Interesting articles this week in Bits & Pieces. Legal action brought about by some radio stations playing Day In The Life-Beatles before album release. LS Bumblebee getting some attention, also.Also an announcement that The Beach Boys next single release will not be Heroes & Villians, but Vegetables. But it didn't turn out that way.

ReplyDeleteback in 67. I thought it was
a weird title. But I think that
song is older than you think.
From the 20s?
Look it up in your Funk & Wagnal ??
Couple of notes:
ReplyDelete1: "Dead end Street" by Lou Rawls
is never played again. Another
chicago ghetto story.
Cabrini Green had a lot of stories,
I guess.
I always did like the song, though.
Along with "Give a Damn" by
Spanky & our gang. ALso, "In the
ghetto" by Presley. They too relate
to ghetto problem in Chicago but have a universal message. Thus
their popularity.
2: Nancy Sinatra had 3 songs in
the top 40. Nice to have a daddy
that was the chaiman of Reprise.
Just a couple of observations.
