Ask Mr. Music by Jerry Osborne

FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 26, 2012

DEAR JERRY: My favorite year for pop music is 1961, partly because I lived in Los Angeles then, the home of many of the top record companies, and plenty of wonderful radio stations to play their new releases.

My favorite, KRLA 1110 (King Radio Los Angeles) took pride in always having some songs on their playlist that were NOT found in the national Top 100. Many stations would not play anything until it became an established hit.

On their printed Top 30 Tunedex surveys, they sometimes put an asterisk next to records "you won't hear anywhere else."

Any chance I could get a list of those? I would be so thankful!
—Marie McDonald, Indianapolis


DEAR MARIE: Okay, I get the Thanksgiving reference. Only a curmudgeon could deny your request.

As you correctly imply, there always have been leaders and followers in radio. KRLA was clearly willing to take a chance on an unknown song or artist.

You have, however, overstated the meaning of their asterisk. Used in this context, it indicated songs not being played at that time by station "Brand X," their primary Top 40 competitor, the more musically conservative KFWB.

Many of these selections were regional hits in other markets, but none had an impact nationwide.

Some are generally unknown today, even by oldies aficionados, while others are deeply ingrained in R&R or R&B culture.

Chronologically, here is part one of a year's worth of KRLA Top 30 singles, none of which ever reached Billboard's Top 100:

January: "You're the One" (Spiders); "You're Gonna Be Paid" (Vernon & Jewell); "Girl in the Window" (Bobby Hart); "Green Stamps" (T-Birds)

When originally issued, in January 1954, the ballad "You're the One," and the up-tempo side, "I Didn't Want to Do It" (Imperial 5265), both made the R&B Top 10 for the Spiders. The repackage, with "Tennessee Slim" on the reverse (Imperial 5714) did not fare nearly as well in the pop market.

Vernon & Jewell never charted nationally, but are somewhat known for their 1964 revival of "A Rockin' Good Way" (Kent 405), a 1960 hit for Dinah Washington & Brook Benton.

Speaking of duos, Bobby Hart & Tommy Boyce went big time in 1967, especially with "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonite." Bobby's "Girl in the Window" (Era 3039) was just one of his pre-Boyce & Hart releases.

The T-Birds' "Green Stamps" (Chess 1778) was a very commercial tie-in with the 1960s trading stamp craze, and it deserved a better fate.

February: "Tonk Game" (Hank Marr); "Depend on Me" (Miracles); "A Night with Daddy 'G'" (Church Street Five) "Tonk Game" (Federal 12400) may have been hindered by sounding so much like "Honky Tonk" (Bill Doggett). Marr's follow-up was even a remake of Doggett's "Ram-Bunk-Shush."

How the beautiful "Depend on Me" (Tamla 54028) flopped is a mystery. It's one of Smokey Robinson's best ballads. Around the same time, "You Can Depend on Me," an entirely different song, hit the charts for Brenda Lee.

Three months later, Gary "U.S." Bonds" added words to the instrumental "A Night with Daddy 'G'" (Legrand 1004), renamed it "Quarter to Three" (Legrand 1008), and rode it to No. 1 nationally. This is why Gary gives a shout-out to "a band called the Church Street Five," and the "swingingest song there could ever be is A Night with Daddy 'G'."

March: "The Closer You Are" (Channels); "Be Sure (My Love)" (Dubs); "Sparkle and Shine" (Four Couquettes)

Here we have the third issue of "The Closer You Are" (Port 70014), and, as in 1956 and '59, it didn't catch on nationally.

Likewise was the fate of "Be Sure (My Love)," first released in 1958 (Gone 5034). Both are among the greatest R&B doo-wop records ever, and both did make KRLA's Top 20.

"Sparkle and Shine" (Capitol 4534) is a female doo-wopper that soared all the way to No. 6 in the Land of 1110. Immediately after "Sparkle and Shine," the quartet changed their name to the Four Cal-Quettes.

April: "So Sick" (Lucky Clark); "My Diary" (Carol Connors)

Lucky was unlucky in love and sales. "So Sick" (Chess 1782) had everything necessary to be a hit, that is except radio exposure beyond Southern California. After his gal moved on, he says "It made me sick, ooh so sick, I'd have to get a little better to die."

Carol Connors (nee, Annette Kleinbard), Phil Spector, and Marshall Leib were the Teddy Bears, whose "To Know Him Is to Love Him" hit No. 1 nationally. But going solo, neither "My Diary" (Columbia 41976) nor any of Carol's singles ranked in the Top 100.

May: "Lil' Ole Me" (Cornbread & Jerry); "Girl Machine" (Johnny Walsh); "Our Parents Talked It Over" (Kathy Young and the Innocents)

"Lil' Ole Me" (Liberty 55322) features pianist Jerry Smith, who in 1963 played on the Dixiebells' "[Down At] Papa Joe's" and "Southtown, U.S.A." Jerry then had his own hit in 1969 with "Truck Stop."

Inspired by a 1960 regional hit, "Robot Man," by Connie Francis and covered by Jamie Horton, "Girl Machine" (Warner Bros. 5196) finds Johnny Walsh also yearning for a mate of the artificial life form variety.

