Calla Records certainly has a great track record label, especially considering it was run by Morris Levy's leg-breaker Nate McCalla.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:39pm
Gaylord Fields:

*great track record as a soul label
  2:40pm
Dudski:

@Joe B: That's what I was thinking, either Jackson or Grimes. This was 1971 so I'm going to guess Jackson. Isn't it funny how Hi Records always got that sound no matter which drummer they used.

for sure Dudski!

@myron feld: Quite true. And sometimes it's a prerequisite (outlaw country, gangsta rap).

there's another theme waiting to be exploited on WFMU - songs made by actual convicts. Merle Haggard ...

wow Gaylord, did not know that! amazing

ChrisB.:

Cool, Dennis! You’re playing the theme to The Sandy Becker show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:08pm
Gaylord Fields:

Yeah, Andy Paley found her while she was working in the Jet Propulsion Labs and made a chanteuse out of her. He was looking for someone who spoke French, and she fit the bill.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:09pm
Dennis Diken:

didn't know that either Gaylord, heh! yes indeed ChrisB.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:13pm
Dennis Diken:

hey, does anyone out there who grew up in the NYC area in the 50s/60s recall this bed music song "Life In NYC" by Monty Kelly? it was used on AM radio as a theme, maybe on Rambling With Gambling?
Avatar 3:14pm
Joe B:

spector did glom a credit on that one
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:15pm
Gaylord Fields:

I watched Clay Cole religiously as a tyke, but I don't recall Reparata. And I loved "That Happy Feeling" and am glad people remember it as Sandy Becker's theme. Similarly with Bert Kaempfert's "A Swingin' Safari" being the theme of the original Match Game.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:16pm
Gaylord Fields:

Haha! I anticipated where you were going!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:16pm
Dennis Diken:

Joe B - purportedly Phil S actually did contribute to the songs he gets credited on. anyone out there know?
  3:16pm
Nutley Sam:

I was gonna recommend Victoria to you and Gaylord. Great stuff!

Dennis Diken:

oh Gaylord, you "know me too well"!

Dennis Diken:

yes Nutley dude, thanks!

Mike Conroy:

Hey, thanks, Den!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:17pm
Dennis Diken:

Mike - credit where due!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:18pm
Gaylord Fields:

From what I understand, the primary songwriters would bring in the tune, and Phil would change things around enough to warrant the third credit by his reckoning, rather than merely slapping his name on it.
Avatar 3:18pm
Joe B:

@DD - ah, so it is not like those Morris Levy or Alan Freed songwriting credits!

Dennis Diken:

thanks Gaylord!! Joe B! dig your Silkie Matt! and thank you so much myron - high praise indeed!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:26pm
Gaylord Fields:

Is it Beatlemaniac blasphemy to say I prefer the Silkie's (Beatle-assisted) version a smidge more than the original?
  3:27pm
Nutley Sam:

I believe Gary's video for this features an accordion player
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:27pm
Matt Clarke:

@Gaylord: Love that electric riff in that one. I think played by Paul?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
Gaylord Fields:

And to answer your question from several belly laughs back, "Joueuse" is pronounced "zhooz" (rhymes with "shoes").
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
Dennis Diken:

Gaylord - it's totally haunting! I read on the interweb that John produced the session and saw a Mellotron for the first time at the studio (IBC) and ordered one toot sweet. George on tamborine, Macca on guitar
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:29pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Matt: That is correct. You couldn't keep Paul '65 off the six-string!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:29pm

@Gaylord: Shoutout to Paul's guitar credits on the back of Help! Bold baby!

Gaylord Fields:

This is a question I ask Beatlefans: If you could bring only one year's Beatles releases onto that proverbial desert island (1962–70 only, otherwise I'd choose whatever year comprehensive box sets come out), which would it be? Me, I hope the dart I throw at the dartboard hits 1965.

@Hackensack Slim: Janus currently administers AHDN with rights from Walter Shenson's estate, and TCM likely has a deal to air Janus films. No such distribution deal exists for Help!'s TV/cable broadcast (Criterion last had DVD/Blu-Ray distribution rights).
