Philips Italiana nel Brasile

Philips is not the kind of label one usually would link to Italian hits. In 1967, when the Italian Invasion was on the wane, Brazilian Philips released a Fausto Leali single that would conquer the hearts of many people: 'A chi', a cover of 'Hurt' that Timi Yuro took to #4 on 31 July 1961. This single would play day and night at our record player. 

'Hurt' is a 1954 song by Jimmie Crane & Al Jacobs. It was originally recorded by Roy Hamilton, peaking at #8 on the R&B charts spending 7 weeks on it.
