1. JUKE, Little Walter
Here's an unreleased version from 1958 by---of all people---Billy Vaughn
& His Orchestra!!


Post by Dean
5. BABY, LET’S PLAY HOUSE, Elvis Presley
My pick as his best record evah---and the blueprint for tons of white
rock 'n' roll and rockabilly records that followed
Post by Dean
12. TO BE LOVED (Forever), The Pentagons
A big vocal group favorite of mine that doesn't seem to get much mention
on here. Originally on Fleet International in 1960 then reissued in the
charting version on Donna.

It's a solid 8 on my 1960 list
Post by Dean
14. SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN, The Royal Jokers
Sorry but for me this great song belongs lock stock and teardrops to Ms
Dinah Washington
Post by Dean
16. THE FOOL, Sanford Clark
This side always seemed a little dull to me--always preferred the
"Lonesome For A Letter" flip
Post by Dean
17. HEARTS OF STONE, The Jewels
The orignal and IMO the best version of this much covered hit
Post by Dean
20. BOTTLE TO THE BABY, Charlie Feathers
This is how it started out in January 1956 at the Sun Studio in
Memphis...........



With Jerry Huffman (gtr) Jody Chastain (bs) Johnny Bernero (dms)
Post by Dean
31. MEAN WOMAN BLUES, Roy Orbison
After the past week or so is there anything NEW to say about "Mean Woman
Blues"? :)
Post by Dean
33. READY TEDDY, Little Richard
B/w "Rip It Up" this was Richard's FIRST ever single to get release on
these shores over here
Post by Dean
37. LONELY BLUE BOY, Conway Twitty
Originally recorded by Elvis as "Danny" for his movie "King Creole" but
dropped from the movie


Post by Dean
40. ROCK & ROLL RUBY, Warren Smith
Still have a fond memory of seeing Johnny Cash in concert here in London
one time when he took a song request or two---and bellowing out to him
"Rock 'N' Roll Ruby" (that he penned of course)----and being amazed when
he did a pretty good impromptu version
Post by Dean
43. WIPE OUT, The Surfaris
Possibly the most famous opening of any record ever
Post by Dean
44. (I Wanna) LOVE MY LIFE AWAY, Gene Pitney
I promise I shan't mention again about him being my most famous
customer--but I will mention this being his best ever record IMO
Post by Dean
47. COME SOFTLY TO ME, The Fleetwoods
Dopey pop record but one I always kinda liked. Think it was those
ethereal girlie backing vocals

Was this your last show of the summer? I assume school is back in
session by now.
School is, indeed, back in session. But unless I hear otherwise, I'll be
there next Sunday. It takes time for management to put the fall schedule
together.
