Donde estan tus ojos negros - Onnestain on puolet sinun

Kisu struck gold again with a Spanish melody in the 70's. In 1977 he recorded "Onnestain on puolet sinun" (Half of my happiness is yours). It was a success, and coincidentally(?) was again a cover of Santabarbara song (as was his 1973 hit "Uneen aika vaipuu"). Santabarbara had a huge European hit with the original "Donde estan tus ojos negros" (Where are your black eyes) in 1976.

Here's the pair:

Charly - Uneen aika vaipuu

A couple of years after playing drums in Topmost, Kisu went solo. The first solo single came out in 1970. He had several hits in the 70's but he eventually left singing in the background and made succesfull career in production work. In 1973 Kisu recorded his most succesful song "Uneen aika vaipuu" (The time falls into dream). The original song was done - also in 1973 - by a popular Spanish pop trio Santabarbara. It was called "Charly", and despite it's title, was sung in Spanish. The tune was written by the group's base player and was a hit in almost all European countries. Who is Charly? Well, it's a bird ...
