Don't know if it's been posted yet, but Link Wray "Rumble" makes me want to hop in my Caddy, roll down the windows, and cruise realllllllll slow......
Reminded me of those days, with the Ventures. Duane Eddy, and the Shadows to name of few. Then throw in Cozy Cole with some drum solos.
This is DEFINITELY not off the forgotten tracks; Very popular back in the day ... "Tell Her No " by the Zombies But Here is a refreshing ( at least to me!) update in 2017...By a NEW artist. And YES, I AM in the 'Old F@<+ Club' Not as old as some, but older than a lot...
And for you purists out there ... A true classic " Rinky Dink "By Dave "baby" Cortez. with a kicker...The artist that does the pictures 'Shag' was BORN in 1962, the year this was topping the charts
Be My Baby --The Ronettes --Featuring Ronnie Bennett Spector the former wife of the producer and co-writer Phil Spector (Background dancers and choreography courtesy of Jason Cook)
She certainly was. Notice how many of the 'live shows', back then, were lip-synced. And I definitely noticed the dancers in white shirts and 'panties'.
Phil was such a weirdo, but developed triple dubbing for that "Wall of Sound" effect. Often imitated rarely duplicated. ws Just in case this stuff is of interest... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_Sound
As of late he is unable to speak due to pharangeal pappilomanitus (sp). What a career it mustve been before he got off! ws
Produced by WKBW' dj Tommy Shannon. Song was also incorporated into his theme song. WKBW was a powerhouse 50,000 watts station in Buffalo and could be heard up and down the entire East coast at night.
Down in Mexico --The Coasters (1956). The song was written and arranged by the fabulous duo of Lieber and Stoller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPLPtdhkVSs
The Coasters were great, made so many. The writers came up with so many catchy phrases. Like "you're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion" " Then things went bad , I met her Dad" I bet you know just which tunes I'm referring to! l
