You know that feeling of being helpless in front of an overwhelming wave of mixed feelings, like admiration for beauty, being happy to be alive to see it, gratitude, relief and letting go of tension? Kinda like when you go on vacation and just LET GO of everything else. Well this song is so good, it took me back to that place! I cried a little, then laughed a little when I saw myself in the mirror. I must be going mad, but this song goes strainght to my heart, and to my mp3 player! Thank u! :*

@peetie25 ............check out the post made by The Grancapo yesterday...........They wrote the song, signed with Del Fi, and made this recording..........unfortunate­ly, some unknown came forward and claimed it to be his song

[TheGrancapo]

everyone has been wondering who the members of the pharos were. Well they are Cesar Aliviado, (lead guitar). Emilio Martinez, (rythum guitar). Greg Tangonan, (drums). Bill Bontempo, (piano). Phil Pastrano, (sax). jim irvin, (bass). We lived in La puente, calif, and Hacienda Hts. calif. I have the newspaper photo of when we signed with del-fi recording studios in may of '63. emilio martinez

For those of you who don't know, it's a surf version of the Spanish song, Angelitos Negros. an old bolero from the 30s/40s . the first like starts off with

Pintor, Pintamente angelitos negros.

It's a very sad song.

good one.

I have lots of Del-Fi surf records, mostly bought in the early 80's, but have never heard of this one. It's excellent, the Latin style songs are especially good, THANKS for posting.
