Subject: whither Ringo

Was I hallucinating, or did I really see Ringo Starr hawking one of 
those dime-a-dozen "The Best Of The Golden Oldies" collections on a 
cheeseball infomercial -- the kind where, after delivering a brief intro, 
the star turns the rest of the show over to "my good friend Mr. Someone 
You've Never Heard Of Before" -- the other night? That is far more typically 
the province of the likes of a Davy Jones, who often seems hard-up to 
make a buck, and it actually concerned me to consider that dear Ringo 
might be in the same boat as that.

Kind of sadly,

Kinda sad, replying to my own messages, but someone who has the 45
tells me it was produced by Vini Poncia, as a 'Map City Production'. 
That will ring a bell to those who saw earlier threads here about 
Map City, the label formed by Anders & Poncia, I believe in '69.

That's interesting, don't you think? Yes, Lyn, it certainly is.

Subject: Re: late-period Rascals

The Rascals could have resuscitated their career pretty quickly, 
but a silly decision by the band members did them in.

I interviewed Dino Danelli and Gene Cornish a number of years 
ago, just prior to the Rascals reunion (1987 or so I believe). The 
interview was done in a Japanese restaurant in New York City, and 
the drinks were flowing pretty well that night (I don't drink at all, 
so my recollection is vivid).

Both Danelli and Cornish told me that the band had been approached 
by the promoters of Woodstock and asked to perform at the festival. 
They were among the first of the performers to be asked. According 
to both musicians, the band thought over the invite, then, to a man, 
decided that playing in the "cow pasture" would do nothing for their 
careers. Cornish told me that the thought of mud turned them all off.

The rest is history, and The Rascals rested in peace (at least in 
popularity) after that misguided decision. Both musicians told me 
that in hindsight it was probably the stupidest decision that they 
had collectively made as a band. It would have opened them up to 
a new audience, but at the time they could not see the forest for 
the mud.

For those of you interested in jazzy pop singers, tune in Friday night
(5/6/05) between 6-7PM EST at 90.3 FM in the Boston area, or online at
http://www.wzbc.org for a full hour of incredible music by Blossom Dearie.

Blossom Dearie has been recording since the 1950s, recording for the
Verve, Fontana, and Daffodil labels (Daffodil is her own label),
amongst others, and she still performs in New York City. Her albums
have been getting reissued lately, though some of them still remain
out of print, and I will try to spotlight her music from the 50s up
until the 1970s.

Great video. Thanks, good to get a chance to see it. You can barely 
spot Gene through all the smoke -- it looks like the joint was on fire! 
I also saw a couple of Dean Martin/Sinatra clips from a similar vintage 
the other day. They're smoking up a storm in every scene and looking 
mighty cool -- almost made me want to run and get a pack. After hearing 
Gene's "Another Tear Falls" I wondered if maybe the other Gene, Pitney, 
had ever recorded it? It would've been perfect for him, given his range 
and the song's mini-operatic ending.

One of the fun obscure records in my collection is a release on Marion 
Records: "Down From No.9" b/w "When I Was Younger," by the Arkay IV with 
Bill Adleff. The label reads "Recorded at Gateway Studios, Pittsburgh." 
There is no label number.

Was this record a local hit back East? Anyone have any info about the 
group?

Not entirely sure how serious this question is. You do know, don't

Colton? To quote her autobiography "High Times, Hard Times": "In

Alan, let me be one of the 100 responses (that are being written 
as I write), welcoming you to Spectropop!  Artie, keep 'em coming!

"Undercover Angel" sits in my faves. I really like the long LP
version too. I listened to your new version on your website, and 
you still have the voice, altho I'm not into the more "rap" version 
performed there. Also really liked "Started out Dancing" as a 
follow-up. I was surprised when it didn't become a hit. I know the
 original version of "Rock & Roll Heaven" by Climax didn't sell, but 
the re-do by the R Brothers was a really great rendition. I think 
you got a little complex with the lyrics on the Climax version and 
that may have made it suffer some. At the same time, it was probably 
more meaningful than the hit version.  The simplification of things 
and the big production served the RB well in revamping it.

