High Chaparral was very popular in Sweden.

One of Sweden's most popular female singers made a record in 1968 called Manolito

The first verse translated to English:

My vision goes hazy
My mind just goes crazy
When I watch High Chaparral
Manolito, when I see Manolito

Henry Darrow even toured Sweden appearing at what we call "Peoples' Parks" parks with open air stages and dance floors and became a teen idol. This is a photo from his appearance at Stockholm's amusement park Gröna Lund in 1969
