This week show begins with part 3 of hit the 6 a selection of records that peaked in number 6 in the u.s. Charts in the golden age of popular music the sound of it from one to 59 and 60 I will come from Freddie cannon Ray Charles Conway Twitty and others. After that will be shaking all over in the company of the license Slim Harpo Little Willie John and surprise surprise Johnny kid in the pirates. Later on in the 2nd half of the show but picking up the threads of a tribute to the popular 950 singer Kelly star was interrupted by the last. Chuck Berry. On to finish the Beach Boys The Supremes and Aretha Franklin among the big transatlantic hitmakers a 50 years ago in American talk to the newcomers oldest 967 let's start a pool 9059 when looking Nelson was the 6. Ricky Nelson and never the anyone else but you a dreamy romantic ballads or soppy song if you prefer from the Pennebaker night as was common practice at the time this was coupled with a sprightly uptempo number it's late composed by Dorsey Burnett It seemed as if both Ricky's American label Imperial and its British outlets in London were unsure which side to plug so that the market decide in the States never be anyone else but you want to close battle by peaking at number 6 in April not a 59 with its late breathing down its neck and I'm a 9 in the u.k. We went decisively for the rocker which got as high as number 3 a month later would never be anyone else but you lacking behind liking behind a number 14 both sides on the Ricky Nelson album called Greatest Hits on Capitol Records. The end of June. It's reached its high water. Freddie cannon and Tallahassee Lassie Bob Crewe the future producer the 4 Seasons was based on the late night in fifty's in Philadelphia where his associate was Frank sleigh the 2 men always on the lookout for new talent got wind of a Boston act called Freddy Carmen on the hurricanes that what they heard but thought the group needed refining so they rewrote one of the lead singers songs and sent a recording of it along to Swan records back home in Philadelphia for consideration for the record with terrible crew and Slade on the Dick Clark of American Bandstand who applied pressure on Swan records to issue it regardless came out under the name of Freddie cannon and crude an unsophisticated it may have been be confounded the record companies expectations when it reached number 6 in America at the end of June out of 59 and squeezing the British top 20 in late August might as an even better here in fact said it had a real tussle on its hands competing with Tommy Steele's cover version which just picked it number 16 for the cannon had 5 more u.s. Top 40 hits after that and Swan records at the moment about him again all of those hits can be found on Freddie canon the e.p. Collection on c 4 miles records for a chance next wondering just what he said. Come . See. Him. Come. Ray Charles and what does say a number that have been improvised to fill out a set at a gig in Pittsburgh in December 9058 we received such an overwhelming reaction from the dancers the Rae worked on it some more what is done to satisfaction he told Jerry Wexler an amateur took on the growing from our show of planting records they had a new song to record what they cared to attend the session in their usual role of producers 2 executives who both shocks and thrilled at the way Ray developed his gospel arm be just fusion in such a seemingly primitive manner indeed they hesitated for a while before finally plucking up the courage to release the record you needn't have worried the public responded enthusiastically to this outrageous mixture of the sacred and the sensible and in the case of the less orgasmic a side they got the mainstream radio plugs the record topped the RB charts the 1st week of August 1 to 59 and got as high as number 6 in the pop once a week or 2 later Ray's biggest crossover hit to date by a mile wide apart from its immediate impact what I say went on to become an r. And b. And rock n roll standard and also underline the significance of the emerging style of soul music is resonances would ring on other recordings such as Bobby Parker's watch your step Richie Barrett some of the guy and even the Beatles I feel fine the best of Ray Charles it Landtag years is. Rhino Records we have to move on to the end of $99.00 for our next hit the 6 which comes from. Bobby your ideal and we got love the follow up to his debut hit kissing time which had fallen just short of the top 10 in the summer of 9059 the melody of this new one old something to Lloyd Price's personality but overall feeling arrangements hearken back to the novelty songs of the early to mid night in fifty's as currently demonstrated by Guy Mitchell's retro swan song hit heartaches by the number Porto's could expect from cameo records in house team of Dave are pale and count man for whom originality was a totally alien concept having said that though what about those Yeah Yeah Yeahs unlikely as its connection with the Beatles might seem Don't forget that ride Els later hit forget him had some influence on the