| The world of popular music
has always showed a particular sensitivity to those events, large and
small, which bring about a change in customs or fashions. Perhaps rather
than sensitivity, it would be better to say timeliness in seizing upon
and recording the evolutions of taste. Scmeone invents the telephone?
And Peppino Turco, towards the end of the last century, writes a song about it. The first Sputnik takes off into the blue? And « Volare is born. The Go-Kart becomes all the rage in 1962? Piiantra and Enrio Morricone sit down and writ€. the a Go-Kart twist*. But that's not all: nowadays, the public of popular musi; f.o is so vast that it is easy to divide it up and to even establish specific categories: those who still. prefer the good cld-fashioned song, melody and all; those who want nothing but rhythm, always new and always daerent; those who accept everything because they havo reached that particular age when all kinds of songs have something to say to tnem, and lastly, the youngest generations. This last category, which includes the teenagers of, say, between 14 and 18, is one of the most demanding of all. They cultivate their own special tastes and, for exa.aple, will accept an old song, but only if it is given a certain kind-of musical «treatment*. Even television, which is, as it were, the true-to-life mirror of the average man's tastes, has had to deal with the teenagers and give them a show of their own: « High Pressure* it was called and it appeared on Channel Two for several weeks running, with extraordinary success. |
So this record appears under
the same title as this already famous TV musical show, and contains
those songs which encountered the greatest success with the teenage
crowd of TV fans. And, of course, the only logical thing to do was to
call in the teenagers themselves to sing the songs, «singing teenagers»
like Gianni Morandi, Roby Ferrante, Rita Pavone, Rosy, Corrado Bonicatti
and Tonino Latessa (The Metaphysics), plus a few of the teenage «
graduates» like Gianni Meccia, Edoardo Vianello, Jimmy Fontana, The
Flippers, The Lucca Quartet and The Latins. Naturally, rne twist taktas the iion's share of the fourteen tunes recorded on this LP. Fcr wasn't the twist the dance craze of 1962, after all? And wasn't it also the sign that tastes had changed? A dance that swept away both the cha-cha-cha and rock 'n roll, Jet the Go-Kart vogue to song and even took over Boccherini's Minuet as its personal property. But this record also pays homage to the mad the new Parisian-born dance which has tried, so far in, vain, to replace the twist Two of the teenage stars of the TV show, «High Pressure*, both of them only sixteen, reappear on this record: Rita Pavone and Gianni Morandi. Rita sings «Amore e twist*, which was written by 15-years-old Angelo Bovenzi (who took second prize in the recent Feslival of the Unknowns organized by Teddy Reno). Then «Una partita di pallonee, which Edoardo Vianello compo:sed especially for her. Morandi, instead, takes over the « high-speed* numbers: «Andavo a cento all'ora* and «Go-Kart Twist*. |
