Los Bravos - Black is black

[bluemoon99901]

Era una criaturita cuando escuchaba esta canción...¡me encantaba y lo sigue haciendo!!

ya no hay cantantes ni canciones como las de aquella época...¡qué va!

[wilmanvargas]

Exelente cancion. Recuerdo mis tiempos de adolecente...

[georgesorosisgay1]

my favorite song

[jacseszbori]

nekem nagyon bejön még most is

[ra8graham]

the first glimmer of hope for non-anglo pop.

[zombiecarnnival]

me encanta este grupo, que si es español (excepto el vocalista que es alemán) y con esta canción se hicieron internacionales

[artistecat]

Love it, one the greatest song...in pop history

[Sundance7055]

[odin9021]

ok,ok, pero antes podrias explicarme ke jotas significa lol?

jsjsjsjsjsjsjsjsjs<-----(risas silenciosas)

[zerocc]

Veo que muchos dicen que LOS BRAVOS son Mexicanos pero estan equivocados. Son ESPAÑOLES y yo creo que mas que molestarse deberian ver que a LOS MEXICANOS nos gustaba este grupo y por eso quisieramos que fuesen de aqui.

[BlankiiLoveBeatles18]

this is 100% SPANISH MUSIC NOT MEXICAN MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!

[odin9021]

¡¡¡¡ NO FUCK ME!! Mexicans do not make music so simple with 1 or 2 positions that is the hallmark of Spanish and Argentines, we export and do not waste good guitarists.

les puse en ingles que..¡¡¡NO ME JODAN!!!! los mexicanos no hacemos musica tan simple , con 1 o 2 posturas eso es el sello de los españoles o argentinos , nosotros exportamos buenos guitarristas y no basura

[Asier2008]

@odin9021 Lol, la musica antigua en todas partes eran asi, aun no había tanta extroversion en el mundo y la gente era mas introvertida. Esto es musica de verdad, si en mexico no haceis esto, que lastima por vosotros :) Disfruta de la cancion ^^

[samylenzo]

@odin9021 Tú lo que haces es pensar con el rabo, y lo que exportas es ridiculez, ignorancia musical y toneladas de envidia

[winowillywilson]

there is a group from mexico called los bravos.sooooo mexican music is the best

[baird55aus]

@arganion I'm an Australian who also spent four and half years living in China.

[gamerzita]

I'm 13 and I love this old song

[winowillywilson]

MEXICAN MUSIC IS THE BEST

[jenjudas]

@winowillywilson They arent Mexican....they are from Madrid, Spain.

[baird55aus]

America -310 million people with an inflated view of their own importance. All people of the world are as important as the next lot - just because people care for different things to you doesn't make them less important.

[arganion]

@baird55aus you're right, I'm curious just about where you came from?

[liveforevermaybe]

@reSAVAGEGUY what! oh yeh i'm so jealous of not being able to live amongst the average american as shown on the gerry springer show.

[p51nion]

Remembering the USA. We took it for granted then - when it was great - when it EXISTED.

[Mrbeatles1991]

@reSAVAGEGUY ahahaahahahaahha do you know something about Columbus? ;-) USA is a great country but Spain has beem the most powerfull empire, just remember it.

By the way, British musicians are much better than american...

[bellier20]

@reSAVAGEGUY You need to chill out, bro. You're all worked up.

[karenlesley79]

Brillilant classic

[64Excelsior]

@reSAVAGEGUY .... A Spanish group with a German singer performing a song written by 3 Englishmen, recorded in London and released on a British record label reminds you of "how awesome and proud America once was" ???????

[sombrita818]

this song is cool

[rakkasan611]

the 6 dislikes don't know what great music is

[rakkasan611]

this is great the last time i heard this was in the phillipines on the hospital ship the USS REPOSE SUBIC BAY

[dbowie007]

Yes, he sure does sound like Gene Pitney.

[jmb92555]

I had this on 45 back in the 60s and I loved the flip side. If anybody has the US 45 and can tell me the title of that I'd appreciate it.

[Baskerville22]

His stage posture & mannerisms are very like the lead singer of The Who

[Kuselka]

Thank you very much!!!

[gerardgfc]

This was written by an English bloke who now resides in Australia, met his son but can't remember his name, bloody dementia!!!!!!!!!!

[CommanderRZ]

great tune with at great hook....viva los bravos!

[sombrita818]

Baddass oldie

[moltoboss1]

Gran cancion!!