writing of she loves you so reference back to this early success of his is not beyond the bounds of possibility we got love did very well for itself thanks to generous plugs from fellow Philadelphian Dick Clark and then a dip in the top 10 a number 6 in December 9059 The singer was still to make his British chart debut however and as our McColgan who stole his thunder in this instance getting a top 30 place with a cover version of the best of Bob Weir I dealt Cameo Parkway 905-9264 is on Abco records. A couple of months after Bobby Rideout had enjoyed his debut top 10 hit Conway Twitty scored his final one. Of. Her. Conway Twitty and lonely Blue Boy Conway Twitty was known to break into an approximation of the style of Elvis Presley from time to time as on his best known hit it's only make believe but really did he do it as flagrantly as on a lonely blue boy still why not your actual This was something increasingly on like himself just at present so someone clearly had to do it for him to be fair though lonely blue boy had actually been written for Elvis to sing in the film King Creole Well they are presently due to record it the song and its original title of Danny wasn't in fact used in the film quite a few people including our own Cliff Richard and Marty Wilde then had a bash at recording these willfully neglected number but it's Conway Twitty who really took it on and gave it not only the full Elvis treatment but also a new title the record became the last 20 d.t. To turn into really big hits when it got as high as number 6 in February 960 after that he had a handful of top 30 entries before switching to country music where enjoyed further success the 1st 7 of his 9 u.s. Top 40 pockets are on looking back the very best of the m.g.m. Recordings on rpm records the end of that same month it was Bobby Darin's turn to find himself hit for 6 and. Somewhere. Where the when me. My. Older. That. Was Bobby Darin following his massive pitch of the adult market with the knife by tackling an old Schalch in a number of original called La Mer this song reputedly written on a train in 1043 on toilet paper kindly donated by the French railways was a post-war hit for the composer and his homeland song was then given a completely new set of English lyrics by Jack Laurence whose title Beyond the Sea was the only real connection of the spirit of the original but we dare in scored another big hit in his new musical style went beyond the sea reached the top 10 in both the British and American charts peaking at number 6 in the us at the end of February 19th 60 and the age in the u.k. Virtually the same time Darren's more sophisticated side is revealed on Mack the Knife the best of Bobby Darin Volume 2 on Atco records is Brenda Lee next declaring that's all you gotta do. Brenda leave you with that's all you got to do it Gerry read composition that was issued as the beside of her imminent number one hit I'm sorry the original intention was to make That's all you got to do the a side of the Decker executives felt that a 15 year old girl really shouldn't be sounding as world weary as Brenda did on I'm sorry but in the event both sides so very strongly with that's all he got to do reaching number 6 at the beginning of July a fortnight before his new a side and Barton a 3 week stint a number one in this country it was only I'm sorry that received significant airplay so that's what he got to do didn't feature in our listings However both sides are on the best of Brenda Lee a British orientated collection on m.c.a. . My final hit for 6 this time around comes from a set of one hit wonders called the safaris. That was image of a girl by a white do what group called the safaris formed at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles the seat of learning was clearly a hotbed of musical Endeavor this is also nurture the talents of Bruce Johnston led to the Beach Boys Sunday Nelson and the teddy bears as the sofar is their recall claim they were backed by a sinister sounding outfit called the Phantoms band but really this consists of the various members of the Hollywood Argyle's whose recent number one hit alue up was still high in the charts image of a girl did very well itself eventually getting as high as number 6 at the beginning of August 960 but it turned out to be a once in a lifetime success for the safaris in this country images of image of a girl got taken to the cleaners by cover versions Mark winter got his chart and top 20 debut with his rendition and another by certain Nelson Keane just made it into the Top 40 the originals on the 1st volume of the Golden Age of American rock n roll on a strict holds enough and she's part 3 of hit for a 6. Hour of Power. You're listening to Henrietta's jukebox on b.b.c. Radio Humberside Lincolnshire a New York coming up next shaking all over an agitated theme the likes of Slim Harpo Margaret Louis and Roy Brown let's start with the obvious one. 2 lol. Band. Johnny kid in the pirates and shaking all over the greatest British rock n roll record ever made though Cliff Richard fans might vote for