Shadows - Apache 1964

Shadows - Apache 1964
Released 1960

The Shadows are an English instrumental and vocal rock and roll group active from the 1950s to the 2000s

"Apache" is an instrumental written by Jerry Lordan. It has been recorded by many artists, but the first released version was recorded by British group The Shadows in June 1960 and released the following month. The song topped the UK singles chart for five weeks. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Apache" at number 96 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.

In North America, The Shadows' original version is unknown, and the song is identified with Jørgen Ingmann, a jazz guitarist from Denmark. In 1961, Ingmann produced a cover version that, billed to "Jørgen Ingmann and His Guitar," made number two on the US pop chart, and number one on Canada's CHUM Chart.

Sounded terrific to me as a horney 16 year old in 1960, still sounds terrific as a horney 66 year old ;~) Growing old is a done deal, growing up ain't ! Enjoy your air guitar ..........I was in London though, great music, check Jonny Kid ;~)

Hi There,

I'm working on a documentary that deals with Apache. Does anyone out there happen to have any idea what this particular performance is from?

Thanks
