I was really impressed with the Orlons belting out the "Wah Watusi" on stage many years after they first recorded their big hit. Hell, they looked as old as I am, but they sang the song just like it was still 1962. Keep them comin' my friend. |

Post subject: | Five from the Ringo Starr "Sentimental Journey" Album |
Here are five from the Ringo Starr "Sentimental Journey" album (1970). I think Ringo does a great job on these songs that your parents or perhaps grandparents danced to. 1- "Sentimental Journey" (Ringo Starr) https://youtu.be/XyWFwbIFw9c?t=97 2- "Night and Day" (Ringo Starr) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba8Y0NyccDc4- 3- "Bye Bye Blackbird" (Ringo Starr) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfImPW7N1vw 4- "Stardust" (Ringo Starr) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLkGshFAglY 5 "Blue Turning "Grey" Over You" (Ringo Starr) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8RZKKHQ4_8 p.s. It took a lot of work to find links to where you could actually hear the songs, and a lot of editing to get them all up here. Hope they work for you. |

Your last one, "Little Darling" by the Diamonds was a painful reminder of my blunder last Monday at Bob & Marty's live trivia at Saint's in St. Matthews. (A Louisville suburb.) We have a team that plays trivia there every Monday night. All modesty aside, I am the team's go-to answer man any time we get a music question from the late 1950s or early 1960s. I have always been right until last Monday night. The question was what was the Diamonds' biggest hit. I hadn't had a drop to drink. Perhaps I should have, because somehow my befuddled mind came up with the answer "Little Star". Why I ever came up with that answer is beyond me. I kept thinking that it didn't sound quite right, but once it was in my head, I couldn't come up with anything else. Seeing that nobody else on our team had the slightest idea, we went with my WRONG answer. I will remember this embarrassing moment to the day I die... God damn it. I knew the answer was "Little Darlin' ", but somewhere in my brain the synapses were out to lunch. |

Post subject: | Re: Last 5 song thread redux |
Interesting stuff, MUDEE. (A very eclectic five.) I listened to all of them, and I have a few comments. - Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermint" brought back happy memories of a time long past. - "Tobacco Road" was written and first recorded by John D. Loudermilk in 1960. Some say Loudermilk's version was a folk song, but I would consider it the blues. The first group to record a hit rock version, was the Nashville Teens in 1964. I picked the Blues Magoos' version, because I saw them twice in concert, and I think their rendition of it is the best. Here's a link to Loudermilk's original version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kXpobQhnQA - Billy Thorpe's "Children of the Sun" didn't do much for me. However, if you were in the band, I'll listen to it again, and give it three thumbs up. - Where on Earth did you ever come up with "I Really Love You" by The Stereos...? I have never heard of it until tonight. I found that it was released in 1961, but it sounds like a song from the mid 1950's, when rock-and-roll was just beginning. (Perhaps the DJs in Rome, NY, just decided to not play the song.) Anyway, I like the song, and plan to search the Internet to see if I can buy a Stereos' album with that song on it. - Even though Carlos Santana didn't record "Black Magic Woman" first, it's my favorite version of the song. (Not saying that Fleetwood Mac's version wasn't good too.) (Keep 'em comin'...) |

As much as I love music, I never had the dedication to it to make a career of it. Instead I make stuff out of metal.

Anyway, I like the song, and plan to search the Internet to see if I can buy a Stereos' album with that song on it. There used to be a radio station here in AZ called K-Best oldies in the early 90s. Like most radio stations, it underwent a format change. This was the best oldies station I had ever listened to. They played stuff I had never heard, and The Stereos was one. |

Unfortunately, it's a vinyl 45 record. I should have told you that I'm only looking for CDs that I can rip to "Windows Media Player" on my computer. |

Getting back to the "Last 5 song thread redux", here are five silly songs that some of you might have never heard: 1- "Beep Beep" by the Playmates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDSk4zwjg5A 2- "Kookie Little Paradise" by Jo Ann Campbell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUovAsynoTQ 3- "Baby Talk" by Jan and Dean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO0bHrOSQng 4- ""Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini" by Brian Hyland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KvHuOY_2Ig 5- "Who Put the Bomp" by Barry Mann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXmsLe8t_gg (Amazingly, all of these novelty songs did well on the Billboard charts. Yep, none ever got close to #1, but they were up there.) |

