Speaking of staying alive, here's a guy that people didn't take seriously when he made waves in 1964 with that band called the Beatles.
Mom always said to keep your eye on the drummer in the back, lol.

Happy Holidays to one and all! 
'Tis The Season and this is the right place and time to introduce the wonder song of the 70's.
To my ears there's definitely a church hymnal quality to this song and as you listen you can hear the influence of any number of tunes in the melody. So popular was this Spanish song in it's country of origin that it was chosen as Spain's entry in the 1973 Eurovision Song Contest, where it reached second place!
Although a classic, I have to admit that it wasn't until 1983 that I first heard this song. Yet make no mistake, there's no understating what a huge internationl hit this song became. The circumstances that brought this song to my attention are so incredible that I promise to make a post about the whole event in the new year.
There's a remastered video on youtube but I prefer the unrestored version. It all has an air of excitement that reworking seems to remove somehow, maybe its just my imagination that the old video is waay cooler. Yep, I just love this old video. It reminds me just how long ago this all happened!
