Does anyone know about Brenda and the Tabulations, who
they were and what's become of them. They were noted for
their ballad, "It Was Right on the Tip of My Tongue"....
Thanks!

Hi Brian,
The Ronettes recorded an lp for Colpix Records in the very
early 60s, before they went on to become a part of Phil
Spector`s wall of sound. The lp sound is very much the
order of the day, which was pretty much white wonderbread
blandness. Even though the Ronettes sing, there were hired
background/backup singers; here`s what Ronnie says from her
autobiography: "Estelle and Nedra shared another mic with
these two fat ladies, one black, one white. They sang like
they were the McGuire sisters or something, and I guess Stu
Phillips (producer) thought we needed them to fill out our
sound. We were just teenagers, and none of us had full,
church trained voices like so many of the other black
singers back then."
Later, Phil Spector let Ronnie sing from her soul which is
the voice we have all come to know and love, with that built
-in vibrato.
Hope this sheds some light on your question.

I have a track on tape from several years ago which I
believe originated from a bootleg J&D album which
contained an unissued track by a girl singer called Pixie,
entitled "I'm Dying To Give My Love To You" - supposedly a
Jan Berry production. It's a fabulous track, but the sound
quality on the tape I was given was appalling......it was
hard to make out the lyrics.
Has anyone got any info on this track? Was it ever made
available in a "cleaned-up" format?

I assume not all of us were born early enough to have
heard much radio in the 60s. When I first tuned in, the
record that stood out most for me was the Raspberries' "Go
All the Way." I remember thinking it couldn't be a new
record (in '72), because it sounded so 60s!
Anyway, I'm in love with too much music that came out long
before I started listening, to be able to choose "best
records" by how distinctive they sounded on the radio when
new.
Also, I'd probably make three somewhat different lists if
I were to name which records were (a) my favorite, (b) the
best, and (c) the most important. Some criteria would
overlap, for sure, but to me those ultimately are three
separate matters.

The listing should read "Life & Soul of the Party" by
Mally Page, and "I'm Tired Just Looking At You" by Tammy

We did do some Pet Clark things out here in LA in the 60s,
you're right about it being Hal Blaine and myself on those
dates, had forgotten it was with Nitzsche. I forget the
main hit we cut for her out here (not her most famous but
a good one anyway), it's on my website under bass hits.
Pet Clark was a lovely sharp lady and we had many nice
chats together, personal chats, she's the same in person.
And I did a lot of dates also for Riopelle, nice guy, ate
only meat and fruit (no vegetables), funny the things you
remember and yes, he was a very talented guy too, sort of
smallish slender guy (then). Nice person to work for at
Gold Star.
