The release of the "Motown Around The World" compilation gave me the idea to start this thread - of songs by Anglophone artists which they redid in other languages (for European, Latin American, and Japanese markets).There were more than many people realize.


YouTube - RARE! MARVIN GAYE - wie schön das ist (german)

And it wasn't just Motown artists that did redid their songs in other languages:


YouTube - green circles (italian version)-small faces.

Enrique Iglesias and ABBA are not US or UK artists. Both continental Euros.

It's common for continental Euro acts to do songs in different languages.
