October 11, 200915 yr JOHN & the WEIRDEST, you can't get a more weird name than that! "Can't Get Over These Memories/ No Time" are fantastic recordings, but a strange choice of group name. I beleive this is Johnny Hendley and group. Edited October 11, 200915 yr by Perception

October 13, 200915 yr I have been told that the Huns Review was the band, and the Soul Brothers feature on the vocal. The term 'review' was used by performing acts that would have multiple personas - for example, they would do a set as a stripped down R&B act, then a set with some 'special guest' vocalist (if the primary singer was male, the special guest would be a woman), and a set of ballad/torch songs. They don't mean review like a movie review.

October 19, 200915 yr Godoy Colbert; Willie Colon; Gamma Goochee (Himself) eh? Off at a tangent I know but I'm still awestruck whenever I recall 1970s boxer's 'ring monickers' from my youth. Personal faves include Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini; John 'The Beast' Mugabe and my all-time personal fave: Dave 'The Chatteris Fen Tiger' Boy Green (Who, from memory, was kin bobbins)

February 16, 201015 yr Is actually Demetriss Trapp. She made loads of records in the 60's, must have been well known ...er, better make that 'Tapp', mate. She was indeed quite well known as a songwriter, she was married to Bob Tubert (himself a fairly high profile Country songwriter and producer). Good looking woman, too....
February 16, 201015 yr ...er, better make that 'Tapp', mate. She was indeed quite well known as a songwriter, she was married to Bob Tubert (himself a fairly high profile Country songwriter and producer). Good looking woman, too.... Are you sure, I thought she was a member of the famous Von Trapp family who recorded some cool stuff in Austria many years ago...
February 16, 201015 yr Were they having a laugh when Veep put out a track by Willie and the Handjives??? Nah, tis a great tune They were surely referencing Johnny Otis with all his Handjive tunes- one of which was entitled "Willie and the Handjive" but I'll chuck in Tim Tam and The Turn Ons. ATB Tony "Youngblood"P
February 16, 201015 yr I've always found Emanuel Laskey a bit odd. Whether Emanuel is a good or bad first name is up to personal taste. But how on earth did a black singer from Detroit end up with a typical east prussian/polish surname?