Sandwiched between two great recordings by Kathy Young, "Happy Birthday Blues" and "Magic Is the Night," is "Our Parents Talked It Over" (Indigo 121). It is on a par with her other tunes, and should have at least registered a blip nationally.

Next week: the rest of 1961

The Who - The Studio Albums (Vinyl LP Box Set)

Audiophiles and Rock Fanatics, Rejoice: All 11 of The Who's Studio Albums Pressed on 14 x 180g LPs: 1965's My Generation through 2006's Endless Wire

Mastered by Jon Astely and Miles Showell at Close to the Edge and Metropolis Studios

Lavish Set Features Original LP Artwork with Posters, Inserts, and More!

 

The world's greatest rock band. The Who, stands alone in rock music. The most explosive live act ever to appear on stage, the most musically inventive and structurally innovative band of all time! Propelled by the most staggeringly brilliant rhythm section in all popular music, layered with deafening power chords and thunderous vocal fury, The Who transcended its original billing as "Maximum R&B." Together, the four divergent personalities of The Who produced a hurricane. Each of them was a pioneer. Wildman drummer Keith Moon beat his kit with a chaotic elegance; stoic bassist John Entwistle held down the center with the melodic virtuosity of a solo guitarist; raging intellectual Pete Townshend punctuated the epic universality of his songs with the windmill slamming of his fingers across his guitar strings; and Roger Daltrey roared above it all with an impossibly virile macho swagger. They exploded conventional rhythm and blues structures, challenged pop music conventions, and redefined what was possible on stage, in the recording studio, and on vinyl. Never before or since has spiritual and intellectual brilliance sounded so gloriously furious. Alone among the great bands, The Who has found itself at the center of every major rock event - Monterey, Woodstock, the Isle of Wight, the Concert for Kampuchea, Live Aid, the Concert for NYC. In any era, The Who is a touchstone for rock and roll greatness. They have sold more than 100 million albums and won every award including Grammys/Brit Awards/Lifetime Achievement. They have been inducted into both the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and UK Music Hall of Fame. Their charitable work is legendary with millions of dollars raised over the years for a variety of causes.

Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited II (Vinyl 4-LP + CD) Import 2012 (White Vinyl)

 

If you love quality rock music, then you will certainly have heard Steve Hackett's work on some of the greatest songs of the past four decades. Whether with Genesis, GTR or on his solo output, the man has been a giant of the prog genre. The success he enjoyed with Genesis on six acclaimed studio albums allowed Hackett to subsequently become a consummate and powerful artist in his own right. All you have to do is check out the breadth and depth of the music on his solo records to appreciate that the man has grasped the opportunity to be in control of his own destiny. To create impassioned music that has never become rooted in clichés or stuck in a rut. His latest album basks in the title of 'Genesis Revisited II'. A follow-up to 1996's 'Genesis Revisited', as the title suggests, it sees the guitarist reinterpreting the golden era of the great band - one in which he was crucially involved - while also remaining true to the original spirit which produced such a remarkable string of timeless songs.

"This time around, I've tried to satisfy what everyone wants, including myself. Initially, I was thinking of just going for the best songs not featured on the first album. But then people thought I should do those tracks where the guitar was emphasized. So, I've done both. I've also included four songs, which have Genesis connections, where the song was written originally for the band, or rehearsed by them. For instance, there's 'Please Don't Touch', which I wrote for Genesis, but eventually ended up recording myself."

Go back to the seminal Golden Era with Steve Hackett and his guests as they honor a truly unforgettable music legend.

Rodriguez - Searching For Sugar Man (Vinyl LP) 2012 (White Vinyl + Poster)

The story remains one of the music world's most unusual tales of the 1970s: an obscure debut LP by a Detroit singer-songwriter becomes a source of hope and inspiration to the anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa. Now, the story of Rodriguez and his cult album Cold Fact is the basis for Searching For Sugar Man, a riveting new documentary by filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul. Light In The Attic Records in partnership with Sony Legacy are honored to announce the release of the original motion picture soundtrack, comprising tracks from Cold Fact and its 1971 follow-up Coming From Reality - both reissued in 2008 and 2009 by Light In The Attic. The soundtrack begins with the otherworldly "Sugar Man" and acts as a primer to this long-overlooked musician's fusion of gritty funk, political poetry and blissful psych-folk.

RODRIGUEZ - COLD FACT (VINYL LP) 2012

First Official Reissue! Mastered from the original tapes Co-produced by Motown guitar god Dennis Coffey & Mike Theodore Featuring members of legendary Motown players The Funk Bros. Limited Edition Vinyl LP feat. 180 gram records Its one of the lost classics of the 60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion. The album is Cold Fact, and whats more intriguing is that its maker a shadowy figure known as Rodriguez was, for many years, lost too. A decade ago, he was rediscovered working as a menial day laborer in Detroit, Michigan. He was unaware that his defining album had become not only a cult classic, but for the people of South Africa, a beacon of revolution. Rodriguez recorded Cold Fact his debut album in 1969, and released it in March 1970. Its crushingly good stuff, filled with tales of bad drugs, lost love, and itchy-footed songs about life in late 60s inner-city America. Gun sales are soaring/Housewives find life boring/Divorce the only answer/Smoking causes cancer, says the Dylan-esque Establishment Blues. But the album sank without trace, thanks, in part, to some of Rodriguezs more idiosyncratic behavior, like performing at an industry showcase with his back to the audience throughout. When the follow-up, 1972s Coming From Reality, also sold poorly, Rodriguez called an end to his recording career. Hed never even played a proper gig. And he got on with life. Over the years, he turned his hand to local politics, gaining a degree in philosophy, factory work and eventually, hard labour.

