There is an Italian music written by Mauro Lusini called C'era un ragazzo che come me amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones.
Then made famous by singing it with Gianni Morandi at Rai Uno just before being censored by Rai TV channel. Other famous versions are Gianni Morandi - C'era un ragazzo and an older version of same song.
Searching the Internet, I found the following passage (lacks sources) the story about this song:
Gianni Morandi, the famous Italian singer in the 1960s, he recorded at the request of the composer Mauro Lusini this song. He made the first English version, Poorly, and showed Gianni, who loved and recorded as a single in 1966, already rewritten in Italian.
There were two famous covers in Brazil. The first group: Os Incríveis - Era um garoto que como eu amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones in 1970.
And the second: Engenheiros do Hawaii - Era um Garoto Que Como eu in 1990.
I wonder if there is any cover in british or american english of this song.
