Patrick Swayze (RIP)
‘She’s like the wind’ (1987) by Patrick Swayze (*1952 – †14 sept 2009).
See also the post ‘Jack Falanga‘ from a few days ago.
Volare
Yves Klein, ‘Saut Dans le Vide (Leap Into the Void)’ (1960).
“Volare”, that famous song and kitsch schlager, was about… Yves Klein!
The chorus of the song goes “volare”, but the original title is “Nel blu dipinto di blu” (“In the Blue Painted Blue”), a reference to the famous blue that the artist Yves Klein made his signature.
The song has been covered at least over 100 times. Many recorded versions exist.
I collected some of the best:
Fischli & Weiss
Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Der Rechte Weg (1983) (55 min.).
The wonderful ending scene of ‘Der Rechte Weg’ (The Right Way) where the rat and the bear discover music.
John Baldessari
‘Baldessari Sings LeWitt‘ (1972)
