As long as there’s a Philippines, they will come.

I’m talking about pop stars whose best days may be in the distant past, but whose love affair with Filipino audiences is always in the here and now.

Maybe it is the older generation asserting its influence over their children or their grandchildren. Why not? They are the ones with money to spend. So instead of spending these on tickets for their kids at rock concerts, they are spending it on themselves to listen to the music they grew up with.

In the ‘60s, Pardo was the lead vocalist of a popular band called The Griffins, specializing in Beatles and Dave Clark Five songs. The local variety show "Nine Teeners," patterned after the US music programs "Shindig" and "Hullaballoo," often featured The Griffins on TV.

Groups like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Dave Clark Five, the Searchers and the Kinks became legends in their own time. They were at the forefront of the new wave, conquering near and distant shores.