[perilobo]

belissima apresentaçao de Los Bravos com esta cançao que foi tocada em todo o mundo em 1.966 e em todo o Brasil foi um grande sucesso tambem com o Elvis frances Johnny Hallyday com o nome de Noir est Noir , e tambem grande sucesso com Jerry Adriano intitulada Escureceu. tres interpretaçoes diferentes e tres grandes sucessos na época.

[Kittielips]

Thank you.

5*****.

Jennie.

[Mutedvox]

til I saw a picture of the group when I bought the record I always thought that this was Gene Pitney recording under another name. This guy's voice sounds so much like Pitney's.

[dakota5054]

Un magnifique morceau

[johnnyfarout]

whachi c huicko hulo wacko dingo hooloo

[swudanst]

HE looks good and can dance!!!!

[kingericnc]

hell ya need some of those pop rocks from the 60's

[57bigjoe]

No memories of todays music is being born for the recollection of the mind! very sad!

[C3rvand0]

To those who were wondering all the musicians are Spanish except the lead singer who is German. An amazing song that has aged magnificently.

[sexiesadey]

Yes they are all Spanish except Mike the lead singer, but he lived in Spain for a very long time and he appears to identify more as a Spaniard throughout his adult life. He was truly the most handsome young man I have ever seen!!!! I would have gone insane for him back then...whoever he married is leading a very blessed life if he is as nice as he is handsome and talented!

[Kittielips]

@sexiesadey

I couldn't agree more!

Thank you.

Jennie.

[sexiesadey]

@Kittielips You're not Mike's wife...are U?????? If U R...lucky U Honey...

[Kittielips]

@sexiesadey

I was, but I hexchanged im fer Neil Sedaka.

Thank you.

Jennie.

[lokitoonx]

F5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[huachuhichu]

@lokitoonx que tiene que ver un avion en este video

[lokitoonx]

@huachuhichu ahahahah XD F5 = Actualicense la canción es buena pero.......

[huachuhichu]

@lokitoonx aya jajaja

[TheImagine4]

Qué gran canción. A mi personalmente me gustan más Los Brincos, pero los dos grupos hacían un pop de muy buena calidad en aquella época.

[estrella1490]

esta es la buenaaaaaaaaaaaa

[susanadleiva]

Yo amaba a Los Bravos pero este grupo poco a poco se fue desintregando despues del suicido de Manolo Fernandez el pianista.

[ArsenicAlchemist]

I know that nobodies will believe me but...

My mom lived in Spain around that time. Her mom and dad refused to let them practice in the garage. Believe it or not, they spoke very little english...

All true I swear. My Grandfather was in the Air Force and he was stationed at Torrejón Air Base outside of Madrid. They chose to live off base and in Madrid, they met awesome people and had great times. I've been only twice.

[4ANACLETO]

si son españoles pero con mucha clase, uno de los mejores grupos españoles de todos los tiempos.

[majorcarfan]

Yeah I totally agree with you everything was better back then man. The cars the music no hurries and no worries and best of all no OBAMA tring to controll everything

[rosfirgui]

ai qui saudade desse tempo.... amo rock, rock 'n roll, rock a billy, amo muito....

[natxo24]

Maravillosos años de juventud. Preciosa canción.

[Kathi515]

Great song ! <3

[cheluzal]

Wiki says this is a Spanish-based band....those guys look severely white to me--are they Spanish and just fair-skinned? Honestly asking.

[Shaun86]

@cheluzal

Yeah, they are from Madrid, Spain. In Spain, a lot of people have a light tan, not dark as some would think, while some look closer to your average white male skin color, and some have a nice olive complexion. Really depends on what parts of Spain you are in. I am mostly Spaniard but you wouldn't guess it because of my complexion. Martin and Charlie Sheen are of Spanish decent, with a nice light skin color Antonio Banderas is a good example of a olive skin complexion.

[cheluzal]

@Shaun86 Coolio. I teach students who are mostly Mexican, so I guess I'm used to a darker complexion. Honestly, I would've thought this band was British! lol

[liberto1974]

@cheluzal hi! I guess you haven' t ever been to Spain. I recommend you to travel and visit it, and you would realize most people are fair-skinned (proportionately more than in USA, for example). To get an idea of this, maybe you know Pau Gasol or Rudy Fernandez. Also you will find here friendly and warm people. Ah! I almost forgot. Spain is Southern Europe :) Regards

[rperez9999]

geat song , lots of memories

[markthelark]

Modnifico!