move it instead Frederick Heath Johnny kids daytime identity suffer from defective vision Valley where an eye patch helped after that the rest of the gear he and his band took to wearing naturally suggested itself the Paris most revered guitarist was Mick green but he didn't join the band until $9062.00 when they were more than halfway through their recording career in any case the musician who's playing really fires up this record was a session guitarist called Joe Mirecki later an uncredited member of the Jet Harris and Tony Meehan band as I suggested the other week oh no it was last week actually Joe's distinctive guitar riff was probably inspired by the one used by Mickey Baker on making Sylvia's no good lover at least a couple of years previously though not in the u.k. Shaking all over was a Number One British hit in organist 96 of the band didn't really conform to the conventions of the day and struggle to follow it up however they were hugely influential special on the who supported them on a number of occasions in the early days when they were known as the detours later they included a stirring revival of shaking all over in their stage act captured on disc on their celebrated Live At Leeds album. With the rise of the big groups whom the pirates had in many respects anticipated to make its fortunes revived and he scored one of the top 5 hit in the summer one to 63 with our never get over you but alas he was killed in a car crash in 1966 Johnny kit in the pirates 25 greatest hits on music for pleasure is a fitting monument they actually had only 9 hits but let's not quibble. So you know so peace to be shaking all over is Little Willie John. And a wobble in my wall trimly. To talk romance. And. I won't oh my and I'm slim. And you. Move around and. See. Me. The way. I look up. To me. That was Little Willie John with a Rudy Toombs song called I'm shaking to go to a couple of days before Christmas not to 59 with Sonny Thompson on piano and Phillip Paul on drums and it's very much in the style of his early hits once even a sly reference to fever in the lyric at one point however it was issued as the Beside a very valuable of the old Billy Eckstein hit a cottage for sale which didn't progress very far in the Hot 100 the following spring both sides won a Little Willie John collection called The King sessions 925829618 stretcher holds now just as with Johnny Kidd little Willie Jones whole body was a quiver on that song we just heard So let's start itemizing he is don't tarry for instance experiencing some nice shake in. We started dancing. And that was something. I was slowly. The 1st of those 2 examples of trembling lower limbs was nice shaking a soul compose number by the deeply Dawn Terry unusual to hear a saxophone on a rockabilly recording but were unable to say it was part of a pattern since this recording of Mr Terry's seems to be in a one off effort released on Linn records of Gainesville Texas in December 9058 Terry real name Don Alexander previously been the bass player in a band called strikes formed by a group of classmates at the North Texas State College fellow students of theirs who had slightly more success in their musical careers were Roy Orbison and Pat Boone knee shaking is an anthology called them rockabilly cats on a seconds after that nice shaking its entire lower limb that is engaged in shake a leg by Margaret Lewis there are far more women involved in the early rock n roll scene the you might realize very few of them made much commercial headway thanks mostly to the patronising attitude of a male dominated business Margaret Lewis was no exception to this rigid rule never scoring any kind of hits as far as I know though she did at least achieve a degree of Latter-Day fame among born again rockabilly fans she grew up near Buddy Holly's hometown of Lubbock in Texas and in 157 came 2nd in a local talent contest prize being in the Pyrenees on the celebrated Louisiana Hayride radio show this quarter noticed and she eventually ended up with a recording contract with a small independent label of Ram records of Shreveport Louisiana ram records was run by resourceful entrepreneur and guitarist core Myra Smith Myra accompanied Margaret on a night 59 recording of shake a leg under the guise of grace Tennessee and her guitar later Margaret even got the chance to record in Cosmo metastases New Orleans studio backed by Johnny winter's band of the day they've been appearing together at an airbase in Biloxi apparently but Ram records was in financial meltdown at the. Time and these sides were never released however they survived to appear alongside shake a leg on the Margaret Lewis album called Lonesome Blue Bird released by Ace Records in 1904 and still in their catalogue one of the recordings on earth for it was a backing track only so Margaret In the meantime a become a successful country music songwriter was prevailed upon to overdubbed the vocals a small matter of 35 years down the line that's the spirit. So much for shaking knees and lakes now for food food. Well I. Want to. Give. You show. Me a check. Of the not. So . Talent. Show. Alex. Sullivan. Should. 