Diah Iskandar


The plaintive voice of Diah Iskandar now on this playlist.
99.9% of my playlists are directly oploaded from my own record collection
On this playlist the processing is: Record-Cassette-Computer-Internet.
The reason: Long ago I recorded it at a friend's ( Nico van B.) who had the original LP
I forgot to write down the song titles, later I got valuable info about the playlist from a person who was named Old Prince ( many thanks ) who was formerly also on multiply.com

"Hate Abdi" is in Sundanese language.
From 1960: "Ta Paidia Tou Peiraia" by Melina Mercouri.
This song became a world hit better known as "Never On Sunday"
"Everybody's Somebody's Fool" originally by Connie Francis.
Nice try by Diah Iskandar, but she's better in her own language.
The same applies for Connie Francis who also had songs in other languages, German etc.
The original record could be from approx 1967, but I am not quite sure, just a guess.