[kerry5296]

these guys are the best - no one else can do their music - these guys are GREAT - love his voice - can watch over and over and do a little dancing on my own!! Karen

[Kookies40]

I saw these guys live at the Batley Variety Club. They were really good.

All the big names played there, we were so lucky to live just a few miles away, so saw them all. GREAT TIMES!!!

[LamarAugusto]

¡Bellísima!

[256timoteo]

Grandi,un viaggio nella nostalgia

[igni53]

fatti anche un viaggio all'inferno!!!!

timoteo ti coddu deo!!!!

[256timoteo]

ma va a cagare represso di merda

[Jndo05]

great song! oldies!

[bempsie]

67????What the hell???/

[Cristhine89]

El grupo se creó en España pero el cantante creo que es Alemán

[johnnyfarout]

White is white, so good is good!

[pabanil]

Black is black, so bad is bad!

Nahum

[tony1721]

this is awesome..FACT!!

[carlosnieves10]

que recuerdos de donde son los bravos

[martinenq]

Still good

Johnny Hallyday's version is better

"Noir c'est noir"

[borddakter]

totally badass and classic. whoa!

[Patonight]

Excellent!

Thank you for sharing this old vidéo!

Regards

[may7spain]

a great spanish song!

[icegirl71388]

Love this song, great classic of the sixties!

[DaChBlog]

Classic of classic of straclassic!!!!!!!!

[tomandjerry2007]

Good old sixties.

[nalniuqs]

Funny how they used to 'fuzz-out' the crotch of these early rockers to make them 'safe' for TV. It's a far cry from a 'wardrobe malfunction'

[wiscsuzski]

@nalniuqs LOL. I thought there was something strangely flat there - considering how tight the pants look. Different times for sure.

[atticvs53]

The bass player was an ex-matador....and the organist killed himself when his wife died tragically...useless information but ..???

[cyjon007]

I bet Conan O'Brien could do a killer impression of this guy.

[tortosaguy]

sounds more like billy joe royal

[drlemoncobra]

sounds like Gene Pitney to me

[ecmedinita]

sí de españa!! :D

[lyndloo]

this is a Great sixties Classic !! thanx for posting ...Lyndloo..

[RecordsOrama]

Question: What do you get if you have Gene Pitney singing a Holland-Dozier-Holland composed Four Tops song?

Answer: "Black Is Black" by Los Bravos

[RonRaddio]

I could see one of the Motown groups singing this!!

[RossanaM80]

THe group is from Spain , the singer is of German and English heritage. His name is Mike Kennedy. His family lived in Spain where he grew up.

[chikotntw]

The Hives totally ripped these guys look!

[inkey2]

I heard that the person that wrote this hit song did so while serving in viet-nam in the armed forces. Some how a person with music connections became aware of this song. The writer was offered a one time payment for the song. He figured he would die in battle anyway so he sold it. Has anyone else heard this story? or is it bs

[shorewinds]

Great Tune, This was the music back in the day.

[smagisa]

YouTube have the Original Singer Thanks YouTube nice song!

[smagisa]

I like the song thanks Youtube for finding my song I like here so can beable to hear them again.

[HilaryMG]

Brilliant! Super Duper, and Fantastic!!!

[moveonupcb]

tom jones should have covered this song!

[lukedogg]

weird...but the drummer looks like John Lennon in this vid!

[SHUNGABALI]

Love love this song and Mike Kennedy too, great band , great time.

[anitashelby]

Such A Great Song!!! Love This One Alot!!! 5*s Thank You.....Anita...

[Ilovekatiepricexxx]

Cool song.

But I only know this song cos my stepdads brother wrote it :)

[RonRaddio]

Man, does he sound like Gene Pitney!!

[inkey2]

to ronraddio: wow...I never made that connection.....he sounds like Pitney for sure

[14101492]

el cantante es Mike Kennedy, es aleman.

the singer is Mike Kennedy, he´s German

Great song!! 5 *

[stig5882]

takes me wayyyyy back. toe tappin' stuff indeed.

[startravellers]

Los Bravos is probably a spanish group, but the singer...I don't know...

[02081960ma]

ORGULLO IBERICO ! ! !

Los Bravos son un grupo español de música rock de los años 60. Se trata de uno de los pocos grupos de rock de este país que han tenido repercusión internacional, gracias sobre todo a su gran éxito "Black Is Black" (1966).

