Subject: Re: Bobby Jameson
Bobby Jameson's recording of "I'm So Lonely" on the Talamo label
is simply fantastic! I feel very fortunate to have it in my huge
record collection, which I began way back in the 1950's. Bobby
sang the song with a lot of angst. It was a dramatic kind of song.
I remember that he appeared on a show - most likely "American
Bandstand" - to perform, or perhaps I should say to lip-synch,
the song.

Subject: Hi! New to group
Hi, fellow music fanatics! I just discovered Spectropop about
five days ago. I have been reading through the archives, playing
catch-up. It is clear that this is a great group for those of us
who love 50's and 60's music, Spector's work, girl groups,
Beach Boys, etc.
Since many of you have listed some of your favorite songs, I
would take this opportunity to post a list of songs I love, but
there are so many songs I could put on a list like this that it
is hard to pare it down. Anyway, here are some songs I really
love to listen to:
"When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)" - Beach Boys
"All Strung Out" - Nino Tempo and April Stevens
"I Wanna Love Him So Bad" - Jellybeans
"A Banda" and "Casino Royale" - Herb Alpert and the TJB
"Keep In Touch" - Georgia Gibbs (a very sultry rendition)
"The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" - Jan and Dean
"Shades of Gray" - The Monkees
"Making Love From Memory" - Loretta Lynn (stunning song - on
MCA, I think)
"All I Really Want To Do" - Cher (very Byrds-like)
"Just You" - Sonny & Cher (gorgeous--Sonny was not the best
singer on earth, but on this song, his singing was very effective)
"Baby, I Love You" - Ronettes
"Twelve-Thirty" - Mamas & Papas
"Heaven Only Knows" - Shangri-las
"Is It True?" Brenda Lee ( a real rocker, not a c&w # at all)
"Faraway Star" - Chordettes
"Look Of Love" - Lesley Gore
"You Don't Own Me" - Lesley Gore
"(Won't You) Marry Me Again?" - April Stevens (on A&M)
"I Love How You Love Me" - Nino Tempo and April Stevens (the
combination of the great vocal harmonies and the very unusual
addition of the bagpipes really does work to create a fascinating
song)
"I Love How You Love Me" - Paris Sisters (very pretty, and so
different than the Tempo-Stevens version)
"Mr. Tambourine Man" - The Byrds
"All I See Is You" - Dusty Springfield (Anyone thinking she had
a limited vocal range needs to listen to this spectacular song.
It is very nearly operatic)

Mac Kissoon was, and indeed still is Katie's brother. He and I
sing together in the choir of the James Last Orchestra. Katie
sang with us there until very recently when obligations to the
likes of Eric Clapton & Robbie Williams got in the way.

"Oo-wee Baby" was released as a single in the UK, after "Move
Over Darling"; I remember it well. Is this a different version?
