Sign me up! I hope the Smile tour does come to the US, too - all
those raves from our UK friends have made me jealous!
I'm off to Hawaii for a couple of weeks - no computer, so I'll be
back to being behind again - the story of my life! :-) (Please,
no "large files" until May 3rd so that my inbox doesn't choke!)
Happy springtime, everyone; stay happy!
Mahalo,
Country Paul

I wasn't aware the group had more than the one single, but I jut got
their "Make Us One / Strength To Carry On" 45 off eBay - produced by
Mike Rashkkow & Ellie Greenwich. Maybe if Mike reads this he can
recall the names. The songs are credited to Fuzzy Bunnies Music Co.,
ASCAP - which ASCAP has no online record of, but the writers are
John Turi - Alden Foote - Roger Valdez. Could these be any of the
members?

Yes those are three of the members, Turi was keys, Valdez was drums and
vocals, Foote (aka Chuck Alden) was guitar and vocals--the fourth member
Robbie? something was bass and vocals. They produced this one
themselves with us sitting in the control room--each of us glaring at
the other through the glass. Not fun.
Di la,
Rashkovsky

Subject: Obscure girl group records
Phil Milstein's fave obscure girl group records:
> The Bittersweets: The Hurtin' Kind
> The Lovelites: When I Get Scared
> Terry & The Tunisians: Tom Tom
> The Satisfactions: Daddy You Just Gotta Let Him In
> The Tammys: Egyptian Shumba
The only one I know is The Satisfactions which I only own because
it was written at the publisher I was signed with back then. You
must have a twisted sense of humor to announce owning the story
of a gal who brings a Hells Angel home to meet her parents. One
can't begin to wonder what The Lovelites are scared about....
Al Kooper & his 45s

How do you come to know this stuff, Fred? Are you Stan Ziska's cousin?
I remember Stan Ziska quite well. Couldn't remember his name without
you though. I have a Laurie and a Columbia single. One is "Who Cares"
and the other is "Feelin' No Pain" I think. I met them at the Dion
session for "Love Came To Me". Nice lads!

The Lovelites weren't afraid of much. They only released one
record, but it sure was a good one: "(When) I Get Scared",
written and produced by Peter Anders and Vincent Poncia, and
released on Phil Spector's Phi-Dan label in 1966. The trio - who
took their name from a Supremes record - were mentored by the
legendary Doc Pomus, who hooked them up with Spector. Lead singer
Joanna DeClemente became Mrs Poncia. Louise Robbins-Posnick is an
S'pop member, and Linnie Stern attended the S'pop live Shindig in
New York last summer. "(When) I Get Scared" is playing now @
musica: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/spectropop/files/musica/
The full story of the Lovelites, including some great pictures,
is available on the group's own S'pop page. To access, just click

Subject: S'pop Remembers
Dear Members,
Every so often it is the sad duty of the Team to update the S'pop
Remembers section. Timi Yuro, Niki Sullivan, Paul Atkinson,
Estelle Axton and Johnny Bristol are the latest deceased heroes
and heroines to be added.
