Playing catch-up on the comments again this week due to our
special weekend feature …
But here is some of what you guys have been talking about
these past few days … (most of it haphazzardly random due to time restraints!)
I saw the Queen movie over the
weekend and absolutely loved it … it was like being at a rock concert! The actor playing Freddie was
incredible. Too bad so many critics were
let down by the film … I guess it just wasn’t close enough to the truth for
them in order to still be able to get a PG rating … but I thought it was
fantastic.
Michele
It took in $51 million in its opening weekend, the second
biggest box office ever for a music biopic.
(For the record, the all-time leader was “Straight Outta Compton,” which
profiled NWA.) Another decent weekend
(or series of weekends) could easily push the film over the $100 million mark,
a feat only achieved by “Compton” and the Johnny Cash biopic “Walk The Line” …
meaning “Bohemian Rhapsody” could conceivably become the biggest musical biopic
of all time. (kk)
Kent,
I saw
the comments from Michael Markesich about the music being sped up on the
playback of some of the old AT40 shows and I recall back in the '70's that some
stations sped up their turntables in order to get in more music in an hour than
a competing station. In addition, some stations sped up the music to make the
station sound more 'exciting'. Today, some 'oldies' stations speed up
their music in order to maintain that same 'feel' of the '70's stations (and
'60's for that matter).
While I
agree with Michael, songs that sound too sped up can turn the music into the
Chipmunks -- it is not AT40 that sped up the music, but individual stations
that did it back then and that still do it today. While most people treat pop
music as 'background,' it can be frustrating to those that listen to it more as
an 'art form.' Maybe when Michael
listens to Casey counting them down, just concentrate on the great info you are
getting and focus less on the music (or look for a station that doesn't speed
up the tunes).
Sincerely,
Joe
Cantello
That was a big controversy here in Chicago back in the ‘70’s when WCFL
was found to be speeding up the music ever-so-slightly to sound “more exciting”
than what WLS was playing (it was all mind games, of course, but they got
called on the carpet about it by renown media columnist Gary Deeb at the time …
we’ve covered this very topic before in Forgotten Hits). It also allowed them, over the course of an
hour, to slip in one more tune … or a few more commercials … so the whole idea
was very “purposeful” in all regards.
I haven’t heard any of the “sped-up” Casey Kasem episodes but I am a
little disappointed to read that the powers that be in charge of such a project
aren’t radio-savvy enough to know that they’re messing with the very music
listeners are tuning in to hear … and, in the long run, it will cost them some
of that listenership. (Rule #2 in
Forgotten Hits: Don’t Fuck With The
Memories!!!) kk
Here’s another plug for next year’s Winter Dance Party, being held at
The Surf Ballroom from January 31st – February 2nd … incredibly
the 60TH anniversary of the plane crash that took Buddy Holly,
Richie Valens and The Big Bopper from us.
An all-star line-up will keep things hoppin’ all weekend long …
Everybody from Wendy and Carnie Wilson to Frankie Avalon to Chubby
Checker to The Killer Vees (Bobby Vee’s sons) to Robin Luke to Jay and the
Americans to Little Anthony and the Imperials to Shirley Alston Reeves to The
Chiffons to Brian Hyland to Chris Montez
to Johnny Tillotson … this event is gonna be a KILLER!!!
We’d LOVE to go but just can’t swing it this year … however, if any of
our readers are going to be attending, we would LOVE to hear with you and share
your reviews on the website … so PLEASE let us know! (kk)
And, speaking of great shows, it was just announced that Herb Alpert
and Lani Hall will be returning to The City Winery next May for TWO shows … May
4th and 5th.
We thoroughly enjoyed their last appearance there and are hoping to
have the chance to see them again.
Christopher Cross is also headed back to The City Winery for two shows
on March 19th and 20th.
I know you mentioned that you
are going to see Gladys Knight at The Arcada next week. Are you also attending
Petula Clark’s show this weekend? My goodness, how old is she?
Jim
We’ve got The Orchestra on Saturday Night (the 10th) and
Gladys on the 13th … but we’re skipping Pet Clark this time
around. (We saw her last year, which was
one of our “bucket list” shows!) Without
looking it up, I’m guessing she’s gotta be 85 … and, after looking it up,
that’s technically still correct … she’ll turn 86 on the 15th of
this month. In fact, they’re now billing
her show on Sunday as a Birthday Event!
(kk)
We went to see Peter and Jeremy last night at The City Winery … I was REALLY
looking forward to this show (and anxious for Frannie to see it, too, since she
didn’t go to Beatlefest this year.) We’ll
run a follow up review in the next day or two. (Got home WAY to late to work on this last
night after what, at that point, had already been a 19-hour day!)
