Okay now I feel a dummy. Please, just explain to this old man what you mean by retro.

Your first instinct is usually correct.

Your first instinct is usually correct.

As an aside, "Lies" by the Knickerbockers was written and I believe, produced by Sly Stone. You want retro, yes, we do need some "stinking" retro. And for a minute, let me catch my breath. Give up one song I don't love at least.

 

[JordyG]

One of my favorite do-wop singers.

 

[JordyG]

So many. But this Dr., who was part of a group that was associated with 3 different groups sings my personal fave by them. Although they became famous for another song.

 

[JordyG]

This was the one that put Jay Seigel and The Tokens on the map.

 

[JordyG]

And finally the original John "Jay" Traynor who was the first Jay in "Jay and the Americans", and part of the Tokens with Seigel, with my fave from him.

 

[JordyG]

Yeah, there just too many. And I love doo-wop. Where's donalddoowop when you need him?

 

[JordyG]

Wait. Before I leave for the night here's one of the great voices of the era, someone who Jackie Wilson just loved to death and copied just a bit. Here he is in a rare video with this guy at the piano that seems familiar.

Glad you could join the "happening"!

 

[JordyG]

Let me try that again. In a rare video with a guy at the piano that seems familiar.

I've never shared this story with anyone, so the BY sounds like the place.

On August 29, 1969 I attended a concert here in NYC at the Singer Bowl on the old World's Fair grounds across from Shea Stadium. The band I went to see came on after Larry Coryell played (I think. It could've been Buddy Guy). This band said they'd just flown in from London finishing up their 2nd album, which hadn't been released yet. They said it would be their pleasure to perform the songs from that album. This is the song they opened with.



During their version of "Moby Dick" Bonham was so drunk he fell unconscious off of his stool. Plant came to the mic and said, "Is there a doctor in the house"?
