MME 23 - LITTLE TONY & CHRISTIANA Somethin' Stupid -MINTURNO MUSICA ESTATE '12 -Mammaro (A. Verrico)

"Somethin' Stupid" is a song written by C. Carson Parks and originally recorded in 1966by Parks and his wife Gaile Foote, as "Carson and Gaile".
Original recording by Carson and Gaile
In the early 1960s, Carson Parks was a folk singer in Los Angeles. He was an occasional member of The Easy Riders, and also performed with The Steeltown Three, which included his younger brother Van Dyke Parks. In 1963 he formed the Greenwood Country Singers, later known as The Greenwoods, who had two minor hits and included singer Gaile Foote. Before the Greenwoods disbanded, Parks and Foote married and, as Carson and Gaile, recorded an album for Kapp Records, San Antonio Rose, which included the track "Something Stupid". The recording was then brought to the attention of Frank Sinatra.[1][2]
Frank and Nancy Sinatra
The most successful and best known version of the song was issued by Frank and Nancy Sinatra on Frank's album The World We Knew. Frank Sinatra played Parks' recording to his daughter Nancy's producer, Lee Hazlewood, who recalled "He asked me, 'Do you like it?' and I said, 'I love it, and if you don't sing it with Nancy, I will.' He said, 'We're gonna do it, book a studio.'"[1][2] Their rendition was recorded on February 1, 1967. Al Casey played guitar on the recording. Some sources credit Claus Ogerman as having done the arrangement of the song; others, Billy Strange.
The song spent four weeks at #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and nine weeks atop the easy listening (now adult contemporary) chart, becoming Mr. Sinatra's second gold single as certified by the RIAA and Ms. Sinatra's third.[3] It was the first and only instance of a father-daughter number-one song in America. The single also reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart the same year. Because of the song's intimate nature, this single is sometimes unofficially referred to as "The Incest Song".[4]

Grande serata a Minturno, perdonateci qualche difetto di ripresa: i vasi sul palco erano gli stessi dello scorso anno, ma con le piante cresciute di 15 cm... Quindi più che riprendere è stata "un'arrampicata" tra i dribbling fra gli amici colleghi presenti e la tantissima gente, che non si è fatta spaventare dalla pioggia. :-)
