Can't nail the name of this song at all.

Italian chap sang it I think. Long one word title, nagging beat and brass backing. Possibly my first world music experience, after the Singing Nun!

Charlie's single of the week in the NME in the mid 70's, straight out of left field, and I know he played it on BBC Radio London show as recently as 3 or 4 years ago.

Priesancantol... something like that. I can't even begin to remember the singers name.

Charlie / Anyone help me?

Thanks a lot

[Charlie]

From memory, Adriano Celentano

Phonetically, I recall, Prisen colen nine ti nine ciuso

Great track, a 45 rpm single on Epic.

Maybe I should play it again in my world hits series on the WS.
