The same land that gave us the Dynamics and the Raiders gave us Nirvana and Tangerine.<br /><br />We watched a video of Lulu and the Luvvers. All I can say is I really hope that video was sped up, because I don't think I've ever seen a human move quite like she did. That Jimmy Justice tune wasn't bad, either.<br /><br />Practicing my "polite counter opinion" voice for Sunday, lol! Truthfully, I'll be a good straight shooter.

Marilyn Monroe is an excellent contest...Hi, Chris!<br /><br />Marilyn Monroe is an excellent contestant for your Beauty Contest. (That Plain Jane always cleaned up good.) Last night I dreamed it was my birthday and Granny Clampett jumped out of a cake in her birthday suit and sang "16 Candles." (Remind me not to eat an entire anchovy, pineapple and licorice pizza right before bed!)<br /><br />It's an interesting piece of trivia that Tony Bennett's signature song, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," started out on such a low rung of the chart - bubbling under at #123. I worked my way down through the text all the way to the Jayhawks and didn't really find any records that I like. Most of it is the easy listening stuff that I avoided then and now.<br /><br />I like the Jayhawks' number. They sound like the Moody Blues. I appreciated the smooth lead vocal, the guitar ad libs and the female backing singers.<br /><br />WOW - I just listened to "Just One Kiss Away" by Cookie & the Cupcakes. They are great! I could hear the James Brown balladry of the early 60s in the lead vocals. "The Band Doll" by the Boogie Kings is also sensational. On that one, I can hear the Ray Charles of the period before he adopted a more mellow (boring) style. The Pacific Northwest gave birth to many great instrumental bands and recordings, (check out The Kingsmen, early stuff by Paul Revere & the Raiders and The Sonics), and I loved loved loved the Dynamics. The three regional hits you offered here are all much better than the bland crap that made it to the top of the chart in 1962.<br /><br />Bruce Channel's "Hey Baby" is great. That's what I'm talkin' about! Freddy Cannon, too! A "like" goes to Dion and Jay & the Americans. I wasn't all that excited about Joey Dee and his recordings styled to please the crowd at the Peppermint Lounge.<br /><br />Seattle sisters Mariko and Miro Justad are the greatest thing since the Double-mint Twins and their band Tangerine suits my taste just fine. Please add them to the crowded field in the Beauty Contest. The alt rock song by Telekinesis "Lean On Me" was okay but not as great as the other new and new/old music you presented today.<br /><br />Thanks, Chris, and have a Scrappy weekend! (My next post is Sunday morning and it's controversial. Your input will be welcomed.) Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
