OK, folks... Now she's taken to sneaking things out overseas... look at the mail I just got tonight: ***************** "Just got a copy of Basia's new single. Its credit is 'Taro Hakase featuring Basia' and the song title is 'So Nice (Summer Samba)' This single contains two tracks : album version and instrumental. ***************** ...well, those of you who are lounge music fans will recognize the tune... it's one of the more infamous cocktail numbers from the 50's. Taro Hakase is a Japanese violinist, so **THIS** is gonna be interesting, to say the least... (...and I probably don't even need to mention it, but my copy was ordered just a few minutes ago from Japan-- should be here in about 4 days. I'll keep everyone posted!)

I remember it well. (Had to be early to mid 60's.) But, did she forget the lyrics? :) Dih dih, dih dih, dih dih dih... I like the tempo. Sounds like it belongs on a "Jammin' Oldies" station...

Glad she's still alive and working. I was getting worried. This is a little too fast, I think (picky, picky!), but it was still great to hear Basia singing something new. I miss her very much and look forward to a whole new CD. When was that supposed to come out again? ~Marianne ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 11:46:13 -0400 From: "Paul Fish" Subject: Re: ...and here's the Sony (Japan) URL, with sound clips!!

Sorry this is totally off the subject, but thank you Jim for mentioning Pearl Jam. I mean, what in the hell is up with that song? PUKE. It's my opinion that Basia should NOT do an all-dance album like Cher. She could kick ass on a few songs--but with dance albums you lack variety often, and our Grand Diva Basia has variety that we want to keep. What should she do next? Country? raburabu disco joe ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V4 #182 ***************************
