Dig on platters a-plenty, from The Chantels to Del Shannon, The Small Faces to Jimmy Reed. And so much more. Maybe some Basie and Kenton? Relax. You’ve earned it!

Julie London had a slew of great album covers! Playboy Magazine-worthy, only with clothes on! I assume her hubby, Bobby Troup, who wrote "Route 66," gave her a few musical tips.

@Gerry from Miami - you will not get an argument from me re Julie's LP sleeves! Bobby Troup also penned one of my top favorite songs: "Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring"

Many of Brian Wilson's songs make me melt away! Too bad we don't have Carl around to sing them. He was the most gifted vocalist in the Beach Boys, imo.

Not to overlook that great cut from the Association. The glee club at my college alma mater sang a few Association tunes at their concerts. Some intricate choral arrangements there!

Dennis, I just checked my Archie's single and you are right. Wow I don't think I ever played the B side of that before
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:38pm

@Gerry from Miami - The Revels were a Gary Usher studio concoction with the Wrecking Crew. I'd need to research who the singers were. named for Revell - the model car company!

Wonder if that was Al Jackson or Howard Grimes on drums on A Nickel And A Nail?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:03pm
Dennis Diken:

hey Dudski - good question - my money's on Grimes!
  3:05pm
Dudski:

Good ear. Just found it and it was Grimes. I know nothing about drumming but from all those Al Green records I associate Al Jackson with a little fuller sound. But the Hi records stuff is such a distinctive sound you know it is one or the other.
  3:07pm
Dudski:

O.V. Wright was great.

@Dennis - re: Jim Gordon - A few years ago I came to the morbid realization that John Lennon's 'Imagine' LP sessions featured two future murderers and two future murder victims (both of whom were killed right outside their respective NYC apartments).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:40pm

@Stu - do tell?!
  3:40pm

My mom was a big fan of June Christy. I grew up knowing this song. Seductress pop!

I still can't believe that last time you "aired" this show, I walked into my local record shop the same week and found that Something Cool LP right as I walked in.

@Dennis - Phil Spector & Jim Gordon: murderers. And Lennon & King Curtis were both killed outside their apartments. Curtis less than a year after his sessions with Lennon.

Murry Wilson thought he was as talented as his offspring: Brian, Carl and Dennis. Visions of grandeur. The Boys had to fire him, I think.

Thanks for another great show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:47pm
Dennis Diken:

@Gerry from Miami - indeed, The Boys fired Murry. but in all actuality, he was not an untalented man tho not in the same league as his sons. and the band probably wouldn't have gotten off the ground without his push and dedication.
