DEWEY'S RECORD PARTY!

[Dewey1960]

Let’s ease our way into our Tuesday, shall we? Dulcet tones all over
the Record Party this morning…
BLOSSOM DEARIE “Put On A Happy Face”
[youtube][/youtube]
JILL COREY “Get Happy”
[youtube][/youtube]
BEVERLY KENNEY “Tea For Two”
[youtube][/youtube]
JACKIE & ROY “Glasses and Ashes” (Dewey’s song of the day!!)
[youtube][/youtube]

Dewey, can we step back to the Lennon/McCartney songs of their early days? An important one was left out:

Cilla Black (love the hair and the dress!!) It's For You (watch the whole thing and see some surprise guests)
[youtube][/youtube]

[Dewey1960]

Thanks for the Cilla Black bonus track, DJ Judith; that's a tune that
seems to have slipped through the cracks---much groovier than
"You're My World." Here's another UK band that scored with a tune
penned by Lennon & McCartney...
GERRY & THE PACEMAKERS "How Do You Do It?"
[youtube][/youtube]
This popular UK combo charted over there in '66 with this "Revolver"
cover, but got nowhere with it in the states
CLIFF BENNETT & THE REBEL ROUSERS "Got To Get You Into My Life"
[youtube][/youtube]

[Dewey1960]

Last night’s guests, JACKIE & ROY proved to be such crowd-
pleasers we decided to have ‘em back to the Record Party,,,
And if you haven’t sampled “Glasses And Ashes” (see above)
What are you waiting for!!
Here they are with “Samba Triste”
[youtube][/youtube]
And now doing The Beatles’ “The Word” These kids were the hippest!
[youtube][/youtube]

Like the song says: Other guys imitate us/But the original is still the greatest. (As you listen to this, try not to think of Buddy Holly.)

The Beatles: How Do You Do It?

Speaking of Buddy Holly, I do believe these fellows were paying
an homage with their name…Here are The HOLLIES singing my
three fave-o-rite tunes.

“I’m Alive” (first Power Pop record?)
[youtube][/youtube]

“Look Through Any Window” (with special intro just for Judith)
[youtube][/youtube]

“I Can’t Let Go” (thanks to Evie Sands)
[youtube][/youtube]

[jdb1]

Oooh, Frankie Avalon. Thanks ChiO. Here he is with his big hit, Venus
[youtube][/youtube]


Here's Frankie's fellow Philadelphian, Fabian (Fabian Forte)
Turn Me Loose ("Turn Muh Loose, Turn Muh Loose" as we used to sing it)

[youtube][/youtube]

Thought I'd toss in a few tunes written by the "Quiet" Beatle:

Badge (co-written with Mr. Clapton, of course)
[youtube][/youtube]

Sour Milk Sea (Jackie Lomax)
[youtube][/youtube]

If Not For You (George and some other guy)
[youtube][/youtube]

"Pirate Bob"
[youtube][/youtube]

[Dewey1960]

One final fling at a couple more Record Party Fab Four covers...
DEL SHANNON had a hit on the U.S. charts with "From Me To You"
a full year before the Beatles came ashore with it in 1964...
[youtube][/youtube]
SILKIE snagged "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" off the Rubber
Soul LP and had a fair-sized hit for themselves...
[youtube][/youtube]

[Dewey1960]

Another Saturday morning breakfast club session! Some of our
most favorite thrushes have flocked to the Record Party to show
off the good stuff!
MARLENA SHAW “Go Away Little Boy”
[youtube][/youtube]
JEAN CARNE “Higher Ground”
[youtube][/youtube]
CHAKA KHAN “I’m Every Woman”
[youtube][/youtube]
DONNA SUMMER ‘On The Radio”
[youtube][/youtube]
JOCELYN BROWN “Somebody Else’s Guy”
[youtube][/youtube]

[Dewey1960]

Hey, in case anyone forgot...
THE JAMIES "Summertime, Summertime"
[youtube][/youtube]
EDDIE COCHRANE "Summertime Blues"
[youtube][/youtube]
MUNGO JERRY "In The Summertime"
[youtube][/youtube]

[jdb1]

ChiO - thanks for "It's Summertime." One of my favorite singles, ever. Adults in the musical know were quick to point out to us kids that the song is in the form of a medieval madrigal. Here's some more along those lines. The lyrics of this song are in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet (that's the name of the literary form). This track is a bit unusual --it's from a Beatles' 1969 studio session. The song was not used by the group, but George Harrison used it in his first solo album, "All Things Must Pass." And the song is called: All Things Must Pass.

Hey Dewey, you reminded me of one of my fave Chaka songs:

Clouds

Growing up, Sunday mornings at 11:30 meant only one thing....An Abbott and Costello movie on channel 11! Here are some of the tunes that helped make these films wonderful.

Andrew Sister’s in Buck Privates introducing that Boogie Woogie Bugler:

Ella(ah Ella), in Ride ‘em Cowboy. Tisket-a-Tasket

And a bit from the boys themselves. A bit of the “new math”, (which blew my nephew’s mind when I showed it to him)

With IRONMAN out there, the Record Party salutes tonight the
Super Hero who many of us turned to first after school and in comic
books. Faster than a speeding bullet…up in the sky…is it a bird?…
is it a plane? No, it’s…
