kat330 Can I do what my wife does when I ask her a question and she answers with a completely different answer. It is nearly quarter past seven over here.
My firsts (I bought several 45s at once) were the Kinks and the Beau Brummels, but only because I didn't have any allowance / spending money until high school.
I've seen a lot of records in my time, including 78s -- but I've never seen an original recording by Doc Pomus. Reissue LPs, yes; original discs, never.
Great stuff! Always love hearing about native Brooklynite success stories. Nowadays in WBurg, Sharyn's crib incident would probably a misguided panini through the window!
@UM: Yeah, I found that out in my search, too, but Grass Roots was the familiar version.
@slater: Yeah, immediately I heard that "sha-la-la-la-la-la Live for Today" bit. :)
"In the United States, the Rokes version of "Let's Live for Today" found its way to the head of Dunhill Records, who felt that the song would make a suitable single release for The Grass Roots.[1] The composer/producer team of P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri, who managed The Grass Roots' recordings, were also enthusiastic about the song, with Sloan being particularly enamored with the similarities that the song's chorus had to The Drifters' "I Count the Tears"
I think Magic pretty much sums up this whole playlist, whether in the titles or not. This show certainly did not "disappoptimize." Thanks, Ted and Sharyn and ? was it Will? !! Sorry about the other guest's name, but thank you, too!
