Black is Black






Some music from the sixties and seventies.

At least one version will prove that not all disco was bad.

These are some pretty cool versions of the old song Black is Black.





Belle Epoque


Belle Epoque were Evelyn Verrecchia, Giusy Fortes, Marzia Thear

Cerrone


Los Bravos
I believe they originally released this back in 1966, this performance is circa 1975


Better still is the 1966 version.


Then the ultimate, not much of a video but give it a listen.
Big Maybelle



Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I'm feelin' blue

If I had my way
She'd be back today
But she don't intend
To see me again, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I'm feelin' blue, yes I do

I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow! Maybe if she
would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong

Bad is bad
That I feel so sad
It's time, it's time
That I found peace of mind, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I'm feelin' blue

I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow! Maybe if she
would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong

Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
´Cause I´m feelin´blue, yes I do
´Cause I´m feelin´blue
