This gives an initimate quality to the sound, and has been imitated by almost every singer since.

And Boney M. too - the "singers" are from the Caribbean, but it's Frank Farian, who really composed, sang and produced the songs. He just wasn't cool enough in front of the audience :D (He had another famous project like this, Milli Vanilli - when he didn't say that it was all fake...).And 5) is really shocking.

lol@ AC/DC

More Australians:
Mel Gibson (what women want)
Rupert Murdoch (he owns a lot of the most famous newspapers in the world)

I never understood the thing about German musicians singing in English, but then they probably don’t understand why a lot of us blog in English!

One important reason is that his peak year was 1948, we were sort of "occupied" while he was singing.come on that was a good one! Bing who?!!!
