Subject: Proof Of The Puddin'
During the recent discussion re: Jimmie Haskell's Capitol arrangements,
"Adonis" came up as one of the great ones. Joop verified that it was
written by George Goehring and Ed Warren. Rob Pingel and Gary Myers
thought it should've been a hit and that the writers must have been
frustrated by all the cover versions with no chart success.
Well, there is one George Goehring song that probably couldn't have been
a big hit, yet which I love for its audacity. I posted about it here
(message #27724; digest # 1823), and a nice e-mail recently about that
from a lady named Patty Glasson, which, with her permission, I'm passing
along for your reading:

Subject: Re: Neon Philharmonic (and more ?'s for Tupper Saussy)
It is interesting to hear Shaun Cassidy's take on "Morning Girl,
Later". Sure, most of the words are there, and so is the melody,
but by changing "Catherine's getting up" to "now you're getting up",
the whole meaning is altered, and both the bark and the bite of the
original have disappeared. If Cassidy had covered "The Last Time
I Saw Jacqueline" as well, I'm betting her picture would have been
the bookmark in his 16 Magazine, not his Hemingway. Not that there's
anything wrong with that. I just happen to like both bark and bite
with my Saussy.
I have several questions for Tupper Saussy, but do not wish to be
greedy. Skip, if you see this, I'll limit myself to three, and
sincerely hope that you can pass these on for me:
1. Who is the female vocalist on "The New Life Out There" and "Morning
Girl Later"?
2. Were you aware of Jimmy Webb's apocalyptic and ambitious "The Yard
Went On Forever", and was it an influence on what you were writing
for the Neon Philharmonic?
3. What are the lyrics after "And I'll think about the hours that we
spent among the flowers", during the middle section of "Brilliant
Colors"?
Speaking of that middle section, I had my own "Morning Girl" mega-mix
that I put together at my college radio station. The original "Morning
Girl" started it off, fading into that "Brilliant Colors" middle (the
"when she went away, it was as though she died" part) and concluding
with "Morning Girl, Later". Unfortunately the tape of this mix (on an
old 1970s radio cart) did not survive. When it went away, it was as
though it died.

Debate about whether the Rhino Girl Group Box Set compilation
includes rarities -- mention has been made of Jackie DeShannon's
"Dream Boy", which lay unreleased for over 30 years and has only
been found to date on the "What The World Needs Now" compilation

Jimmy Bee found a Bobby Rydell comp from 1963 that includes "My Coloring
Book." Are there a lot of male versions of this decidedly female song?
In my mind I can't hear Bobby Rydell singing this, but it must have been
an attempt to capitalize on the MOR success that Barbra Streisand (whose
version unfortunately overshadowed Sandy Stewart's and Kitty Kallen's
wonderful, heartbreaking renditions) had with the tune.

The list rolls on. Kathy Larkin recorded a version on Etiwanda 101, which
uses the very same backing tracks as the Terri Dean version. However, it
was titled "Johnny (Adonis)" and only gives credit to Goehring as the writer.
The opening lyric of "Johnny, Johnny is a lover" is different, too, but the
rest is basically the same.

Don't know if any LA folk remember this one, I don't. When checking
out my KFWB LA charts in the dawning of the 60's surf era, a baseball
song won the short term battle with the surfer song. The month
"Surfin' Safari" became the BBoys first #1 in LA (September 1, 1962),
another surf song hit the KFWB top 40 chart, "Bustin Surfboards" by
the Tornadoes debuting at #40 on September 29. The same week much
higher up, we saw "The Dodger Song" by Danny Kaye debut at an
amazingly high #17! It peaked at #6 the next week and dipped to #11
on October 13, dropping off the next week! Quite a 3 week run. A
quick check of google unveils the reason for the quick rise and
decline of the record. On September 29, when the song debuted, the
Los Angeles Dodgers had just won their 100th game of the new 162 game
season. Optimism was obviously high for the World Series. As the
song jumped to #6, on 10/3/62, the Dodgers played their last game of
the season (David Geddes, are you listening?). Finishing with 102
wins was reason to celebrate, one would think. That last game was a
loss to their west coast rivals, the San Francisco Giants. It was
the rubber game that would break the tie for the National League lead
and clinch the title for the 103 win Giants! The fans packed in "The
Dodger Song" and that was the end of the Danny Kaye hit. As fate
would have it, the hated Dodger rivals, the Giants, would meet their
own fate the same week as "The Dodger Song", as they were defeated in
game 7 of the World Series by the Yankees on 10/16/62. Oh yeah,
"Bustin' Surfboards" would go on to top "The Dodger Song", reaching
#2 on 10/27/62 with a long chart run. "And now you know the rest of
the story!"