However, I guess that I don’t DARE run that photo again of me with
Billy J. Kramer, Peter Asher and Jeremy Clyde …
The
four of you gonna be the new Fab Four?
Jack
Levin
So I took a couple of NEW ones which we’ll use to accompany the review! (lol)
kk
Far be it from me to “overstay” our welcome by running that photo too
many times, cool as it is, so we’ll dig back and pull one from the archives
instead to feature today … probably something you haven’t seen in awhile (or as
often) here in Forgotten Hits! (kk)
If you had tickets to see UB40 at The Genesee Theatre, their postponed
show has now been rescheduled … but you’re going to have to wait about ten
months to see them!!!
Originally scheduled for September 29th of this year, the
rescheduled show will now take place on September 20th, 2019! If you are unable to attend this rescheduled
show, refunds are available at your point of purchase. (kk)
And after YEARS of rumors, it looks like 4/5ths of The Spice Girls
really ARE reuniting for a short (six city) British Tour. (As expected, Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham
won’t be participating. I believe her
EXACT quote was “I’m
not going on tour. What does that look
like in the future? It’s not me in a catsuit!”
Could a US tour follow? I
suppose anything’s possible but there’d have to be some pretty massive demand
in order to cover the expense of such a venture. (I’m thinking they should call it The Old
Spice Tour … it’d guarantee them a built-in sponsor to cover some of those
costs!)
For me, I’m content to just live with the memories (unless, of course,
they are finally able to pull off that Spice Girls / Backstreet Boys Tour that
they were talking about doing a year or two ago … in which case, I’m
in!!!) kk
Guitarist Glenn Schwartz of the ‘60’s rock band Pacific Gas And
Electric (who scored the #10 Hit “Are You Ready?” in 1970) has passed away at
the age of 77. Schwartz also holds the
distinction of being the original guitarist for The James Gang … who was then
replaced by Joe Walsh!
>>>Welcome aboard, Carl … and please keep the
memories coming. Feel free to chime in
whenever a topic piques your interest as I’m sure we’d all love to hear from
you! (kk)
Thanks ahead of time for the
memories and for letting me get a photo with you (below) at the 2016 survey
convention in KC! The fact that YOU were behind the songs being played on
KOOK is a testament to how cool the station was.
More later ...
Clark
And then later …
I
grew up in Dodge City, Kansas. IT was "just a path" to the
Rockies from anywhere. Tumble weeds galore and wind and hot and
dry. I LOVED growing up there because we kids could pick up AM DX radio
top 40 from west to east coast. Our dad was a HAM and had a 1940
hallicrafter and a great antenna that allowed for great DXing and recording via
reel to reel line feed. Like Billings, our western Kansas TV stations
were microwave news relays from Wichita. We could get superstation KWGN
Denver on skip often. (Clark)
>>>Radio
and music got me to Big Sky Country. We had record service at KOOK and
were tuned in to the national and regional charts so we knew what was getting
played. Being music director was the fun part. I got to pick the new music each
week, checked with record stores on sales, and made up the weekly survey. The
rankings were also influenced by my Saturday night show, the “Favorite Five,”
where I’d ask for calls voting for favorite songs, tabulate the results, and play
the countdown back in order. I’ll confess, my own favorites
sometimes influenced tabulations.
(Carl Mann)
As
a kid in the 60's, I had my own pretend station checking Billboard starting in ‘65
and getting my hands on every survey of stations from vacations from 1962
on. I studied all the charts I found and listened across the dial to my
heroes. I made my own surveys from ‘63 – ‘76. In the early 70's, I
was charting 200 songs on weekly charts. As music director for KOOK, I
think it would have been MY dream job (next to being a WLS DJ), if not yours! (Clark)
>>>I
played my first Beatles record while at KATI Casper, Wyoming, in late 1963. The
British Invasion was well underway when arriving at KOOK in 1964. The
Beatles were very established by this time and could do no wrong. It was the
first time I ever experienced playing album cuts on a Top 40 format,
they were so prolific. It was a new era for rock, and being a 50s doo-wop kind
of guy, I shifted grudgingly to what I soon realized was an equally great
period. (Carl Mann)
Yeah
LP tracks on AM in 64? Not happening before Beatles unless feature LP of
week. (Clark)
With the
Beatles came the “bad boys” of Britain, the Rolling Stones, also high quality
rock. What is called Classic Rock today started at this time, with the Stones
and other British-blues-based groups like The Spencer Davis Group “I’m A
Man,” the Kinks, the Animals, and of course the Yardbirds, propelled by as-yet
unknowns Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck. (Carl Mann)
Brit
Invasion music is second ONLY to Chicago area artists in 60's for me, too! I was able to work on reissue CDs by all the
Chicago bands, which was like a dream in 80's / 90’s / 2000's.