[musikfan007]

the hairstyles of these guys are back in style, the hair looks modern, LOL, most of my friends have this kind of hairstyles now

[TERESAALFAMBRA]

El Orgullo del pop español...,¡GRANDES!!

[officerperez]

Anybody have access to the Eddie Santiago version that was on the Nacho Libre Soundtrack? I can't find it anywhere.

[speedskiff2]

have yet to hear another drummer play this song the way this guy does. His drumming compliments the singing while other drummers just bang out a beat. Originals are always special in their uniqueness.

[master8357]

Anybody know where these guys were from?

[Fetusluxan]

supposetly the band members had different nationalities but most of them were born in Spain except for the singer, he was born in Berlin

[mariale2807]

but lived in spain so... they were spanish

[FireMedicPolice]

Spain :)

[xonix10]

@FireMedicPolice el cantante era aleman, pero si, SPAIN !!!

[scotchpfc]

spain dude

[krasnaya80]

They`re from Spain.

[RedBeardDragonSlayer]

I always thought Johnny Halliday (spelling?) performed this first until I read up on this.

[DRUMMERxGURU]

Classic oldie , One of my favs :)

[jess16saint]

awesome fuking song

[oakchar]

Born in 1951, can still get a date with a young lady in her twenties, still play soccer, and still love Los Bravos and "Black is Black''. Forgive the boasting. The music puts me in a good mood.

[dontrushme2112]

I was born in 1959 and still love these tunes. Very little new music will be remembered l40yrs from now like this 40 yr old gem.... Keep rockin

[funeral1957]

Born in 1969 but i love th 50's and 60's songs

[tylerlovesthebeatles]

Born in 1992 and I HATE today's music.... Can't get enough of the 60's and 70's

[dessert57]

agree! songs now = nothing! those older songs has style and toe tapping qualities and made you feel great! xxxxxxxxxx

[guim19]

wow u r young and smart

[SuportJohan]

So true, so true...

[majorcarfan]

@tylerlovesthebeatles Yeah I totally agree with you man. The 60s and 70s were great times that both of us didnt get to see. The cars the music and no hurries or worries and best of all no OBAMA tring to control everthing.

[doncorleon818]

@majorcarfan

shut up with the OBAMA BS! This video is about Los Bravos and a great song. Keep your BS to yourself moron.

[sicbo5]

@tylerlovesthebeatles

yeah!!! the today's music stink!!

[zyutrab]

@tylerlovesthebeatles I was born in 1990 and think the same.

[nenadmirkov]

Define Irony .. I was born in seventies, and I always felt nostalgy for 60's  :)

[CassisLips]

such a great song!

[v19d]

Where was this play in

[seifer182]

the bravs rules!!!

[Beitina]

Es negro es negro, y quiero que mi chica regrese, es gris es gris, desde que ella se fue ...(8)

Me encantan "Los Bravos" =D

[tony1721]

absolute classic, love the sixties

[laloportales]

es excelente, lo mejor de lo mejor

[antones630828]

Que delicados! Tiene mas de 40 agnos el triste video y todavia no lo liberan, que mezquinos. Que con su pan se lo coman!

[ThankfulForLife52]

Yep, this was really popular back then.

We danced the night away!

Thanks, Jeanette, for sharing this.

Luv,

Kathy

[antones630828]

Los bravos' videos are so good. Allways choose one to put on my favorites, but in this case i'll make an exception, and put several of this song.

[laura060366]

Another great 60's song! Thanks, Jeanette for sharing.

[DejaVuSu]

Yeah...LOL..what you said Laura!! ;)

[AnchoriteProductions]

Wow! This one will clear some cobwebs! I love the bass players glasses.....they're back in style again!!! :-) -Derek

[schnellguy]

This song was popular in Germany in 1966 when i was there in the army,Great sound.

[pixes100]

esta musica se escucha en mexico

[cuama45]

mi amigo no se que edad tianes pero dejame decirte algo, cuando empezo este movimiento en mexico ya lo escuchaban,es una epoca que con la cual mucha gente se identifica ahora en estos tiempos.

[lavozdos]

this guy does sound like gene pitney

i don't know if gene covered this song

but I'll vote for los bravos as that's the one i remember from back then

[lelboy]

Nice. I don't suppose you'd have them singing "I don't care"? Thanks for posting.
