I know of at least two other early Gibb Brothers songs recorded by
Young: "After Dark" and "I Am The World". He also did a good
version of the Easybeats' "Good Evening Girl".

Hi
A friend sent me an mp3 file of what appears to be Mick Jagger singing
Da doo ron ron. He got it from a friend who also got got it from a
friend etc...The voice of the singer really sounds like Mick's voice but
the quality of the recording is certainly not very good. Some sort of
bootleg, no doubt about it. Anybody knows anything about it?

Doug Gibbon? The same Doug Gibbons who recorded Jackie DeShannon / Jimmy
Page's "I got my tears to remind me" on Decca? Great record, great singer -
yes he does sound like Jagger!

One thing that needs to be added is that a lot of the programmes still
have their original commercials intact. I think the Shindig shows are
a case in point. It's been about 4 years since I've been there, but
what a terrific resource!
Recently I purchased a couple of bootlegs of old Hullaballoo programmes
(Shindig's competition, but a little more square and occassionally
showbizzy). Wonderful stuff and some of the later episodes are in colour.
Curiously though one episode introduces the Ronettes as a featured act on
the show but they never perform....at the end of the programme when it
comes to the Hullaballoo A Go Go segment they're seen dancing among the
'kids'. Does anyone know if they ever performed? Or maybe the number was
cut for legal purposes (like the Rolling Stones in TAMI show).

I went to the Museum Of Television And Radio, NY some 10 years back.
My first priority was to look for the Lucille Ball TV special from the
60's 'Lucy in London'. They didn't have it then, but they might now.
Just in case it needs explanation...it's important because we believe
the Ronettes did a song over the opening credits. I don't know anyone
who has this in any form. Maybe the next Spectropop member there could
check it out for us.

Boom 60,007 THE SHEEP - I Feel Good/Dynamite
"I Feel Good" reached #32 on WQAM in Miami on May 28, 1966.
Former WQAM d.j. Roby Yonge told me "Hide & Seek" by the Sheep was
a "play for pay" tune at the station, if you know what I mean.