And
you played the Omaha band The Coachmen and Prof Morison's Lollipop 45s at
KISN! The drummer of those bands is close friend. (Clark)
>>>Also
memorable is playing the first Neil Diamond records. We played “Solitary Man” out of the box in
1966. He didn’t really hit until the follow-ups “Cherry Cherry” and “You Got To
Me,” and “Solitary Man” didn’t hit until its re-release in 1970.
Those three songs to my belief were never matched in his later, more famous
years. (Carl Mann)
Yes,
Neil Diamond was a double-edged sword for me, too. He was SO great in
60's before mellowing in 70's and on. I hate hearing "Sweet Caroline"
constantly at sports events. (Clark)
>>>We
actually played Nat King Cole in the Top 40 with “Let Me Tell You Babe” and
“Ballad of Cat Ballou.” Also some great African - American females,
like Verdelle Smith’s “Tar and Cement,” an ecology song pre-dating Joni
Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi song. (Carl Mann)
The
Cat Ballou 45 was one of few KLMS Lincoln hits that never made the Hot
100. It reached #1 here on KLMS! Love "Tar & Cement."
WLS' Clark Weber recently said other station jocks called him a bit racist on
his music for whites programming. (Clark)
>>>I
was a huge fan of the Mamas and Papas (had a crush on Michelle). Nancy Sinatra, too … but she was seen more as a
shirt tail artist by us jocks … but her “Sugar” album cover picture was a
favorite on the studio wall for a while.
(Carl Mann)
(c'mon ... you KNEW I had to run it again!!!) kk
Who
didn't have a crush on Michelle, altho I loved Nancy Sinatra better. Who
knew I'd eventually have my name in her CD booklets one day! So many top
artists got their brand new songs played hourly for a few days. WLS had
their top 3 requested at 10 PM and I always listened when I could. (Clark)
>>>A
career peak for Gary Lewis and The Playboys happened during my tenure at KOOK
as well, each successive release after “This Diamond Ring” a well-produced hit.
We brought them in for a concert one night in Billings when learning they were
in the region and had a hole in their schedule. So, they were available, cheap,
even though they were well on their way with hits. No limos then; us jocks had to pick up Gary
and the whole group of Playboys at the hotel and bring them to the venue, which
was a small, sweaty, room with a stage (we were lucky to have found such a dive
at the last minute) overflowing with enthusiastic teens and young 20s. The
power to their amps actually went off for about ten long seconds in the middle
of a song. They kept playing without amps like nothing happened. When the power
came back up, they were still doing the song and the outage was quickly
forgotten. Amazingly, they NEVER complained about how “back woods” this gig had
to have been for them. (Carl Mann)
Our
coincidences are amazing. Gary and gang played OKC when we were there in
summer 65 and my brother got Gary's autograph as well as all the KOMA jocks all
dressed in blue suits. I remember them
doing recent KOMA #1 "For Your Love" by the Yardbirds and when they
came to the song break, the fans started applauding which I thought was odd, as
I knew the song started back in again, as it then did. (Clark)
>>>I
always felt at the time that I got into the biz too late, just past the
pre-Beatles era of hits and personality radio. But in retrospect, it was golden
times and I’m proud to have experienced it.
(Carl Mann)
I
feel YOU and I were a part of the BEST era of radio -- Beatles ’64 - 1975
radio. My brothers were into records by 1960 and I followed and by 1964,
had a handful of 45s. I bought "She Loves You" when it came
out. 1967 is my fave music year, followed by 68 and 66, 65, 64. I
started taping off radio in ‘65 and when KEYN-FM in Wichita got going in 68, I
was into stereo FM from 69 - 72 when I started listening again to AM top 40 as
well as stereo FM. We moved from Dodge to Lincoln in the summer of ‘71,
so KLMS and KOIL were big for me, as well as KRCB-FM's great obscure
hits. KRCB was a bit odd, as it was AM / FM simulcast then, but FM was
MONO too. I listened to YOU at KOIL in the early ‘70's and taped you a little bit.
KFXM came on in stereo in ‘72, but lasted a year. Great Omaha radio days. Great remembrances. (Clark)
Any
airchecks, Carl? How did you decide to have the TV info and such on your
weekly music charts? I did that with MY personal charts, too. I
would list the artists appearing at Pershing / Civic and Peony Park on my
surveys, too!
