Here's a damn catchy little dancer that has been getting numerous spins at the JBM household lately. Nice girl group sound, but guess what? They're not girls...
Great Song! Legend has it the sax player was a session guy that worked a lot of studio sessions in NYC. He got Florence Greenberg (Owner of Scepter/Wand Labels) to hear the kids (one of whom he was the father of) and they signed the group. The follow up was very much like sounding called "Like The Big Guys Do"... JBM hits some gems every now & then. Thanks Guyz! Mikelj
Well, no... BUT if you really want to impress me, come up with "Little White Lies" by The Motley Blues Band, also on Scepter. Can't seem to find that one anywhere. It was out around the time "Winchester Cathedral" was popular and I believe intended as an absurd put-on of it. It did get some airplay though.
Hey JBM, I couldn't find an email addy for you so I'm placing this in comments. This is a sharekey link to the RockyFellers 2 songs on my MediaFire account. You can post or not. I'll leave the file public for a few days in case anyone can't find/buy these songs. Mikelj
Woohoo! I haven't heard this song in ...er...um...ahem...over 20 years! A friend had it on one of the awesome 80's 'Kent' or 'Charley' label soul compilations, which I was always borrowing to make my own compilation tapes from. I totally agree that it does have a real 'girl group' vibe to it.
This is simply a blog where I post interesting 45s that I come across. I'm not an expert on records or music history and I'm fairly lazy, so don't expect a lot of exhaustive background or research. Comments are highly encouaged...
Most of the music files presented here come from my personal 45 collection and are posted for purposes of musical enlightenment only. These are mostly obscure songs, over 40 years old, that may not have been reissued on CD. The intention is to raise awareness of underappreciated artists/songs. If you like what you hear, seek these artists out on CD or get out there and find some of this old vinyl for yourself... If you are the copyright holder and wish any files to be removed, I will do so immediately upon request.
