SEVKET UGURLUEL & HIS FRIENDS
About this single "Metin Geligor Metin" :
Metin was the most famous Turkish football player in the 60's. Football-beat / rock'n roll. Odd sounding gem. Somewhat funny ("Metin Goal, Metin shoot, & penalty ! ..")
Famous little boy who sang. Did "Mommy Blue" (naïve talk over). This is a Doors song. Incredible band plays on it, who might even gives a more psychedelic version as the Doors with their 70's freakout Hammond, effects etc. ; at moments they play kitchy and funny along with the child's voice. Very funny.
Another single : "You" / "Gozleri Aska Gulen" Melodi Plak / 2158 :
"A beauiful early Turkish Jazz sample from 1960's. "Sevket Ugurluel ve Arkadaslari" Sevket Ugurluel, still a perfect musician, pianist & vocal.
Face A, an arrangement by Ugurluel, in English, with unusual vocals for 1960's Turkey.
Face B is a must listen! A well known Turkish music in jazz forms, beautiful harmony, rhytm and vocals. Half of the song Ugurluel sings in English, second half in Turkish. " Guner
