Super boy

gipsy-man

You gotta hear these!   Christopher Hart   sings     “Gipsy Man” with the St. Julian’s School Choir under the “leadership” of Maestro Cesar Batalha.   RT Records (1981)   Art:   Maria Lucia   / Photography:   Lourenco   (Portugal)   Thanks to lp cover lover, Paolo Martins for writing “Christopher Hart rocks all you teens out of your closet with his fabulous double 45.”

Gipsy Man:   Every kid dreams of freedom outdoors.

“I’m am the gayest Gipsy man that rides inside a caravan”

super-boy

The “B” side: “Super Boy

Super Boy:   A song about British superpowers.

“I’m always so supreme when I have my daydream”

Paolo adds: Maestro César Batalha composed a lot of children music. He’s responsible for the theme of the band Onda Choc in the 90’s and several others. Onda Choc was a pre-teen cover band.   Gipsy Man was also sung in Portuguese and its melody spread everywhere where emigrants with children went.   A French friend of mine recalls the song in Portuguese as Little Gipsy Woman, not Man.     I’m not sure where Christopher Hart came in, but he’s British and probably sang in St Julians School Choir.   Maybe there was some effort to internationalize Maestro Cesar’s themes by bringing in some foreign singers.
