Nous les amoureux - José Guardiola

Although 'Exodus' is undoubtedly the lead track on this EP by José Guardiola, I bought it for one of the other tracks: his version of 'Nous les amoureux'. Although the title is shown in French on the sleeve of this EP, José performs it in Spanish. The subtitle on the back is 'Sol de nuestro amor'. The same applies to 'Rockin' little angel', which is subtitled 'Rock entre nubes'. The EP is pressed on blue vinyl, which gives it an obvious appeal.

Guardiola was an obvious Eurovision fan: he also recorded a version of 'Dio come ti amo' in 1966 and he represented his country in 1963 with the song 'Algo prodigioso'. I'm still after that single...

Dio come ti amo - José Guardiola

José Guardiola was born on 22 October 1930 in Barcelona. He performed and recorded mostly Spanish versions of foreign songs and reached his maximum fame in Spain and Latin America in the early 1960s with versions of songs like 'Sixteen tons', 'Mack the knife' and 'Ya Mustafa'. He also represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963. 

Three years later he released this single, featuring a cover version of Domenico Modugno's 'Dio come ti amo'.
