Subject: Shirley Spector
I just found the following message on the S'pop Public Bulletin
Board. I'm about to be incommunicado for a few days. Maybe our
resident Spector experts would like to discuss the message while
I'm away. If not, I'll want to know why not. :-)
> Phil Spector's older sister Shirley once managed a band called
> Kip Tyler and the Flips. They cut some great rockabilly sides
> for Ebb ("She's My Witch", "Rumble Rock"), Challenge ("Jungle
> Hop", Starla and others. Among the members where Sandy Nelson,
> Steve Douglas, Bruce Johnston and others. Questions, what became
> of Kip? What became of Shirley? Is that Shirley's voice on "Ooh
> Yeah Baby", the flip of "Jungle Hop". Did Phil have any input
> into their records (sure sounds like a wall of sound on "Rumble
> Rock"). Any info about the group, or the earlier group the
> Sleepwalkers that they grew out of? There's a good story in
> there somewhere, Kim Fowley might have been their roadie also.
