Dit nummer heb ik thuis op single met als uitvoerder Cliff King. Dit zorgde even voor wat verwarring bij ons aan tafel (na het aflezen van de antwoorden, that is, ik kon namelijk niet op de naam Cliff King komen).SepPuKu schreef: 25 - C(3) - Ricky King - Verde
Ik vond een website met als titel "The Ricky King Story" en daar staat het volgende te lezen:
At the same time, Hans got offered a song written by two Italian brothers, Guido and Maurizio de Angelis both who, under the name Oliver Onions are popular artists and who wrote soundtracks for many Italian movies starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. They had recorded and released a song called Verde a year before in Italy but it totally flopped. Hans recorded the number for his first album and his first single. He signed a contract with BASF-Records and it took more than six months until Verde jumped into the charts and became his first hit. The label wanted a fitting ‚international' name for Hans and after due consideration came up with Cliff King, and his first album became Cliff King Plays Fantastic Guitar Hits. The album had a good start in the shops but hit two problems: German copyright control found out that the name Cliff King had been registered by someone else earlier so Cliff King became Ricky King. The second hitch was when Ricky King became successful, somebody at CBS found out that Hans Lingenfelder was signed to them already as a member of Hit Kids which prohibited them signing with other labels. They solved the problem by having a rear view photo on the BASF-album and Ricky King moving to CBS for his follow-up.
