Sparks, the 15 best collaborations: not just Gorillaz …

ByJohn

The recent release of “The Happy Dictator”, the first single of the new album of the Gorillaz “The Mountain” (which will be released in March), perhaps made the Sparks known to a new generation of listeners. The Sparks, still and always active since its debut in 1970 (55 years old!) Are a cult band, which recently performed in a concert in Milan (here our review) and in their long career they often collaborated with other artists. Below you will find 15 songs in which the brothers Ron and Russell Mael interacted with other musicians.
