Memories of the 1970s

Hola Amigos,

I lived a total of 9 years in Spain (1971-80) and I have a whole lot of "popular culture" memories I wanna share with you. I'm sure these images ring a bell!!


Gaby, Fofo, Miliki y Fofito


Fofo


La musica de los payasos.


Hombre Rico, Hombre Pobre ("Rich Man, Poor Man.")


Remember "Los Hombres De Harrelson" (S.W.A.T.)?


La Casa De La Pradera ("Little House on the Prairee.")


El Cine Exin


Exin - Castles


Jueges Reunidos


Bimbovision (It came with the "Bimbo" cakes)


Super Tio Vivo


Remember that tv show "Curro Jimenez"?


Kiko Ledgard (Host of "Un Dos Tres")


'Un Dos Tres, Responda Otra Vez' - Remember this game show Friday nights?


The Fugitive


Sandokan - A huge show in the mid 1970s in Spain. The actor who played him (Kabir Bedi) visited Madrid during a promotional tour and his female fans caused a riot!


Miguel Bose


Richard Clayderman


Angela Carrasco


Camilo Sesto


The Icons of the 1970s: Leif Garrett, Kabir Bedi, Michael Landon etc


Montana Rusa ("Rollercoaster" - Another one of the 1970 "Sensurround" Disaster films ("Earthquake," "Midway") where the sound system in the theatre would shake the seats).


El Coloso En Llamas ("The Towering Inferno" - I remember seeing this in 1974 at the 'Cinerama Theatre' in Madrid).


Need I say more?


Marco: De Los Apeninos A Los Andes


La Abeja Maya


Vicky the Viking - I remember watching this show Monday evenings.


Mazinger Z - Shown every Saturday afternoon. We would share our thoughts on it Monday morning with our friends at "Numont School"


Pixie y Dixie


Heidi


Maguila Gorila (Remember those small books?)


La Tortuga D'artagnan!


Mirinda


Anisitos


And Last but not Least Detergent!!

Special thanks to my old friend Michel Deschappelles for the "Gaby, Fofo, Miliki y Fofito" CD! It certainly brought back memories.
