Marina | The LUCKY DUCKIES | Live at the Lisbon Colosseum

“Marina“ is a 1959 Italian song by Italian-Belgian singer-songwriter Rocco Granata, his first international hit and best known song. Originally released in 1959 as the B-side of “Manuela“, the B-side became more played than the A-side, and by 30 January “Marina“ interrupted “Oh! Carol“ by Neil Sedaka for one week at the No.1 spot of Hitkrant’s List of European number-one hits of 1960. The song sold millions of copies. Even Dean Martin and Louis Armstrong recorded an english version of this song. It was #1 in Belgium, #31 in the US, and #1 in Germany, The Netherlands, Italy and Norway. It was the #2 jukebox play of the whole year in Automaten-Markt’s records after “Seemann“ by Lolita. In Eastern Europe in the “Cold War“ times this song brought happyness to the yougsters from both sides of the barricade. The LUCKY DUCKIES did their own version a few years ago and recorded again in this Lisbon concert.
