nose-on-nose race for the top ranking with the winning song, and I - a teenager then - was very disappointed that it didn't win. . He would take me to NYC clubs to listen to music then get up on stage to play the drums.
I just decided to search for Tash Howard after many years. Henri Salvador juanita banana 175. gripette katy. I heard this song many years ago and is one of those thigs that you never forget.
Ty Loup. It was originally thought of as a pure joke, but after the lyric was originally offered, a hit emerged .... Charlie Fox created the terrific arrangement under the condition that his name would NOT appear anywhere including the label. Greetings: GZ Hi my name is Kev Lock, and i'm a D.J on the English mod scene, i recently aquired a copy of "Scrooey Mooey" by The peels, not for the A side but for the flipside "Time marches on", it has been eluding me for near on 20 years, not only is it an excellent tune from the 60's but now having read the story of Tash it all adds to the kudos of owning it.
PS I've updated the email address on my profile page so if you want to email me it should work now. . Thank you for this post. It's actually pretty good; he does the narration and the father's part as if he wrote them; doesn't sound like a cover. It would be great to bring together information about Tash and publish his story in a blog post or Wikipedia article or both. He actually changed his name....I was a blood related family member who grew up only knowing him as Tash...Tash passed away in 1977 of melanoma. He was an extraordinary soul singer and felt demeaned by the "novelty" song career he was getting into. Refrenget er en tilpasning av «Caro Nome» fra Den ble opprinnelig utgitt på singlen Karate 522 (i USA) og Stateside 513 (i Storbritannia) i 1966 med The Pools, ei studiogruppe satt sammen av medopphavsmann Tash Howard, som også var medprodusent på singlen. Watch the music video and discover trivia about this classic Brazil song now. Music and sidetracks of the 50s, 60s and 70s, more or less related, or not, to my Australian song history site "WHERE DID THEY GET THAT SONG?" I just heard this song for the first time tonight on the Novelty collection you mentioned and went looking for what the aria was that is so infectiously pop-ified. so this is such a shock!!! This was a cut-in or break-in record (a distant ancestor of the mashup ), where a comedian would do a commentary as, say, a news reporter and snippets of current songs would be inserted to fit in with the story. Thanks. He tried to resurect Tiny Tim's Career.
