Manfred Mann's *was* the original - Love's was a cover version. The song
is actually a Bacharach/David song. Love were heavily influenced by the
soundtrack to WNP - compare Stephanie Knows Who to the title track...

Can anyone help me with the lyrics, chord progression

It was a hit here in Australia in 1968 (I think!).
Great song - a real cult classic.

Could you name the demos you sang on, if you can remember and can you give any
background as to your invitation to join the "New" 4 Seasons. Was this at a
time when Crewe and the Seasons had fallen out and if so, do you recall the
details to that falling out?
And what exactly did Doug Hawkins mean by Crewe's version of the Dawn album
being too hot!?
Questions, questions.

(the last one is the only non-Italian song - thanks to Phil M - I

Ever since I honeymooned in Italy in 1998, I've had a thing for 1960s
Italian music and movies. I love in particular how much they used
their pop music in their movies. When I was in Italy I picked up a
series of compilations called Italian Graffiti, which I have since
never seen listed anywhere. I now refer to the music from that time
period by that name.
My questions involve the following two songs:
Emilio Pericoli / Quando Quando Quando
Dino / Eravamo Amici
Does anyone have any information on these two songs? Quando Quando
Quando is used liberally in the movie Il Sorpasso (The Easy Life -
1962), but I know not a thing about the history of this song, except
that it was recorded by many. The Dino songs has a tremendous
production, which I'm guessing was done by Ennio Morricone. The
melody sounds really familiar though and I'm left wondering if it's a
cover of a spectropop tune.

Subject: Charlie Gracie and Dee Dee Sharp added to Diane Renay radio show
I'm delighted to announce that there have been two last-minute additions to
tomorrow's (Thursday, May 22nd) three-hour "Diane Renay and Friends" radio
interview special.
They are Charlie Gracie and Dee Dee Sharp. Both recorded for Cameo Records.
Charlie had a 1957 smash "Butterfly" and followed that up very successfully
with "Fabulous." Actually his appearance came about because Charlie's son
heard about the show through some channel and then contacted Diane personally
to say that his dad wanted to be a part of it! Charlie Gracie, like Diane, is
originally from Philadelphia and was the very first hit recording act on the
Cameo-Parkway group of labels.
As noted above the show is THIS THURSDAY -- MAY 22ND -- (which is either
tomorrow or today depending when you read this!).
The time of the show is 7 PM to 10 PM Eastern time.
I'll be doing it LIVE (which means no retakes!) and therefore it might at
times be unpredictable. I know there will be many surprises and I can tell
you that not all of them will be planned!
I'll be doing this show from the WBCB (1490-AM, Fairless
Hills, PA) studios and it will be heard locally on that station
and simulcast nationally and internationally on the World Wide
Web via the WBCB1490 website.
The URL for listening to the show is:
http://www.wbcb1490.com/listen.htm
Here's the complete list of guests as it stands now -- and I THINK this is
finally "carved in stone"!
Bobby Vee
Lou Christie
Bobby Goldsboro
Sue Thompson
Paul Petersen
Dee Dee Sharp
Johnny Tillotson
Peggy March
Bobby "Boris" Pickett
Charlie Gracie
Terry Fischer (lead singer of the Murmaids)
Barbara Harris (lead singer of the Toys)
Eddie Rambeau (co-writer of "Navy Blue")
Gerry Granahan (one of Diane's producers)
Artie Singer (Diane's first vocal teacher)
As I mentioned a couple of days ago most of the recording artists above, in
addition to reminiscing and conveying personal greetings to Diane, will share
with us
the stories behind their single biggest hits.
..... PLUS .....
There will also be a TOP-SECRET VERY SPECIAL SURPRISE GUEST who
will be appearing live-by-phone with Diane and me during the final
hour of the show! Nobody in the world knows about this except me
and this particular guest!
A few of you have privately e-mailed me and asked if I would reveal "just to
me" the identify of our mystery guest or at least give a clue. But I am
absolutely SWORN TO SECRECY and MY LIPS ARE SEALED. To all of you for now I
will simply say that some time after 9 PM Eastern time you will all find out
who this mysterious individual is!
Because of the nature of the show we won't be able to take listener phone
calls. However if any of you have a question that you'd like me to ask Diane
or a message you'd like me to convey to her during the show please e-mail me
privately at RonnieOldiesGuy@aol.com. I will use as many as I can.
As I mentioned when I posted my original message I cannot accept questions
for any of Diane's "friends" on the night of the show because all of them
have been pre-recorded.
Again I thank all of you for your interest in this upcoming show.
Hopefully, with your support, there will be many similar shows in the future.
I suggest that we all do whatever can to keep this wonderful music and the
associated memories ALIVE AND WELL!!!