3 hip shakers the 1st of them a swan took variation on a John Lee Hooker style Boogie called shake your hips came from the Baton Rouge bass harmonica player Slim Harpo and was the follow up single to his biggest chart success baby scratch my back and number one r. And b. And top 20 crossover pop hit for him in March 966 shake your hips into enjoy anything like that level of success it did at least hover just outside the Hot $100.00 that summer and later became familiar thanks to a revival done by the Rolling Stones on their $972.00 album Exile on Main Street it will be remembered that the Stones at early given Slim's career a shot in the arm to their cover version of the King be on their debut album by the time of Exile on Main Street however slim had been dead 2 years having unexpectedly succumbed to a heart attack in his mid forty's in 1970 the best of slim Harpo's exactly what it says on the cover on a circle it's the next hip shaker was hip shaking Mama by Jackie Lee Cochran also known as Jack the cat no relation to Eddie or indeed Hank Cochran he's real name was Jack was keen Cochran his grandmother was Cherokee and says unusual middle name small in Georgia in 100 $34.00 but is in Texas in the early ninety's fifty's the 1st made his name on the local country music scene seeing Elvis in action cause a dramatic shift in his musical style and the sound of the small Dallas label of Sim's records in $156.00 hip shaking mama with his very 1st single release that summer as well enough received for him to be able to sign to Decker records at the end of that year for whom he released a ruby Pearl but then a dispute arose between Decker and his old manager who was busily trying to cash in on Jackie's newfound fortune the result that his career disappeared under a snow storm a lawyer's writs he gave up in disgust and became a film stunt man for a while and no 2. We're working on Let's Make Love starring Marilyn Monroe and to make sporadic returns the music business in the years that followed hip shaking mama comes from great rockabilly Volume 2 on Smith and Co It shook him on that was followed by hip shaking baby from Roy Brown hip shaking baby may have included his famous catchphrase tonight I'm gonna be your mighty mighty man but otherwise it was an impressive venture into rockabilly for a veteran r. And b. Singer that helps of course that the song been written for him by Johnny and Dorsey Burnett who also obliged by a penny guitar parts on this Roy's final session of the Imperial label which took place in Los Angeles in March 9058 where it experienced a modest revival in his chart fortunes with the Imperial courtesy of a cover version of body Knox's but the Knox's parted all the 1st bashing that's dominoes let the 4 winds blow and sure deserved a little action with this record but none was forthcoming and his contract wasn't renewed Roy Brown the complete impure according is on the Capitol blues collection . Finally an even more intriguing musical hybrids of the not r. And b. a baby come on ladies from both. That was Wayne Raney not to be confused of course with someone with a rather similar name and shake baby shake when Raney was an old time musician who favor the harmonica on you for enough in itself but even stranger was his claim that he didn't come into contact with blues music at all in his formative years is frequently heard on the popular Guitar Boogie numbers brought out in the late ninety's forty's by the Delmore Brothers and then went on to record a little in his own right shake baby shake comes from a one off session he recorded for Decca the end of 9056 curiously enough it's actually a reworking of a big arm be hit by Hank Bard in the Midnighters of 2 years earlier sexy ways this underlying hillbilly feel is going to rock n roll edge by the playing of the great session guitarist Grady Martin I've taken his truck in fact for McGrady Martin compilation called roughneck blue 904-929-0561 the Rev only label Well we're just about all shook up now with this theme of shaking all over though since there are so many other shaking songs to choose from I just may do a sequel before too long. Is it Henry's do box on the b.b.c. . C. S. You're listening to Henrietta's jukebox on b.b.c. Radio Lincolnshire York and Humberside coming up in the 2nd half of the show the much delayed 2nd part of a tribute to the late case star a star in fact as well as in name who made that note of hers in the pre-rock n roll era to continue to score hits through to $967.00 and to finish the Supremes Bobbie Gentry and Aretha Franklin will be Hmong American top 20 newcomers of August 19th 67 this is Rock n roll instrumental it was bopping at the hop by Lee Allen and his band and may have sounded familiar to my seriously long term listeners says it was a signature tune of one of my erstwhile programs Henry's swing club which ran from 2003 to 2007 Lee Allen was a tenor sax oftenest who arrived in New Orleans from his native cancers in the late 19th forties just the right time to profit from the