Hi Jan, Mick
Very interesting - I've been trying to research the Detroit based
Marquee label which issued some Buena Vistas singles.
There's some sort of tie-in with the final version of the Rockin'
Rebels on Swan as some of the Rockin' Rebels final Swan sides are co-
written by Nick Ameno and Carl Cisco who seems to be members of the
Buena Vistas.
There's also a tie-in with The LaSalles who had one single on Motown's
VIP label "La La La La La" / "This Is True" - the b-side was
produced by Carl Cisco, the A-side was a Clarence Paul production
of a song he'd earlier recorded on Stevie Wonder.
There's also a LaSalle label which seems to be a subsidiary of
Marquee.
Does anyone have a lineup for the Buena Vistas ?

Ron, would you email me that file directly? I can't download fast enough on my
dialup modem to complete the job before yahoogroups cuts me off.
thanks,

Subject: Re: KATHY LYNN vs CATHY LYNN
Hi,
KATHY LYNN, real name Kathleen Mary Keppen according to BMI,
co-wrote numerous songs for Kathy Lynn & the Playboys and the
Buena Vistas, actually the same group. Most of her compositions
were in partnership with fellow group members Carl Cisco and
David Nicholas Ameno.
Marsha Brody's producer CATHY LYNN, real name Cathy Faust
according to BMI, was a prolific songwriter. None of her songs
were cut by Kathy Lynn & the Playboys or the Buena Vistas, and
she wrote none with members of those groups. However, she does
warrant some coverage on Spectropop, having composed such famous
hits as "The Angels Listened In", #22 on the Hot 100 in 1959 for
the Crests, the Chordettes' 1957 top-tenner "Just Between You And
Me" and "The Shape I'm In" by dreamboat teenage muscleman Johnny
Restivo. Cathy penned numbers with such big names as Phil "Twist
& Shout" Medley and Otis Blackwell.
My conclusion is that Kathy Lynn and Cathy Lynn are two different
persons.

Are you refering to the Gerry & The Pacemakers hit
(Marsden wrote that one, according to my LP label)
or a different song with the same title?

Subject: The Covers Project
If you didn't get a chance to hear the NPR story, a fellow named Chris has
built a website for logging and tracking the "cover" versions of all songs -
to create giant chains of cover versions from one artist to the next (in the
vein of Seven Degrees of Separation).
His site is at http://www.coversproject.com and seemed like a natural port of
interest for Spectropoppin' daddies. A lot of current artists are
represented; let's help him make sure the 60s are well represented.

Just back from vacation - not at all caught up, but this from Jennifer
Sharpe leapt out at me in the inbox, and since it has "time value," I
thought some of you might be interested:

reply:
> Didn't Gerry Marsden compose " Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" ?
Bobby Darin wrote " I'll Be There".
Needless to say, although Gerry had the hit, Bobby's version is brilliant!

I'm surprised. I thought Joe Greene wrote that.

Subject: Bernadette Carroll "The Hero"
Two things: When was "The Hero" by Bernadette Carroll released, and
did it get any airplay? I just heard it for the first time on
Spectropop GG Radio at Live 365 and laughed myself silly. Was she
trying to act so badly? She almost sounds happy to see Johnny
dead! "Oh no, Johnny, no" Boo-hoo! I'm trying to figure out if this
was a genuine attempt at Shangri-las style teenage heartbreak or
something recorded as a joke.
Also, I see that GG radio is under Billy J's account. Does Spectropop
collectively own this and the main radio station? I was reading that
new fees were coming into effect starting Aug. 2 and I'm wondering if
you need financial help to cover the new $5/month charge to all
accounts.
Will : )

Subject: Doris Day: The 1960s Singles
Just a quick note to highly recommend the new Collectables realease, "Doris
Day: The 1960s Singles".
What a treat for Spectropop fans! The highlight is the wonderful arrangement
of "Move Over Darling" by Jack Nitzsche. Jack also arranged 3 other cuts on
the CD including "Twinkle Lullaby", "Rainbow's End" and a highly enjoyable
Mann-Weill song "Let the Little Girl Limbo" that has never been issued.
Other interesting cuts include "Falling" co-written by Bruce Johnstown as well
as a Bacharach-David movie tune, "Send Me No Flowers" as well as another
unreleased Mann-Weill tune "Oo-Wee Baby". I'm sure Terry Melcher probably
produced some of these cuts. There are no producer credits ... just who handled
the arrangements. Other nice cuts include "Anyway the Wind Blows", "Please
Don't Eat the Daisies", "Do Not Disturb" and others.

Yes, this is brand new from Peter Jones Productions. A company with
which I am associated, Producers Library Service, supplied recently
discovered, never before seen perfomance and backstage footage of J&D
to the production. Also new is the E True Hollywood Story tonight
(the 7th), a two hour Beach Boys docu. I am not certain whether Brian
Gari is a member of this list, but is familiar with it. He was a
consultant for the production, conducted some of the interviews AND
music from his brand new , first-rate Brian Gari Sings Brian Wilson
is heard on the soundtrack.
