Ray Brown & the Whispers - Fool fool fool


Fool fool fool released in July 1965, was a cover of Roosevelt Grier's "Fool, Fool, Fool". Lyrically, the song is pretty slight, being a rather melodramatic variant on the "Mockingbird" theme, with a dash of "I Fought The Law" thrown in. A former footballer, Ray was always known for his fit and non-indulging lifetyle, so it came as a great shock to friends and fans when he died suddenly on August 16, 1996 ,at 53 www.milesago.com

Marty Robbins - The story of my life


Marty Robbins - The story of my life 1958 . Paintings by Harrison Fisher 1875-1934 The following is a comment by Chuck (chkjns). "This song is a milestone - it's the FIRST song collaboration by Burt Bacharach & Hal David in 1957! As if that's not enough, the arranger/conductor backing Marty is RAY CONNIFF, one of the best selling recording artists of all time in his own right! Conniff's diary says this was released Sept '57. He was Columbia's leading arranger in the late '50s, creating hits for Guy Mitchell, Tony Bennett, and Johnny Mathis, among others. The collective talent on this one recording is MINDboggling!"

Betty McQuade - Midnight Bus


BETTY MCQUADE Midnight Bus (John D. Loudermilk) Australia 1961 John D. Loudermilk Quote-- In my hometown of Durham, the Midnight Bus, that's the way the kids used to elope. Now back before everybody had a car and those who either got pregnant or wanted to get married early, they just got on the bus and went down to South Carolina 'cause you could marry at 14 down there. So they'd get on the bus and get married and come back, the next day to tell all their friends, "Look, we're married, ha ha!"

In fact it became the third-biggest selling single in Australia's record history, topped by The pub with no beer and Tie me kangaroo down sport. But even that success ran into trouble. At the height of its popularity Australia was shocked by the kidnapping and murder of young Graeme Thorne. To spare the child's family further distress Johnny Ashcroft and EMI records withdrew the song from the air and from general circulation.

Pussyfoot - The way that you do it


Pussyfoot , The act consisted of former The Mixtures member, songwriter, producer and musician Mick Flinn, and vocalist Donna Jones. Flinn remained behind the scenes, and Jones was marketed as a solo artist. In 1975 they recorded a disco song The Way That You Do It, and first attracted public attention when the song's suggestive lyrics caused it to be banned by the BBC. In Australia, the television show Countdown began playing the video clip, and exploited the British ban on playing the song. Over several months, Jones became a sensation and a sex symbol. The song was released as a single by EMI Records and spent eight weeks at number one on the singles chart from December 1976 [Wikipedia]
