Question for Al Kooper, or anyone who can help.
Hey Al, my pal Tony at Ace Records, having finished work on the
new Howard Tate CD (there, that got your attention!), just called
in the hope that I could help him some on his latest project, the
sleevenotes for a forthcoming Gene Pitney CD. He was after some
background info on the songwriter Fred Anisfield.
All I could tell him was that Fred wrote many excellent songs,
several of which, like "Backstage" and "Where Did the Magic Go",
were recorded by Gene Pitney. Ruby & the Romantics cut "Does He
Really Care For Me" and "We'll Meet Again" (no, Dame Vera fans,
not that song!), two more top of the range Anisfield co-writes.
As you were both supplying songs for Pitney, and others in the
Aaron Schroeder stable, I was wondering if you ever crossed
paths with Fred? I heard he worked on the road as Gene's music
director. Can you verify that? Any stories you'd care to share?
Btw, as you seem such a fan of Baby Jane & the Rockabyes (aka
Henrietta & the Hairdooz), I thought I'd check that you knew
that, thanks to girl group maven John Clemente, the outfit have
their own page here at S'pop. Well, they *would*, wouldn't they?