I liked Bobby Sherman's "The Drum" for the happy feeling it gave.  
I still remember PAMS jingle company producing a set of jingles 
at that time called "Pop Tops".  I wonder if writers got any money 
from these.  These jingles were basically PAMS singers singing 
opening lyrics before the singing began on the actual record.  
They would have one line customized for a station that subscribed 
to the set. The one for Bobby's went (while the opening trumpet 
intro was rolling) "Come to Omaha, Beat the drum on K-O-I-L" and 
then right into Bobby's vocal, all in keeping with the song beat.  
Neat idea, but only lasted a couple of months.

As I have oft commented on here, "Flashback" is one of my Fave 5D 
tracks!  Why it did not bring them back to the top 10 is one of 
many music mysteries.  Thanks to Michael thom for playing Anka's 
version to Musica, but it could not hold a candle to the 5D.  
On your website, I saw you wrote "Easy Evil", but don't mention 
John Kay as one of the over 50 versions.  To me, it is THE version 
I ever think of.  They played that record to death around the 
midwest and it lasted for some 5 months around here.  Reached #1 
on KCRG in Cedar Rapids, Iowa ta boot.  Once again, a great 
follow-up (to "I'm Movin' On") that got lost in the shuffle 
somehow. In 1971, I wrote a school paper reviewing Three Dog 
Night's "Naturally" in which I described "Heavy Church" as "the 
best good old rock 'n roll gospel song" on the LP. That album got 
played on the Besch turntables (I have 3 brothers) like crazy.  
Too bad they didn't lift the song for at least a "B" side to get 
you some more money.  Our own SPopper, Alan Gordon, got his 3 Dog 
song "Celebrate" into stardom thru the group.  

"Angie baby" and "Train of Thought" were kinda strange songs for 
these artists, I thought.  I hope you consider this a compliment, 
but some of your writing reminds me of some of the great 70s ideas 
for songs that Rupert Holmes came up with.  His songs like "Morning 
Man", "The End" and "Him" seem like songs you could have come up 
with also. Did you ever write together?  You should have!

Recently, we were discussing the Lewis & Clarke expedition on Spop.  
I mentioned to someone that Boomer Castleman's 1975 hit, "Judy Mae", 
seemed like a cross between "Angie baby" and "The Night the Lights 
went Out in Georgia".  Remember the song?  It came out a year after 
"Angie baby".  Wonder if your song influenced the writing of that 
hit.

Lastly, you mentioned in an article that you recorded for a group 
called the Turtles in the pre-White Whale Turtles era (in other 
words, a different Turtles group).  I think you said the 45 was on 
Dunhill?  The B side was a PF Sloan song.  Do you remember what 
song you recorded by him.  He's a fave writer of many here.
Get ready for a SPop barrage of greetings.  To quote one of your 
songs....."Hear Them!"

> WOULD NOT DIE!

The group, or at least their label, seems to have contributed to 
that fact as much as anyone else. How else to explain "Louie Louie 
64-65-66"? That type of title -- the name of a past hit, followed 
by a date -- usually indicates a re-recording, for instance with 
Del Shannon's "Runaway '67," but in this case a buyer who thought 
he had a new version of a beloved classic would find nothing more 
than a straight reissue of that record.

Another Kingsmen mystery involves the instrumental "Bent Scepter." 
I'd had this record for years, and assumed that its title was a 
dig at the parent company of their label, Wand, based on years of 
perceived injustices. But now, looking over their discography, I 
see that it was in fact only their second release under Florence 
Greenberg, the next one after "Louie." Did The Kingsmen feel she 
had engaged in some creative bookkeepping, or something along those 
lines? It might be telling that its topside was a cover of "Money."

