arrivederci francesco
February 18, 2009
As some of you may know we lost Francesco Puccioni, better known as Mike Francis, at the end of January. I will admit to not digging his stuff first time I heard it, and being late at the gates of his greatness. It was only after he died that I started to listen a little deeper and found some beautiful gems. One of which is today’s track, and currently my favourite record. All his songs have a sweet pop melody, and a gentle, but right on, groove that makes people smile and spin in circles on the dancefloor.
I played out a couple of times last week and ended up playing this record four times in total. At the end of the gig Friday, with the house lights up, I stuck ‘Night Time Lady’ on again and the reaction was great. No-one knew what it was but they all danced just the same. Even the manager managed to crack a smile.
Read more on the man and his music here.
And enjoy the next five minutes of happiness…