Out of respect for the previous five singers, I feel obligated to give them another chance to sing something other than novelty songs. Here they are: 1- "What is Love" by the Playmates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK9wad536tw 2- "(I'm the Girl) From Woverton Mountain" by Jo Ann Campbell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQZ7c3uKJ0s 3- "Little Old Lady from Pasadena by Jan and Dean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MdZN5L1WQ8 4- "Sealed with a Kiss" by Brian Hyland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAg5A5Efijs 5- "We Gotta Get Out of this Place" by Barry Mann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgbi7v-U-ds |

At first I didn't know what the word "redux" meant. After a while, I just decided to jump in and post some songs, still without knowing what "redux" meant. I incorrectly guessed that it meant the last five songs I had heard. Not too long ago, I decided to Google the definition of the word. It means: "Redux is a post-positive adjective meaning "brought back, restored" (from Latin reducere, "to bring back")." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redux_(literary_term) Heck, the "Last 5 song thread redux" is only asking for five songs from the past that you liked. (I still have a problem trying to figure out why the word "last" is included in the thread's title.) |

Post subject: | Signature songs of Crooners of the Past... |
Signature songs of Crooners of the past... (Several of these crooners of the past had more than one signature song. Where there were more than one, I just picked the one I liked best.) Get ready to go back in time. Here we go: 1- "New York New York" by Frank Sinatra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KJQNMqVIug 2- "The Candy Man" by Sammy Davis Jr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zakTRnOB1Oc 3- "Everybody Loves Somebody" Dean Martin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OohySgTM_c8 4- "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" Tony Bennett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTBsZEZrcOo 5- "Where the Blue of the Night (Meets the Gold of the Day)" by Bing Crosby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1rOvyJVBf8 (Bonus track...! I couldn't leave Bing's buddy off this list. Though he really doesn't qualify as a crooner, I think his signature song does.) 6- "Thanks for the Memory" by Bob Hope & Shirley Ross https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ4bx05AdcA (The 78 rpm version.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIZZoaFzXaA (The motion picture version.) (There's a little problem here. I think that Bob Hope and Shirley Ross sang this song in two movies. The first was "The Big Broadcast of 1938", where the song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and became Hope's signature tune. The second was the 1939 movie "Thanks for the Memory". My best guess is that the link I gave you shows a clip from the first movie, but I'm not sure.) p.s. Both of the links to "Thanks for the Memory" I've given you, go on to other Bob Hope videos after the song is over, which are quite interesting and usually funny. However, after working on this post for a long time and checking things, I have found that the additional Bob Hope videos that come up change every time. If you are interested in Bob Hope, I think the best two to watch are the Dean Martin's "Man of the Hour, Celebrity Roast" of Bob Hope, and the "Biography" documentary about his life.) Here's a link to Dean Martin's "Man of the Hour, Celebrity Roast" of Bob Hope (I should warn you that it goes on for nearly 50 minutes.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNg-NYcRnYE Here's a link to the "Biography" video of Bob Hope's life (It also goes on for a very long time.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djsara2WXNc |

Post subject: | Louis Armstrong, 100 Hits Legends |
Demon Music Group, Ltd., a British company, has issued a large number of compilations of famous artists' hit songs. Each box set has five CDs and 100 songs on them. I have collected quite a few of them, and so far it's looking like all of them feature artists from years gone by. One that I have particular enjoyed is "Louis Armstrong, 100 Hits Legends". What a dilemma I now face... I have to pick 5 out of the 100, and for the most part, they're all darn good. Anyway, here are the five I selected: 1- "Mack the Knife" by Louis Armstrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrHWrdfw7eo 2- "Lazy River" by Louis Armstrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DfZSBv_414 3- "St. Louis Blues" by Louis Armstrong and Velma Middleton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYzbKY2oqRs 4- "On the Sunny Side of the Street" by Louis Armstrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0FRH-XMnac 5- "You Made Me Love You" by Louis Armstrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGFsLwv505I |