rise of the small jump blues combos that were taking over from the declining big bands he was a regular member of Paul gate and band at 1st switching after a while to that of Dave Bartholomew and so commit heard on many Fats Domino Zoeller recordings but it was as a member of cars a moma Tasa studio house band the sound of his playing reach millions says he took the solo on virtually all of the Little Richard's best known sides in 157 Lees signed to ember Records in New York as a band leader but continued to record down in New Orleans with the with many fellow metastasized men though crucially also with a rising young keyboard player an arranger by the name of Allen Toussaint who was heard rather quietly on organ on that track only Allan's called a top 60 pop hit early 158 with an instrumental called walking with Mr Levy or one of the attempts to follow it up was called strolling with Mr Lee fail to chart but perhaps ember should have promoted the flip side which was a very popular item in lead stage yet that was the number you just heard at the hop hit that might have been but never was a penny from a collection of Allen's and the record is called walking with Mr Levy on Acrobat music. It's called a Thomas next with a woman's love. A I. 7 7 am. A I. Am. Carla Thomas and the woman's love song she co-wrote with Steve Cropper who was flawless guitar work has her to good effect on the recording the single had to settle for a place in the army top 30 and pop top 80 in the winter not 6465 though it is a done better in 9066 Wilson Pickett recast the song as that's a man's way but callers name didn't appear on the writing credits she was understandably very upset about that was with an ace of suing Atlanta records over it maybe if that's a man's way become a hit she would have done a woman's love is on Stax votes the complete singles Volume 4 on Rhino Records. This was just interlude is a soldier's one featuring the organist Jimmy McGriff who had a big hit in one to 62 with an instrumental version of Ray Charles I got a woman he's a track from 3 years later and titled sho nuff. With . . Now a show know if by the organist Jim in the Griff accompanied by Larry Fraser on guitar and Jimmy Smith on drums that Jimmy Smith was no connection with the organist the same name by coincidence the track 1st appeared on a $965.00 lp on the soon label untitled blue so Mr Jimmy almost certainly was dedicated to McGriff fellow walkin ist that album is generally reckoned to be one of the group's finest and a lot of the tracks on it released a singles including sho nuff though and one of them became a hit McGriff being reckoned principally an album artist by this stage I found this on a demographic compilation called the best of the years 9062 to 9065 on stateside. Now for part 2 of a tribute to the late case Star I broadcast part one a small matter of 5 months ago but the loss of Chuck Berry straight afterwards meant that I had to clear the decks for someone whose influence lasted this day Carrie died last November the age of 94 which means she was only 4 years older than Chuck but musically and culturally she seemed to come from an entirely different era but in view of the time that elapsed I think I would have a quick recap a case star was born Catherine Laverne start on an Indian reservation in Daugherty Oklahoma on the 21st of July 1922 her father was a full blooded Iroquois Indian and her mother was part Indian and part Irish when she was still very young her father got himself a job in Dallas where some of her mother's relations lived with encouragement of one of her aunts the 7 year old Kay won a series of talent competitions a weld up with her own 15 minute radio show a move to Memphis a few years later the father got a new job lead to further opportunities and it was seen on a local radio station there that k. By now 15 was heard by the to a manager of the great just violinist Jova Nuti this band was holding down a residency at a local hotel and who was in urgent need of a female vocalist that led to an association that lasted quite a few years on and off by the midnight in forty's Kay by now in her early twenty's was singing and recording of the band of Charlie Barnet and this led a year or 2 later to her being signed up as a solo artist by Capitol Records but Capitol having got k. In their books was slow to realize her potential and gave her relatively few opportunities to make anything of herself until she confound them by scoring a Top 20 hit at the end of $9048.00 with a version of you're only fooling a corny old song with all the company's big female stars had rejected although capital was noted for being a very hip and jazz orientated label they continued to have a blind spot about k. Starr ignoring the fact that she was pulling in big crowds her act at local nightclubs then got her to cover a ghastly novelty number called Who Do. In the summer of 150 recording of this horror made by Perry Como and the Fontaine sisters went all the way to number one K.'s cover was right behind it at number 2 middle east give Kay the confidence and clout to put her foot down and demand a share in choosing her own material she plumb for a cover of a current big country hit by Peewee King called Bonaparte's Retreat and with it duly reached the top 5 once more that takes us to the autumn of 1950 and it's where I got up to in part one of my tribute to costar. Because current hottest property in the country market was Tennessee Ernie Ford and since he'd already begun to cross over into the mainstream he may commercial sense to team up with k. Star to see what the combined forces could achieve the a side of their 1st joint effort ain't nobody's business but my own did quite well reach number 5 country on the 22 point it was the Beside that really cleaned up never be free. Is. Trying to. Satisfy. 