100 RALPH SIEGEL SONGS – SONG 21 (TINGEL TANGEL MANN)
When we started the project of picking 100 Ralph Siegel songs we looked at all 500 plus we have on CD/vinyl and then selected the 100 to feature in posts. Unfortunately song 21 we cannot find on youtube at all – really have no idea why TINGEL TANGEL MANN by HARMONY FOUR is not there since it was a selection song in 1984 in Germany.
100 RALPH SIEGEL SONGS – SONG 20 (LAGO MAGGIORE)
Karel Gott who is from the Czech republic, represented Austria at the 1968 Eurovision song contest. His career spans over many years and he has sung in several languages but his German songs are our favourites. This song, composed by Ralph Siegel we regard as his best ever.
100 RALPH SIEGEL SONGS – SONG 19 (SING SANG SONG)
In position 19 we get the song SING SANG SONG by the Les Humpfries singers. 1976 entry for Germany and probably the weakest song Ralph has ever written for Eurovision. It is totally repetitive.
