Si, Si, Si, Senor PaulT! Don Quichotte was a favorite of mine back in the day, and to see this was such europop treat from you today. Thank you!
Ahh you are very welcome MusicdivaSF. I had fun ripping this one 🙂
Thanks Paul!
Great 80s euro classic, but I was surprised it crossed over and cracked the Hot 100. Was it due to MTV play?
You’re welcome Ric. Yeah I imagine MTV played a pretty big role in this songs popularity. I do remember seeing the videon being played and heard the song on the radio a few times.
Thanks so much, Paul! Love this song!
