Step into Denny’s Den to give yourself a little lift as you make your way through the busy day. Or take a break and make the world go away for a while. 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!

NYC area listeners may remember when WPIX-FM went kind of New Wave, '79-80 or so. Lou Reed was a guest on an show (maybe Jane Hamburger's?) and played "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" and cited the guitar solo as "a very Lou Reed solo."

I know this show is a repeat, but we should still honor the passing of the great songwriter, Lamont Dozier. Maybe play a couple of his Motown classics next time you are doing a 100% live show.

Pretty hip to pick up on this song so early. Way before Cooder introduced it to us youngsters!

@Woo: It's a studio concoction led by Mitch Leigh, who wrote the music for Man of La Mancha!

I see I missed the Tokens. I know that song from the Rockin' Berries version. It's pretty good!
  3:13pm
Gerry from Miami:

Tony from Astoria, Queens. Still going well into his 90s. And not afraid to mix it up with more contemporary musicians like Lady Gaga and Elvis Costello.

Thanks Gaylord!
  3:16pm

Did the Tokens cash in on the George Harrison plagiarism decision over "He's So Fine"/"My Sweet Lord"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:16pm

Tony B's farewell show with Gaga was stunning. He gave it everything which wasn't easy for him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:17pm
Dennis Diken:

@Gerry from Miami - yes, the Tokens did ok on the "My Sweet Lord" deal
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:18pm
Dennis Diken:

@Eric R - yes, it is! my fave is the Tokens version - but The Rockin' Berries as well as The Ivy League took alot from The Tokens style!

what was the connection between the Tokens and He's So Fine?

Dan from Peekskill:

Tony Bennett was hired to perform at the 50th Anniversary of the Society of Actuaries. I ended up sitting right near him and the band, unfortunately near some actuarial recruiters, but it was a joy. And much more appropriate than back when I worked for MONY (Mutual of New York) and the senior management wanted to hire Billy Idol for their meeting of general agents. The CEO had to be talked out of that one. However history tells us that Tommy James was looking out of his hotel window at the sign of this now defunct insurance company when he wrote his hit song.

@myron feld - There's lots wrong at the the R&R HoF. I put the continuing absence of Warren Zevon at the top of the list, especially when Linda Ronstadt got in singing his songs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:33pm
myron feld:

@Dan: I don't think Jeff Craig of LP Report is associated with the RRHOF. But given his accuracy, perhaps he should be! The whole thing is silly. But the attached museum has some cool stuff.

Dan from Peekskill:

I realize my comment on the HOF was aimed @Jon Graboff. Sorry.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:35pm
Dennis Diken:

indeed, the museum at the RnRHOF is INCREDIBLE! I saw The McCoys iconic bass drum head, Denny Wilson's early 60s Gretsch kit and Handsome Dick Manitoba's jacket as seen on Go Girl Crazy!

Well, at least I'll catch the last set.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
Dan from Peekskill:

And I loved the HoF. I was actually quite surprised how moved I was when I visited there, expecting a superficial display of celebrity memorabilia, but finding substantial meaning. Quite a place. My complaint is mostly with some of the inductees, both those who are included and those who have been ignored.
