John wrote.... Can you name me three (3) #1 '60's Hits that were sung entirely in another (non English) language? Jim replied.... I have a feeling that there is some sort of catch in the question! Perhaps there were songs which were Number 1 on some chart other than Billboard (for example Cashbox or Record World)? I can only recall two making Number One on Billboard, both in 1963. "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto and "Dominique" by The Singing Nun. Before that, there was "Volare" in 1958 - and I suppose you could technically count "Love Is Blue" by Paul Mauriat, in that the A side was instrumental, and the B side was the same song sung in French. I do not know. Put me out of my misery. Please! |