2 me. Ok star and Tennessee Ernie Ford duetting on I'll never be free number 1st recorded by Savannah Churchill and then subjected to many cover versions of which ones by Donna Washington and Ilori an amnesty Nolen with Big John Grier or maybe on the top 10 k. And Tennessee in his rendition out so the more in the minority 50 in not only may number 2 country but also number 3 pop becoming a 1000000 seller along the way the 2 singers managed to share top 24 up with oceans of tears but really their futures long different lines k. Had her next solo success before the use out with obeyed and the 1st recorded by Louis Prima and Keely Smith a cover by the Ames Brothers just made the Top 20 but Kate got into the top 10 with her recording Similarly she had another top 10 hit in the summer of 9051 with a novelty number come on the my house but it was Rosemary Clooney version that ruled the roost spending 8 weeks a number. One clearly what Kay Stahl was in desperate need of was something that was hers and hers alone at least as far as the pot market was concerned because case versatility miss you could tackle John's country an r. And b. With equal conviction and that certain something came along in the spring of 9052 when someone or other discovered in the Glick to be recalled called the Wheel of Fortune thing. Well we. Was. We. Was. Me You know I. Was. We'd. Be. Was. Was. A case study on the Wheel of Fortune cover of an arm be recalled to be released in October $9051.00 by drew from Baltimore called the cardinals but subsequently ignored covering r. And b. Record for the mainstream market especially $100.00 prove it so far becoming a hit was still a relative rarity then the case Star a highly talented versus all singer who already got 7 top 10 entries to a credit was as I said before capable of tackling songs in any style with a powerful hard edged voice on the breast. The accompaniment provided by the orchestra or how a Moonie case version of the Wheel of Fortune was a sure fire winner but she didn't have it all or own way because Woodard somehow got out resulting in the usual feeding frenzy around the likely song so Kay had in the end to compete with close on a dozen other cover versions 2 of which by Bobby Wayne and the duo of Eddie Wilcox and Sonny Gale made it into the top 20 K.'s recording however dislodge Johnny Ray's cry from the number one position on the 9th of March 9052 and remain there for 2 months during its 22 week chart residency a nice side effect of his success with the attendant publicity Corps the original recording by the cardinals to make a belated brief appearance in the RB top 10. Capital won't put off from releasing further k. Star Records hand over fist despite the fact that Wheel of Fortune remained a big seller for several months the object to the exercise seemed to be to maintain the singer's profile and provide something new for all the fans who flock to one live shows the quality of material was variable but 3 records charted between the spring and late summer of one to 52 the best of them on the most successful commercially was another cover of a number by an r. And b. Vocal group Food food food. And I met you. When. I'm. Hot. I am. I am. In. This case star with a very accomplished cover version of fool food food which the original spent 6 weeks at Army number one in the autumn of one to 51 courtesy of the Clovers despite not knowing the thought to cover it for the pop market Mind you there were very few of the white singers around capable of tackling it convincingly with the exception of fellow capital artist l m a Morse case Star benefited from a strong backup from the Lunsford's vocal group who are also white as it happens so you manage to realised anyway Fool fool fool do very nicely in the pop charts which number 13 in August 952 the order to conjure up a really big pop hit in the early ninety's fifty's the had to be a novelty feature gimmick to it in order to satisfy jaded musical appetites the veteran songwriter Al Sherman duly obliged with a composition called comes along a love. Love. Love. Love love love love. Love. Love. Everyone around. You. Love. Love. Love love love love everyone around the. That. Case Daar comes along a lot of the how Moonie orchestra has reconvened for this one is exactly com for him to the prevailing notions in 152 of