Harry Braff – The Bee Gees

In these days, the pace of this song might not seem fast enough to follow the zooming F1 car driven by the (imaginary) F1 hero Harry Braff, but in the sixties this speed was enough. Besides, you can always set your turntables to 45 rpm and listen to brothers Gibb go at the speed of light (this will also suit you if you prefer the 80s’ Bee Gees singing voices). If you have no idea what I’m talking about, ask your parents (or possibly grandparents).
