Doin' la bamba - Pussycat

Released in July 1980, 'Doin' la bamba' was to be the last top 10 hit for Pussycat in the Netherlands. The single peaked at number 6 in August. In subsequent years, the group slowly lost its members until only a quartet was left in 1983. The group fell apart in 1985.

I don't have much Pussycat singles, because most of their early material doesn't really interest me. This is a strong enough track, although it always amazes me that a Dutch group would sing about Latin American fiestas.

My collection: 7" single no. 1451
Found: All that music, Leiden, June 15, 1991
Cost: 3 guilders
Tracks: 'Doin' la bamba' / 'On the corner of my life'
