Search - The Rokes :: Let's Live for Today: The Rokes in English 1966-1968

The Rokes were Brits who went to Italy in 1963 and became one of the biggest bands in the land for the rest of the decade. They chalked up numerous Italian language hits and recorded four albums as well as becoming an enormous live draw and TV favorites. However, scattered across those albums were a number of English language songs that somehow came off sounding like a Euro-tinged blend of The Beatles, Hollies, Kinks and Pretty Things. In '67, The Rokes released the first English language version of 'Let's Live For Today', a song they'd already cut in Italian. It went on to become a huge US hit in the hands of The Grass Roots and was covered by scores of bands. Here, for the first time on CD, are virtually all of The Rokes' English language recordings from 1966 to 1968. 16 tracks. Rev-Ola.