Subject: Heaven Sent Jingle
I'm looking for an mp3 copy of the jingle for "Heaven Sent"
frangrance that was popular in the mid to late 60's. I used to hear
it a lot on WABC and WLS. Not a politically correct jingle, here are
some of the lyrics:
"Suddenly, you are all of the things that he wants you to be,
A little bit naughty but heavenly,
With Heaven Sent, Heaven Sent..."
I did a search on google and found a link claiming Paul Simon wrote
this jingle. Can anyone help with info or audio?

I heard Burt interviewed somewhat recently, and he said he didn't much
care for the rock n roll treatments of his "Little Red Book". I am not
familiar with non-"beat" versions of that tune, and can't imagine what
it would sound like without a hard rock sound...who did the first version?
> Bill said the guy wasn't ever going to make it.
> It was Tom Jones!
Tom has a rep as a real ladies man, what with the hyper-masculine
presence he has on stage, and he was certainly the "Welsh Elvis" for a
while there, even inspiring The King to develop his own version of the
Tom Jones' stage style when Elvis got back to live performances in the
late 60's. B-movie goddess Mamie Van Doren has a hilarious "expose" of
her rendezvous with Mr. Jones on her website if you want to check it
out...according to her story, Tom is...how shall I put it..."all hat and
no cowboy".
The other Tom Jones story I read was when he was rehearsing a package
show that the Beatles were performing on. When John Lennon saw Tom, he
went into a spastic parody of "It's Not Unusual" substituting his own
lyrics: "It's not an elephant it's a unicorn...", and then yelling
"How's it going, ya Welsh poof?" Jones was thoroughly annoyed, to the
point where he was considering giving Lennon a good thumping for his
troubles...someone took Jones aside and said "that's just his sense of
humor", to which Tom replied "I'll give him sense of humor, that scouse git".

Having for some reason unknown to me just purchased

was called "Greatest Hits"? (I won't ask who had the
first "Greatest Hits Vol.3," composed of 2 b-sides and
10 other cuts considered too weak for an LP that no
one would release at the time.) Tom Taber

Subject: Anyone know who this was?
Nik Archer's mention of the old "Heaven Sent" jingle reminds me of a question
that I have, anybody know who did an MOR record called (??) Don't Go Breakin'
My Heart circa 1965 or 1966......piano break sounds a little like Sounds
Orchestral (could it be Ms. Shelby Flint?!) No, not the Elton John-Kiki Dee
monster from 1976, this is a rather pretty ditty. I once looked in a Hit Parade
book; apparently the recording never got into the Top Ten easy listening
charts. But I remember it fondly and I've always wondered--Sandie Shaw? Sandy
Posey? Bobbi Martin? Shelley Fabares? Lana Cantrell? Dusty? Jackie? (Am I
anywhere near the Right Track?!) Bobster

While the very idea of Sandy Posey backed by Sounds Orchestral
is almost too delicious to withstand, the chances are that the
record you so fondly recall is "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by
Burt Bacharach, a track from his "Hit Maker!" LP of 1965 (Kapp
3428) also released as a single (Kapp 657). The vocalists on the
record were the three and only BREAKAWAYS. The A-side of the
single, "Trains & Boats & Planes", was a #4 hit in the UK. Alas,
the Breakaways' name was nowhere to be found on the single or
the album.

That's a Bacharach and David song is it not? Included on his
"Hit Maker!" album and probably recorded by hundreds of artists.
You're right, it's a really pretty little song.

Bob,
Dionne Warwick did a Bacharach/David song of that name on the
back of "Trains & Boats & Planes" here in the UK, a quality
number that should have been an "A" side. Bacharach probably
did a version with his "orchestra & chorus" at some point.
I'm not playing it to musica as I think it's out on one of the
myriad of Bacharach compilations available.

I'm wondering if you heard the version by Astrud Gilberto on
Verve. BTW, that song was recently covered by The Wondermints
on a Bacharach tribute CD from--oh--about 98 or so. "One drop
of rain doesn't make a flower grow." Or thereabouts.

How about the intro to Todd Rundgren's Nazz's "Open My Eyes"
