The Shadows - Apache (1960)

[diamondtran]

One of the most recognized tunes in the world. This song will never die.

One of those timeless melodies!! Such a great video too... incredible how 62 years ago they got it together! With no computers, no internet, no fancy equipment... just a bunch of young guys making music together...the real deal... love it!!

I don't know who produced and/or directed this video, but they were genius! So ahead of their time. This is just a riveting masterpiece of time travel. I absolutely love this video.

I was so stunned by "Apache" when I first heard it in Poland I have never forgotten it. But I was also curious why Jerry Lordan (who wrote this melody) chose to call it "Apache." So when I eventually came to New Mexico, I decided to study 19th-century Apache Indians. Now I know why Apache Indians could have inspired such a magical, immortal instrumental. That its release coincided with the rise of the Shadows and the new Fender guitar is beyond magic.

I hope that young people watching this appreciate how damn far ahead of its time this song was.

This band doesn’t need a singer. The electric guitar does all the singing for them.

I’m 74 years old now, I remember my buddy and I listened to this 45 when we were about 12 years old.

[Dusyanya]

This is one of the earliest recordings of this track.  The truly great Hank (Brian) Marvin and Bruce Welch.  A piece of musical history - never - NEVER - to be deleted !

[chriskinkead]

I'm. 75. And. Still. Think. It's. Wonderful easy. Listening.

[judieevans]

Dragging main street in the 55 Chevy, windows down, the old AM /FM radio at full blast so loud it would vibrate the dash board. What a great time it was for all of us who got to live in that time period. I wish I could have do overs, I would gladly do it again.

Unforgottable. Many thanks for share it

I was 11 years old when This song was released. I loved this song. It still sounds great.

[RastaSaiyaman]

Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Brian May and Tony Iommi, each and every single one of them changed people's perspective of what an electric guitar could do. But I think that Hank Marvin should be in that list as well, he's the OG BAD ASS!

[SkeligMichael]

Nothing can beat the original of Apache by The Shadows. 60 years old now. And still I love to hear it.

I remember dancing to this when I was 15 at the “Youth Center” in my hometown. It’s amazing how music can imprint on your heart, and take you back for a moment in time. This is one of those songs.
