Subject: Re: Rosetta Hightower
I've been checking back through the digests and have been amazed to
find that Rosetta Hightower is still making the odd appearance.
Apparently she appeared at The Rocket in North London last year.
Would love to hear from anyone who was there. Also, does anyone
know whether Rosetta is still making appearances?
Cheers
Ken

I've been checking out the archives on Spectropop and see that a
member called Martin has an unreleased song by Sunny called 'He's
Not There'. I'd love to hear this - any chance?
Cheers
Ken

Subject: Re: Smoke / October Country
I was lucky enough to pick both of these c.d.s up in a trade a while
back. The Smoke is on "Sidewalk" label and O.C. on "Epic". I have a
feeling the October Country was a needle drop copy but I am sure the
Smoke was at one time legit, though I believe long out of print. If
anyone would like, er, copies, contact me off-list.

Martin,
Are there any Dean Martin video tapes (legit or shady) which feature
Connie Francis as a guest? I'm sure that I've read somewhere that
on one show she did a song and dance routine called "Cute Little Mini
Skirt". Sounds dreadful. Have you seen it?
Best wishes,
David.

Hey la,
Yes, Jackie married an American millionaire, went to live in
the USA, and then unfortunately lost her voice. Barry St. John
told me this, so it's the gospel (ouch!).
Hey la,

Is the October Country re-issue really happening? I don't mean to be
cynical, but the The Smoke re-issue has been on the slate a few times
and never made it through. The reasons are never clear, though some
say it's a lack of agreement on one thing or another between Lloyd and
Sundazed. BTW Is there an online site that details Lloyd's efforts in
the 60's? The guy was on a hot streak, no doubt

Tonight on my radio show Treasure Island Oldies, live from
6 to 10 p.m. Pacific time, I will be interviewing Chad Allen,
the original lead singer of The Guess Who, whose career started
with their cover version of "Shakin' All Over". It will be
part of my salute to Canadian musicians and songwriters in
celebration of Canada Day July 1st. Chad will join me by phone
from his home in Vancouver just after 8 p.m. Pacific time.
If folks are unable to listen live, the show is archived for
later listening.
Cheers.

Sorry for the delay, I've been away, you know. In the hope
that your excitement has reached fever pitch, the winner of
this week's ROTW is Kari Lynn's "Summer Day" on Auburn:

Next week you can choose between two of Bob Marcucci's
boys. No, not Lou Christie but John Andrea and Bobby Jason.
On The Radio is playing the "Wall Of Sound" jingle:

Hi Ken,
You've blazed a trail of posts in a day! Of course, I'll
get in touch tomorrow. But it's Ian (our UK resident voice
expert you've got to thank for spotting it's Sunny.

Hi David (any friend of Malcolm Baumgart etc),
Sue's got a book that lists all the info for his TV shows.
I'll ask her to check for you,
Martin

Good to have you with us, Ken.
I used to have this record, but rather foolishly parted it
with it some years ago. However, I remember it very well.
Although their voices were still recognisable, the girls
sounded very young, slightly cutesy and less soulful than
they would on their later records. The production is a bit
sparse, but it's still an unusual little item that and one
that I should've held on to......was going through one of
those "clearing out" phases, I'm afraid. (Never again!!)
The flip, BTW, was a little Artie Wayne/Ben Raleigh song
called "Don't Wanna Cry Again". Artie, was there a U.S.
original of this?
