Simon Napier-Bell

Santa Lucia - Clive Whitelock & Dave Bowden 1968

Today I bring you a rerecording of 'Santa Lucia' performed by Clive Whitelock, jointly written in 1968 along with Respect lead singer Dave Bowden.  Dave and Clive appear below in this 1968 photograph sitting outside  a pub in the estate they grew up in in the High Wycombe area of London.

Good morning. The recording and performance is entirely the work of Clive Whitelock using a 4 track taperecorder if memory serves.
