The Lovers from Cuba

Just because the mid-'60s came a band that was so successful that ended up constituting a brazilian fever.
Half a world bought their albums, and lived as a conscience (which often hangs so far) of what is good has to come out, everyone thought that the orchestra was Cuban or something like an orchestra formed in the United States for musicians Cuban dissidents ...
Almost nobody knew, but the orchestra was very Brazilian! They had to use this "trick" of a name suggestive internationalized, after all, who would buy records at the time of an orchestra in Brazil?
A wonderful series of albums was released and sold until the very early 70's, but such was the pressure of active censorship of the dictatorship that the orchestra no longer exists. The government said his name was praising communism. Unfortunately the Romantic Orchestra of Cuba has been extinguished, but will never be forgotten!

Brooke Benton

Brook Benton (September 19, 1931 – April 9, 1988) was an American singer and songwriter who was popular with rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and pop music audiences during the late 1950s and early 1960s, when he scored hits such as "It's Just A Matter Of Time" and "Endlessly", many of which he co-wrote.

He made a comeback in 1970 with the ballad "Rainy Night in Georgia." Benton scored over 50 Billboard chart hits as an artist, and also wrote hits for other performers.

Big break

In 1959 he made his breakthrough with his hits "It's Just a Matter of Time" and "Endlessly". "It's Just a Matter of Time" peaked at #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, while "Endlessly" made it to #12. Both of the first two hits were written by Benton with Clyde Otis. They were originally offered to Nat King Cole, but when Otis became an A&R official at Mercury, he convinced Benton to sign with the label and record them himself, while asking Cole not to record the songs as planned. He followed this success with a series of hits, including "So Many Ways" (#6), "Hotel Happiness" (#3), "Think Twice" (#11), "Kiddio" (#7), and "The Boll Weevil Song" (#2). In 1960, he had two top 10 hit duets with Dinah Washington: "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" (#5) and "A Rockin' Good Way (To Mess Around and Fall in Love)" (#7).[3]

He also recorded his own version of "Take Good Care of Her" in 1962. In the mid- and late 1960's, Benton recorded for RCA Records and Reprise Records with minimal commercial success. In 1969 he signed with Cotillion Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records, where the next year he had his last major hit with "Rainy Night in Georgia".

Benton eventually charted 49 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, with other songs charting on Billboard's rhythm and blues, easy listening, and Christmas music charts. The last album made by Benton was Fools Rush In, which was released posthumously in 2005. At one point he was recording on Groove Records.

The Squirrel Nut Zippers

The Squirrel Nut Zippers is a band formed in 1993 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina by James "Jimbo" Mathus (vocals and guitar), Katharine Whalen (vocals, banjo, and ukulele), Chris Phillips on drums, Don Raleigh on bass and sideman Ken Mosher.

While the band's eclectic fusion of Delta blues, gypsy jazz, 1930s-era swing, klezmer, and other styles makes them hard to categorize, their unique music found a niche in the late 1990's, when the band met with national recognition and commercial success, sometimes associated with the Swing Revival of the same period.

After a hiatus of several years, the original band members reunited and took to the stage again in 2007, playing select dates around the United States through 2008.

They played the last night of The Voodoo Experience held at City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana over Halloween weekend 2009.

The italian Mina

Mina Anna Mazzini OMRI (born Anna Maria Mazzini 25 March 1940), known as Mina, is an Italian pop singer with Swiss citizenship. For the great extension and agility of her soprano voice and her image as an emancipated lady, she was a staple of the Italian television variety shows[2] and a dominant figure on the Italian charts in the 1960s and 1970s. During the performances, Mina combined several modern styles with the traditional Italian melody and swing music making her the most versatile pop singer in Italian music. Mina dominated the Italian charts for fifteen years and reached an unsurpassed level of popularity in Italy.She has scored 98 albums and 70 singles in Italian charts.She gave up public appearances in 1978, but continued to release popular albums on a yearly basis to date.

Mina's TV appearances in 1959 presented the first female rock and roll singer in Italy. Her loud syncopated singing earned her the nickname Queen of Screamers. For her wild gestures and body shakes, the publicity also labeled her the Tiger of Cremona. Having turned to light pop tunes, Mina's chart-toppers in West Germany and Japan in 1962–1964 earned her the titles of the best international artist in the respective countries. Mina's more refined sensual manner was introduced in 1960 with Gino Paoli's ballad "This World We Love In", which charted in the Billboard Hot 100in 1961.

Mina's pregnancy and relationship with a married actor caused her to be banned from the Italian TV and radio channels in 1963 as her lifestyle did not accord with the dominant Catholic and bourgeois morals. After the ban, the Italian broadcasting service RAI continued trying to prohibit her songs which were forthright in dealing with subjects such as religion, smoking, or sex (e.g. the songs "Ta-ra-ta-ta" and "Sacumdì Sacumdà"). To her bad girl image, Mina added her sex appeal and her cool act featuring public smoking, dyed blond hair and shaved eyebrows.
