It all started when the Paupal tr trio ended.

Marнa Paz Undurraga was the first voice of the trio, she could not fight against her vocation and soon after she was trying to form "The best female vocal group of all time" And they succeeded.


He started working with Marнa Eugenia Peralta and Marнa Cristina Navarro.

Like "Los Cuatro Cuartos", to get established and get used to their new companions, they decided to sing "Jingles" and they did it in the "Show en Colores de Radio Balmaceda".

Soon after, Marнa Eugenia Peralta withdrew and Marнa Elena Infante was given way. Then Marнa Edith Casanova joined and this female vocal group was formed


After long consultations, the name "The Four Witches" came up and then their first album "When you come back" and "Parabienes al reverse" and from there to the Effervescent Show.

And as a work of magic his second album “Adonde Vas Soldado”, all this under the direction of “Chino” Urquidi, who later withdrew from the vocal arrangements.

They were not discouraged and Cristina and Elena took their guitars and the arrangements for "Collar de Caracolas", "Come here, my gift", "Refalosa de las Brujas" and "My grandmother danced Sirilla" were born. Urquidi himself congratulated them.

In 64-65 problems arise and they decide to retire, the press, radio, letters, telephones make them return but this time Marнa Edith Casanova does not return and in her replacement comes the pleasant presence of Marнa Teresa Mainу.

And so this witch story was completed for this L.P. That on side A is the voice of Marнa Edith and on side B Marнa Teresa Mainу. That is part of Chilean musical history.

Kenneth McKellar

Born 23rd June 1927 in Paisley, Scotland / Died 9th April 2010 in Lake Tahoe, CA, USA.

Kenneth McKellar was a Scottish tenor. Most famous for his interpretation of the works of Robert Burns.

McKellar studied forestry at the University of Aberdeen. He later trained at the Royal College of Music as an opera singer but rose to prominence as a performer of Scots songs.


His albums of the songs of Robert Burns (now digitised) are considered by musicologists to be definitive interpretations.

He competed for the UK in the 1966 Eurovision Song Contest, performing 'A Man Without Love'. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s he appeared on the BBC Television Hogmanay celebration programme, alongside Jimmy Shand and Andy Stewart.

McKellar made the majority of his recordings on the Decca label. He also recorded several classical works, including Handel's Messiah alongside Joan Sutherland in a performance conducted by Sir Adrian Boult.

Nella



The combination of her unusual, highly beguiling voice, some excellent songs and corking dance grooves make the recordings of Nella Dodds have charmed collectors of Northern Soul and girl groups for more than 35 years. Nella should, by rights, have had an album release in the mid-‘60s, when she was signed to New York’s Wand label via a production deal with Philadelphia’s Dyno-Dynamic Productions -essentially the precursor of what would eventually evolve into classic 1970s ‘Philly Sound’. She should also have had several major hits, rather than just the two fair to middling ones that she did have. But by the time that Philadelphia usurped Detroit as the epicentre of commercial Soul music, Nella Dodds had forsaken music for domesticity, destined to be regarded as another ‘great unknown’. Both sides of all six singles Dodds released on Wand between 1964 and 1965 are on this compilation, along with three outtakes from the same era, which have never been heard in public since the day they were recorded. Besides Nella, others who participated in these sessions include musicians who went on to form the core of MFSB, legendary Philly DJ/songwriter Jimmy Bishop (discoverer of and mentor to a host of other Philadelphia soul greats, most notably Barbara Mason) and Philadelphia International co-founder Kenneth Gamble, who wrote many of the songs. As well as Nella’s hit cover of the Supremes’ 'Come See About Me' (a song that made it up to number 74 in the charts) and its Top 100 follow-up 'Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers', this great collection features the Northern Soul favourites 'Come Back Baby', 'Honey Boy', 'First Date' and 'Maybe Baby'. It also includes what is probably the best cut on the set: Gamble’s moody ballad ‘You Don't Love Me Anymore’ which, sadly wasted on the B-side of ‘Come See About Me,’ sounds like a cross between Dionne Warwick and mid-'60s girl groups. All in all, this is a consistently enjoyable retrospective of an underrated singer who deserved more than she got. http://www.allmusic.com/,

Royden Dickey Lipscomb, born September 21, 1936, Memphis, Tennessee, known professionally as Dickey Lee (or sometimes Dickie Lee or Dicky Lee), is an American pop/country singer-songwriter, best known to teenagers early on. from the 60s, for themes like "Patches" or "Laurie (Strange Things Happen)".

Lee made his first recordings in his hometown of Memphis for Tampa Records and Sun Records in 1957-58. He first hit the charts in 1962 when his song "She Thinks I Still Care" was a song for George Jones (with versions by Elvis Presley, Connie Francis, Leon Russell and later Anne Murray as, "He Thinks I Still Care ").

Later that year, "Patches," written by Barry Mann and Larry Kobler and recorded by Lee for Smash Records, moved up to No. 1 . 6. Due to the content of the teen suicide lyrics, the song was banned by a number of radio stations. However, it sold over a million copies and was awarded a gold record.





Lee also had a hit at position no. 14 in 1963 with a song he co-wrote, "I Saw Linda Yesterday." In 1965, he returned to teen tragedy with "Laurie (Strange Things Happen)", a song related to urban legends.

After the 1960s, Lee dedicated his efforts to making and composing country music. His 70s country hits include "Never Ending Song of Love", "Rocky" (another bittersweet song, written by Jay Stevens of Springfield, MO - aka Woody P. Snow), "Angels, Roses, and Rain," and "9,999,999 Tears."

Dickey has also co-wrote several songs with Bob McDill, including "Someone Like You" (by Emmylou Harris) and "The Door is Always Open" (by various artists, most notably Dave and Sugar).

He co-wrote Tracy Byrd's 1994 hit "The Keeper of the Stars," and wrote or co-wrote songs for a number of other prominent American artists, including George Strait, Charley Pride, and Reba McEntire.

Dickey was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. in 1995.
