Playlist: My Parents’ Mixtape of the 60s

I have a crappy memory in general but I never forget what songs my friends and family like. These Italian, French, and English songs, mostly from the 60s, are some of the first songs I have ever heard in my life. I think they, and other types of music from the 60s and 70s are still superior to most of the music that is being fed to people through aggressive marketing nowadays. "con le canzoni con amore, con il cuore, con piu' donne sempre meno suore."
