Craig W Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Just been listening to a couple of Frankie Valli tunes before I go to bed before I get up early for the Sunday boot sale and while listening to I'm gonna change thought about the Italian influence which was quite huge towards a large number of major classic tunes , whether it was by Frankie Valli , Dean Parrish etc, the writing credits Teddy Randazzo etc had a major influence on a lot of the big sounds. What are your favourite sounds or influences from Italian artists or producers. I will be playing I'm gonna change by The Velours at the Connaught on the 29th. Any other suggestions .
