thanks for any input.

The sound quality is to degraded for me to understand the first 2 songs. If you have better copies at home, try writing down the lyrics and then doing a google search for them.
my usually search to include:
1) the word "lyrics"
2) a few common word from the song
3) a short, unique phrase in quotation marks


thats succesful about 95% of the time, give it a shot.

Unfortunately, I'm here for a friend who is backing up his 20+ years old cassette types to CDs.
Most of these cassette types are from late 70s and early 80s and the quality is not that good.
Any how I will try to catch something using a headphone and try again.
thanks for your advice.

thanks for all the time you've put on it.
hope somebody comes in with the answer

The first song sounds familiar to me but I don´t know who it sings.

I have also tried to google parts of the lyrics, but no results :-(

thanks for trying to help

I don't speak english fluently but I was able to transcribed this from the first song. Maybe someone can correct.

Sandy oh Sandy
My sweet ??homie??
Sandy oh Sandy
What am I gonna be?

There's no more of ???????
As I see her now and look around
I can hardly see the tenderness we shared long long time
Long time ago

Hear my ??fear??
Sandy oh Sandy
My sweet ???homie???
Sandy oh Sandy
What am I gonna be
Sandy oh Sandy
Won't you care about me
Sandy oh Sandy
We still have a chance, oh sweet

Love is free and sometimes is ????so cool???
Never knew that it could hurt so bad
I thought once again that I could change her mind
As I did long time ago

Hear my ??fear??
Sandy oh Sandy
My sweet ???homie???
Sandy oh Sandy
What am I gonna be
Sandy oh Sandy
Won't you care about me
Sandy oh Sandy
We still have a chance, oh sweet

... but you've obviously listened to too much gangsta hip-hop in your life

Sandy oh Sandy
My sweet ??homie??

YMMD with this post! Now I too "understand" the same thing all the time, well thanks a lot!
homie = homeboy. I must be priceless how a girl would gaze if you called her "homie"

Sandy oh Sandy
My sweet ??homie??

I understand: MILES AWAY FROM ME


But I could be wrong, too.

One thing I am very sure about that it was a popular song in the 70ies in Germany. I really recognized it from the first sound,. But I do not know the Artist. Maybe a one-hit-wonder.

I believe is

Sandy oh Sandy
My sweet, hold me

OK. Now the reggae one, and my favorite.
That is more difficult. I was able to transcribe only a part. But couldn't find it yet

Rock little children rock
Give the life all you got
Play little children play
To my world so far away
Sing little children sing
About the joy your life can ???bring???
Dance little children dance
You won't get a second chance

??Plant a seed and watch it grow???
Like a flower a love must grow

unfortunately Google doesn't find any result for above lyrics.
Actually it does and the result is this page.

That was awesome f_oliver2003 !!
I always understood "Sing little GYPSY" instead of "sing little children sing"
Now with all those "children" lines, there's finally a true guide what to look for!

Next line sounds like
"a shining pot with a heart of gold" (?)

Do a search for "Sandie oh Sandie"

Looks like it could maybe be the band "Turkish Blend" ?

The voices / style sounds not exact, but similar (Ex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BFh-H430TI) but I didn't see that song specifically. I dunno. Maybe not.

Fantastic find! That could really be it:
http://www.musicstack.com/item.cgi?item=103828564

Turkish Blend - "Sandie Oh Sandie" (1977)
French band. And I can clearly hear a French accent in there, too.

I heard something similar but different:


play little children play
tomorrow's so far away

I wonder how did you find it/
I checked different spells for my search (Cindy - Cindi - Cindie) but never Sandie.

Million thanks to all for their help Specially you and anickname.

Well actually I ... didn't find anything at all, frankly spoken. anickname did all the work, so pass the kudos to him, less to me I just took his infos as a basis for research...
I confess that I would never have thought of that sort of spelling either, since I rather had a "Cindy" in mind than a "Sandy" from the beginning.

bumping this again...

Still unsolved this "reggae" one ... (though more like lovers rock)

Any ideas, you newly registered guys on here?
