The Yank

Sorry Robb! Don't know what I was thinking. Maybe this will cheer you up - Jerry Mathers with the Jimmie Haskell Orchestra -

His version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" sounds like he could have been -

Sad to hear this! RIP Bonnie ! This version of "Heaven..." was Motown's first digitally recorded 45 _

Kim Weston did a nice job on the song too -

Sorry- I must have missed the part about Soul do's just saw the "Worst Record I Ever Heard" part.

This is what happens when you tell everyone you can't sing and a record company signs you anyway. Burt Ward was better known as Robin on the 60's "Batman" show -

Not sure if its the worst but would definitely be in the Top 10 - it sounds like 2 or 3 records playing at once. And if you like this, they did release an album -

The Chess brothers 3rd label (after Chess and Checker) did have a lot of problems with its name. It started out as Marterry and was changed to Argo after band leader Ralph Marterrie objected to the name. The Argo name lasted about 9 years before finally going to Cadet.

Happens to all of us- don't worry about it! From Record World October 9, 1965 -

Argo was actually changed to Cadet. Chess and Checker remained the same.

Probably because Johnny was still under contract to Jomada ?

Dave Moore's book "The Philly Sound" also says that either Mike or Ike is possibly Johnny Daye .

I didn't think it was that bad. I've heard much worse !

The Dudes and Dolls 45 was a remake of Herb Alpert and later Dionne Warwick's big hit -

Just out of curiosity, where did this Kev Roberts said Connie Clark was an opera singer quote come from?? In one of his Top 500 books, he said Connie was Chris Clark. He did mention Louise "Miss L.L." Lewis was a former opera singer but not Connie .

Her'e a rare lead from Shelly on a Honey Cone song. To me, this doesn't sound like the same singer on "My Sugar Baby" -

Frank Wilson's version was recorded in L.A. . Since both Frank and Connie's version share the same backing track, it's safe to say Connie's version was done there also.

Recently came across this ad from the company, nothing very exciting until the part about OLP #6600 which appears to be a compilation album. I've never seen it, can't find anything about it, so I'm guessing for some reason it got pulled from release. Does anyone have any info on it ?

Question- Would this qualify as a "tailor made" or is it just a song that sounds like it was made a lot earlier? If it is a "tailor made" it would be in my Top 5.

Really sad to hear this especially right after Little Richard's passing. Just saw her on an episode of "Unsung" about a month ago which I think is currently on you tube. R.I.P. Betty !!

R.I.P. Mr. Penniman- the "architect of Rock and Roll"

Not sure about the " this one got almost no airplay on it's initial run..." comment. I remember hearing it a lot on this station and another one (WMPP?) -

Place stamp here The blue Cadet is the original press, the other an early 70's reissue. Having a wonderful time, wish you were here !

I know you're interested in Mary Cantine but, this ad from Cashbox (1962) shows Bill Schwartau and Bob Schwaid did exist -