If
you wish to sample a 70's clip I recorded in early 70's, you can download 43
minutes of tuning around for DJs and stations done in Lincoln by me. Just
random stuff from a great radio time. KOIL in there as well as WLS, KLMS,
KOMA etc. A cold day at home as a teen listening.
Clark Besch
I, too, welcome Carl Mann to Forgotten Hits.
Carl has been a customer of mine for a few years and we met
at the survey convention two years ago. One tends to forget that small market
radio is where many records got played first, before they hit it big.
Jack Levin
Here’s hoping that Carl will continue to share his memories
with our readers! (kk)
>>>Terry Knight (who had a minor hit
record with an early version of the ultimate Tom Jones hit "I (Who Have
Nothing)" back in 1964 (kk)
Oops! "I (Who Have Nothing)" was
originally a Top 30 hit for Ben E. King in 1963; and the Terry Knight & The
Pack version hit the charts in late 1966.
– Randy
Price
Yes, but then I couldn’t have tied it into the other calendar
anniversary of Tom Jones being awarded Britain’s Music Industry Trusts’ Award …
and referring to him as “Mr. Sock-In-The Pants” again for the 114th
time!!!
Ben E. King’s version may have been the original charter (#25, 1963)
but it was Tom Jones who had the biggest and most recognizable hit with this
song in 1970 (#10). Terry Knight and the
Pack’s version actually peaked at #42 in early 1967. (kk)
How many of our TIMEless classics did you listen to on Sunday? (One hell of a list, if I do say so myself …
and there were DOZENS more that I had to eliminate to keep the tally right
around 60!)

Took me two sessions to get thru it all ... lol!

Normally we’ll set

READERS HELPING READERS:
>>>Yesterday as I clicked on to your
website, before it popped up was a survey - questionaire from someone or
something called Houston? Not quite sure. It's just like those commercials I
see on television with an old song playing in the back ground. I know and
recognize the song but can't remember the product being advertised. Anyway, I
took the survey; it took some 30 seconds to complete. At the end was offered a
free $50 gift certificate with various items being offered. They had a flashlight
shown which looked good to me. I didn't offer to get it because they said all
that I had to pay was the shipping charges. My question to you is have any
other of your readers that you know of, had this question-aire pop up on their
computer before FH popped up? (Larry)
>>>This is the very first I've ever heard of this ... and no,
it is NOT supposed to happen. I will
have to check with Blogger and Yahoo to see what may have caused this. Please know that Forgotten Hits is NOT

I've had issues like this with other sites, and while the
site owner is aware of what could be going on, their deal with who(m)ever's
hosting the site might actually provide openings for other knuckleheads to quietly
dump tracking files (usually in the form of 'cookies' showing you've visited
certain sites) onto the viewer's system. It's one thing when a site tells you,
"yes, we put cookies on your computer that provide advertising, which
helps pay our costs," but quite another when somebody else, through the
channels provided by the originator(s) of the ads, gets involved.
When these files do things you don't want them to do, they
become "malware," and there are a number of (often free) software
products that help protect users from that, or at least detect and clean it out
whenever needed.
I, for example, use <ahref=https://www.malwarebytes.com/>Malwarebytes.</a>
They offer both free and purchase-able products depending
on the user's needs.

And, purely by coincidence FH
Reader Frank B sent us this vintage clip of The Box Tops appearing on The Cool
Ghoul John Zacherle’s television program back in ’67. (Notice that I didn’t say PERFORMING … this
is a bit of an odd clip in that The Box Tops are there … and they do a bit of a
fractured interview … but although their #1 Hit “The Letter” plays in the
background twice, we never actually get to see them perform it! What we DO get to see is Zacherle doing some
unabashed flirting with some of the young female dancers there that day … I’m
not so sure something like this would play in THIS day and age!!!) kk
I had read that the Philadelphia
International Records building was to be demolished, after significant parts of
it were damaged in a 2010 fire.
Are they at a different location now?
Are they at a different location now?
Bob Frable
We visited there in 2007. I know fire pretty well destroyed the
building a few years later, but I don’t know what they’re using for their
headquarters now. I will, however, try to find out. (kk)
There are no real headquarters these days,
Kent. Just some administrative offices, nothing special, as the label has given
way to Gamble - Huff Entertainment.
Randy Alexander
I know there’s a Walk Of Fame Section because I remember reporting on
it. Too bad that there isn’t a more
substantial landmark to commemorate all the music that came out of this great
city. (If I recall correctly, the
building we saw when we visited Philadelphia is the same location of the
original Cameo / Parkway Records label, another topic we have covered
extensively in Forgotten Hits.