[UPDATE: Since writing the above, on Clark's recommendation I 
visited http://www.lancerecords.com - While I haven't yet found 
the interview he mentioned, with Kingsmen drummer Billy Truett, 
coincidentally I did find a fascinating one with their original 
singer, Jack Ely. Included amid a slew of amazing stories -- among 
them the religious subtext of the group's name; watching Gary Lewis 
scrub floors with a toothbrush while both were in the Army; and the 
fact that Ely was the original lead singer of Don & The Goodtimes -- 
but also the likely answer to my own question:

JE: We recorded "Louie, Louie" to be a hit, which it was, and we 
needed something that we wrote for the flip side. So we threw on 
this little ditty Don [Gallucci - keyboards] and I had been working 
on, just so we could get the writers’ royalties, which we never got 
(but that's another story). ... [Lynn Easton's] name was printed on 
the label for writing "Haunted Castle" and who knows whether or not 
he ever got any money. At the time of the recording, nobody in the 
band was affiliated with any organization. To my knowledge, The 
Kingsmen received one royalty check for "Louie, Louie" and the 
monies were so fragmented by all the comings and goings of personnel 
that there was hardly a cent for anyone.]

Finally, at what point did The Kingsmen's contract migrate from 
Jerry Dennon to Florence Greenberg? Did she buy it outright from 
him at the time of "Louie"? If so, perhaps their complaint was 
something to do with that.

Yes starting in 67 The Rascals did go "hippie" and it would it would 
have been hard to confuse their look or sound  to that of the teen 
pop idols of the early 60's. They were after all "Groovin" and "It's 
Wonderful" was a nice slice of psyche pop. Their garb was as love 
bead heavy as that of any band and their hair and beards were getting 
longer and longer. By the time of the 1971 double album "Peaceful 
World" (which was aimed squarely at the FM market) they had fully 
succumbed to peace, love and understanding vibe.

In a way they made the transition a little more smoothly and
successfully than the Beach Boys.

A gig in which Barry is captured in all his glorious Nehru-jacketed
splendor during Jackie's appearance (and chat) on Hugh Hefner's "Playboy
After Dark" TV program. I believe Playboy's cable channel has rerun some
of the PAD episodes, allowing the one featuring Jackie w/ Barry, along
with many other exciting performances (including The Byrds post-Gram
Parsons; Sir Douglas Quintet in their "Mendocino" phase; James Brown
around the time of "World"; Marvin Gaye; Cowsills during their "IIxII"
period; Grateful Dead, who were rarely televised at the time; Sonny &
Cher at the dawn of their Vegas phase; etc., etc.), to gain new life in
pass-around VHS form. Among other unique factors, all the musical acts
on PAD played live, and as well many of the bookings were of acts not
already on the typical music-on-TV treadmill of the day. Well worth
seeking out.

I hear ya, Scott. Just to make my point clear, though, it was in the
following company that Stigwood's name stuck out like a sore, unmusical thumb.

Tony Hatch
Joe Meek
George Martin
Shel Talmy
Andrew Loog Oldham
Mike Leander
Mark Wirtz
Ivor Raymonde
Charles Blackwell
Burt Bacharach
Bert Berns

By the way, I once saw a Phil Spector interview that went into some
detail of his having coined the word "producer" (in the music recording
context, that is), and quite deliberately so at that. Usually such terms
occur more or less organically*, so I found it interesting that not only
did the term get applied in this case so knowingly, but also that it was
done so by the acknowledged master of the form.

Best,

*Another exception would be Jerry Wexler's coinage of "rhythm and blues."

I've posted "Love Me" to my Probe site (link below). It's from a
cassette, so please allow for a bit of muffle and distortion, but 
is still quite listenable, and while not quite as fun a record as
"Bedazzled" (perhaps due to the absence of The Breakaways) remains 
a real strong track.

Mr. Blavat actually played Kathy Kirby's "The Way of Love" 
during the lunch time show. Never heard her before.

I believe this was near the very end when they veered into jazz 
with Island of Real and Peaceful World when it was just down to 
Felix Cavilierre , Dino Dinelli, and Buzzy Feiten had just joined 
on lead guitar.

I picked up In Arts 104 at Beverly Records last year, "Little 
Brother" by Stormie and Sunnie. Osborne doesn't list it as a 
collectible 45, but it's nice twee pop from '67, with sweet, 
if somewhat familiar harmonies. I'd never seen the label 
before, nice orange-yellow pastel design, out of Hollywood, 
Calif. if I'm not mistaken.