I have practically everything written by Bacharach and David, and
consider "Promises, Promises" to be right at the top of their game.
Was blown away the first time I listened. One of the most amazing
and unusual Broadway soundtracks ever released. Sounds as good today
as it did in the late 60's.
Disagree strongly with the gentleman who doesn't think singing was
Jerry Orbach's forte. He could sing the phone book. These songs are
tough, and his performance is practically seamless. The nature of
his character called for a more "ordinary guy" type of delivery. You
might want to make a comparison with his other work, e.g. "The
Fantastics", to see what I mean. Or, try belting out "Half As Big As
Life" without losing your way within a verse or two.
Theatre critic of the New York Times, Clive Barnes, wrote in his
glowing December 2, 1968 review,
".....the kind of show where you feel more in the mood to send it a
congratulatory telegram than write a review. The cast was virtually
perfect. Mr. Orbach has the kind of wrists that look as though they
are about to lose their hands, and the kind of neck that seems to be
on nodding acquaintanceship with his head. He gangles. He also
sings most effectively, dances most occasionally, and acts with an
engaging and perfectly controlled sense of desparation."

To Bacharach and David - I have always been an admirer of "Lost
Horizon". As a matter of fact I have tried to find a way to get
permission for an amateur stage presentation of it in my area,
actually writing to the major Musical Theatre leasing companies for
a heads-up. To this point none have responded.
I enjoy staging the "less than successful" shows. I learn a lot from
them and carry a great deal of respect for them.
So far I have done stage adaptations of Liza's Minnelli's tv musical
"The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood" and a stage version of
Smokerises's "The Surival of St. Joan". I just received permission
from the Rodgers and Hammerstein Library to stage the first amateur
production of the 1967 tv musical "Androcles And The Lion" and would
love to stage "Lost Horizon" next year. Anyone know how I might be
able to track down permission.
Even Rod McKuen has responded regarding his "Black Eagle" double
concept album but a contact for "Lost Horizon" eludes. This show
needs a stage adaptation.

Thanks for that one, Mick -- a very nice version, of a song I usually
detest. I have to assume the producer is the same Tony Alamo as the
Western clothing designer-turned-cult guru (nee Bernie Lazar

True enough, and we haven't seen the full track listing yet, but it
is still availablke elsewhere. The Whyte Boots are also mentioned,
but I expect we'll be hearing "Nightmare" - available on the Growin'
Up Too Fast CD. In my opinion, if something's available elsewhere
that's still in print, it's not really rare or lost anymore. I'd be
much more interested in stuff that has either yet to make it to CD or
songs that have never been reissued from their original release.
There are only so many of these types of releases and it would be a
shame if they take a well-worn path. It's too much to expect tonnes
of previously unreleased material, but what disappoints me are
collections that simply collect songs available elsewhere, or only
offer one or two new treasures in addition to the regular best of
material (Motown, until recent years, was famous for this). I
certainly hope Rhino has gone the route of the British specialty
labels. I was excited to see that out of 120 songs, 107 artists are
represented. I just hope they give us some surprises. I'll buy it
anyway, but I'd be much happier about paying $65 for more than one or
two true rarities. I'm excited to see what Sheila Bergel has come up
with for liner notes, though. I sometimes get more pleasure out of
the liner notes on these comps then the tunes. And hopefully it will
sell well enough to convince them to do another collection al la the
Doo-Wop box.

British blue-eyed soulster Chris Farlowe made a good stab at My
Colouring Book in his 1960's album 14 Things To Think About. The song
suits his ballad style though he is better known for uptempo numbers.

http://www.smartvoter.org/2003/11/04/ca/mrn/school.html identifies one

7." I wonder if this is the same person as our featured artist?
