The Rolling Stones in Italian |
|
|
|
In the 60's in Italy it was very common to take English and American songs and make an Italian version. On this page we present a list of the cover songs taken from the production of the number one musical group of the decade. In a first phase (until 1965 ) The Beatles were tnot so much known in Italy, and only few songs were selected to make a cover song. From '65 on, their songs were very well known in the original version, hence the cover songs (nearly 100) have been proposed essentially by singers and groups of little success mainly to exploit the notoriety of the original. |

As anyone can see, except for the isolated choice of Tell Me (the first success for Jagger and Richards) all the cover songs focus in 1966 and early 1967 (Let's Spend The Night Together was published in the UK on January 13 of that year ). After this date the Stones, thanks to the successful tour in Italy, were too well known since someone could be interested in a non-genuine version of their international successes. Whereas before 1965 they were almost unknown in Italy. The list includes the singles of the Rolling Stones in the sixties. No one of the cover songs is taken from songs included in their albums of the same period. |
