Cilla Black - Abyssinian Secret descargar videos gratis

In 1968 Cilla Black unexpectedly recorded an amazing track written by Earl Okin. quite unlike any of her other material. It was called "Abyssinian Secret" and it's long been a guilty pleasure of mine.

When I decided to try creating a video for the track I searched around the internet for some appropriate footage - Arab bazaars, snake charmers, belly dancers etc.

Quite by chance I stumbled across this clip from, I think, a South American TV show. I was astounded to find that the footage didn't need ANY editing whatsoever. The choreography synched perfectly to the track. God! - who would ever have thought you could belly dance to a Cilla Black song!!! All credit to the production skills of George Martin who obviously got the musical arrangement spot on.

Camp? Yes, Cheesey? Yes, but a real classic piece of acid trip, opium den inspired, 60's pop, in it's own right. It was hidden away as an EP track and, I think, is still available on a compilation CD called "The Abbey Road Decade"

I've actually had some really positive feedback to this vid from the composer, Earl Okin, who loved the video - and that's a real buzz... Thanks Earl!

Forget "You're My World" and "Anyone Who Had A Heart" - this was Cilla when the Sixties were REALLY swinging...

Enjoy :)