SOUND
OF PHILADELPHIA ARCHITECTS KENNY GAMBLE &
LEON HUFF REUNITE WITH CAMEO - PARKWAY LEGENDS DEE DEE SHARP AND BOBBY RYDELL TO SHARE A PAIR
OF LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT HONORS
Huff
and Rydell presented with Lifetime Music Achievement Awards at Philadelphia
RowHome Magazine Blue Sapphire Award Ceremony
L-R: Leon Huff, Dee Dee Sharp, Bobby Rydell and Kenny Gamble
reunite to share honors at the RowHome Magazine Blue Sapphire Awards.

Randex Communications.
In a historic reunion that traced the roots of the Sounds of
Philadelphia and 60 years of world-renown Philly Soul, Philadelphia
International Records co-founders and R&B pioneers Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff arrived last night to reunite with a
pair of Philly’s Cameo - Parkway Records “Bandstand” legends, Bobby Rydell (“Wild One,” “Volare”) and Dee Dee Sharp (“Mashed
Potato Time”), as Huff and Rydell each received Lifetime Music Achievement
honors at the annual Philadelphia RowHome Magazine Blue Sapphire Awards.
Kenny Gamble presented the award to Leon Huff, partners for over
50 years, and recounted joyfully how blessed they were to have fatefully met on
an elevator in the old Shubert Building offices, so successfully and prolifically
blending Gamble’s lyrics to Huff’s melodies to create over 3,000 songs,
including R&B #1 hits, pop #1 hits, gold and platinum records, multiple
Grammy and BMI songwriters' awards, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame.
“Huff is one of the best keyboard players I’ve ever known and
worked with,” said Gamble. “I’m proud to still call him my production and
writing partner for the past five decades.”
Leon Huff, in accepting the award from Gamble, gave thanks for
the tremendous catapult that meeting Gamble gave to his career, the pivotal
moment in a musical journey which began as a youth playing his mother’s upright
piano in the family’s Camden, NJ living room.
“Meeting Kenny Gamble in Philadelphia,” said Huff, “was the best
thing that happened in my life.”
While primarily known for all his worldwide mega-hits with
Gamble, Huff also is highly accomplished solo artist, starting in 1964 with
co-writing "Mixed-Up, Shook-Up Girl" for Patty & the Emblems, and
in 1980, the popular dance track, "I Ain't
Jivin', I'm Jammin'," from his solo album, Here to
Create Music.
Dee Dee Sharp, in
presenting the award to Rydell, commented on how much she feels he’s one of the
all-time “greatest guys” and reminded the more than 400 attendees at the
black-tie affair how honored she was to have sung background vocals on all of Rydell’s Cameo - Parkway hits while
still a teenager. Sharp became the nation’s first black female teen idol at
Cameo - Parkway, where Rydell was groomed as a massively popular early teen
idol as well.
Gamble has long credited the writers at Cameo - Parkway, where
Rydell and Sharp became stars, for inspiring him and Leon Huff in the earliest
days of their legendary partnership as songwriters, producers and record
company executives. The roots of Gamble & Huff date back to the early
1960s, when they backed Sharp and Chubby Checker on tours as members of Kenny
Gamble and the Romeos. The Cameo - Parkway office building eventually became
the Philadelphia International Records hit factory following its purchase by
Gamble & Huff in 1971. www.gamble-huffmusic.com
The next artist to receive the Royal Philharmonic treatment will be The
Carpenters … look for a new release just in time for Christmas. (And then, in 2019, they’re going to
re-record and re-release EVERY record ever made!!!)
Honestly, I think I’m done with this series … yes, the Elvis thing was
cool as a novelty … it was the first release of its kind and they actually
improved on a couple of tracks in the process … and I couldn’t not own The
Beach Boys edition … but this is just WAY too much of a good thing … which
makes it NOT such a good thing after all.
Seriously, all of this music doesn’t need to be re-orchestrated … and
I’m a little surprised that Richard Carpenter, who was one hell of an arranger
in his own right, would go along with such a thing.
For the incessantly curious, here is the track list from the new
Carpenters edition, which becomes available on December 7th …
1. Overture
2. Yesterday
Once More
3. Hurting
Each Other
4. I
Need to Be in Love
5. For
All We Know
6. Touch
Me When We’re Dancing
7. I
Believe You
8. I
Just Fall in Love Again
9. Merry
Christmas Darling
10. Baby It’s You
11. (They Long to Be) Close to You
12. Superstar
13. Rainy Days and Mondays
14. This Masquerade
15. Ticket to Ride
16. Goodbye to Love
17. Top of the World
18. We’ve Only Just Begun
"Easy Loving" is
one of the very few songs that reference Thanksgiving!