what popular music should be all about carrots a full voice writing over a big and brassy accompaniment for the gimmicky title refrain to act as a hawk as if he couldn't guess the producer was Mitch Miller whose forte was the lowest common denominator musical expression still Kerry gave the usual good account of herself and was rewarded by a return to the top 10 when her new record reason I'm a 9 in of Emma 952 a week later the 1st official British bestselling recall chart was published soon reveal the extent of k. Stars popularity in this country when comes along a love put in its 1st appearance also in the Menai in early December but that was only the beginning because in the last week of January 9053 k. Made history by becoming the 1st female singer to top the British hit parade during her record 16 week residency and I was in a charter then consist of only 12 places by the summer would be over in this country headlining are the London Palladium and that will do us for the 2nd part of my tribute to Kay Starr Part 3 will follow in a fortnight's time I will include the sing a 2nd British hit side by side meanwhile the tracks I play due in part 2 came from the following albums Rock City Boogie a proper introduction to Tennessee Ernie Ford on proper records hits a 52 here in my heart on living era case Star for real on proper records and e.m.i. Presents the magic of k. Star on the m.r.i. . Your listening to Henrietta's jukebox on b.b.c. Radio York Humberside in Lincolnshire coming up now in his final part of the show a selection of the American talk turned to newcomers of August 19th 67 and this being the Summer of Love and a lot you know Supremes dipped a nervous toe into the murky waters of psychedelia in reflections. Those reflections by the Supremes or rather the Diana Ross and the Supremes as they were now being billed the name change coincided with deeper shifts in direction reflections who's one of the last Supremes records to feature the backing vocals of Florence bad France's drinking problems caused by her unhappiness with the way the trio has been heading a little missing several live gigs Eventually she was fired in July 9067 the same month the reflections was released being replaced by Cyndi birdsong a popular bell in the Blue Bells who stood in for her on several occasions and also turned out to be one of the last Supremes records masterminded by Holland Dozier in Holland as the writing and production team have been to a lot. Corns would label boss Berry Gordy over the issue of royalty payments and profit sharing or lack of same from the destabilising undercurrents reflections with his innovative use of synthesizers struck out in a new direction for the Supremes and performed extremely well spending a fortnight at number 2 in America in September 67 and also making the top 5 in Britain and the Netherlands as well as in the Us Army charts Diana Ross in the Supremes The Ultimate Collection is on Motown Records. Were more used to hearing the Beach Boys rather than the Supremes trying out new directions in music their latest effort sort to follow in the Mota textured footsteps of good vibrations. If. My . The Beach Boys and heroes and villains a collaboration between Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks It was meant to be 1st of all the centerpiece of an album project smile that eventually came to nothing and secondly the follow up to the highly acclaimed and popular Good Vibrations Wilson worked on it endlessly recording different sections separately in different ways and in different studios with the intention that he then have the luxury of selecting whichever sections seem to work best both on their own account and in relation to the whole and then reintegrating them inevitably though he created a rod for his own back and found it immensely difficult to stitch the whole thing together in a meaningful way Capitol Records grew increasingly impatient at waiting for the finished product as the months roll by and eventually issued instead an old album track a straightforward cover of then I kissed her in countries other than the USA this so very well a sure sign that the general public could take only so much experimentation when heroes and villains finally appeared it was greeted with some misgivings the disjointed nature of the finished item didn't appeal and neither did the impenetrable lyrics which apparently meant a great deal to Brian Wilson but not to anyone else even such a leading figure in musical experimentation is Jimi Hendrix dismissed the recorders psychedelic barbershop in the event heroes and villains performed modestly rather than disastrously occupy the number 12 slot for the last week in August 9067 and the 1st in September but spending only one other week in the top 20 did better in this country peaking at number 8 in mid September though that was his only week in the top 10 all this side a crippling effect on Brian Wilson self-confidence and mental stability and he thereafter gave up trying to compete with the Beatles in commercial terms and became increasingly withdrawn.