GRATEFUL DEAD - LIVE IN WINTERLAND (VINYL 2- LP) 2012 (PRE-ORDER 11-26)

The Grateful Dead made the historic Winterland its home for many years until its closure in 1978. The confines of the former ice-skating rink always seemed to bring out something special in the band. This is certainly true of the group's May 30, 1971 performance which was recorded while the band were at their peak; an era immortalized on the 1971 live collection Skull and Rose. For the first time, a portion of the 1971 Winterland show (which is all that the band has in their vault), will be released on a limited edition 180g double LP set sourced from the original reels of ¼" tape. Artwork comes courtesy of Grammy winning graphic artist Masaki Koike who has created a cover that evokes that of the Skull and Roses album. It's over one hour of Grateful Dead classics packed with crowd pleasers like "Sugar Magnolia," "Truckin'" and "Deal." One entire LP side is dedicated exclusively to "Turn On Your Lovelight," a 15-minute-plus romp led by singer/organist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan. For its encore, the band - Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and McKernan - capped the evening off with a raucous cover of "Johnny B. Goode."

Release date: 11/26/2012

Ask Mr. Music by Jerry Osborne

FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 19, 2012

DEAR JERRY: Last summer while driving down the California coast, in the area between San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria a radio station played what sounded very much like a Beach Boys song.

I thought I knew all of their music, but this one was new to me.

The beat and backing sounded a bit like "Little Deuce Coupe," but this is not a car song. Based on the lyrics the title might be "Can't Take That Away from Me."

Is this a recent recording, or a newly discovered track from the 1960s?
—Austin Willis, Racine, Wis.

DEAR AUSTIN: It is a fairly recent recording, issued just one year before your coastal adventure.

In 2009, Brian Wilson was asked by the family of George and Ira Gershwin to create an album of Gershwin compositions, but interpreted however he saw fit.

The completed album came out in August 2010, on vinyl and CD, titled "Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin" (Disney/Pearl 637101).

The track that, at least musically, reminds you of "Little Deuce Coupe," and other folks of "Little Saint Nick," is "They Can't Take That Away from Me."

Surprising even Brian, the estate also entrusted him with over 100 unfinished works by the Gershwins to consider adding to the project. From this treasure trove, he chose "The Like in I Love You" and "Nothing But Love."

With his rare talent in overdrive, Brian weaved these two into 21st century gems, especially "Nothing But Love."

The other Gershwin chestnuts "reimagined" by Brian are: "Rhapsody in Blue"; "Summertime"; "I Loves You Porgy"; "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'"; "It Ain't Necessarily So"; "'S Wonderful"; "Our Love Is Here to Stay"; "I've Got a Crush on You"; "I Got Rhythm"; "Someone to Watch Over Me"; plus the downloadable bonus tune, "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off."

"Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin" reached the Top 30 on Billboard's mainstream albums chart, then astounded many people by climbing to No. 1 on their jazz albums chart.

Yes, the JAZZ chart!



DEAR JERRY: Regardless of whether or not they were successful as a musician or performer, who wrote the most No. 1 pop-rock hits?
—Della Stevenson, Jackson, Tenn.



DEAR DELLA: Following industry guidelines, we must treat co-composers and solo writers equally. This means it is how the writers in teams are credited rather the quality or quantity of each contributor. Results reflect Billboard and Cash Box surveys.

Sir James Paul McCartney has written 32 No. 1 hits, while his famous cohort, John Lennon, is the runner-up with 26. Both Paul and John receive credit for 20 chart-toppers by the Beatles: "I Want to Hold Your Hand"; "She Loves You"; "Can't Buy Me Love"; "Love Me Do"; "A Hard Day's Night"; "I Feel Fine"; "Eight Days a Week"; "Ticket to Ride"; "Help!"; "Yesterday"; "We Can Work It Out"; "Paperback Writer"; "Penny Lane"; "All You Need Is Love"; "Hello Goodbye"; "Get Back"; "Hey Jude"; "Come Together"; "Let It Be"; and "The Long and Winding Road." The only one they didn't write is "Twist and Shout."

They likewise share two No. 1 tunes waxed by other artists: "A World Without Love" (Peter and Gordon) and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" (Elton John).

As for post-Beatles hits, Paul has 10 (the first seven are with Wings): "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey"; "My Love"; "Band on the Run"; "Listen to What the Man Said"; "Silly Love Songs"; "Let 'Em In"; "With a Little Luck"; "Coming Up (Live at Glasgow)"; "Ebony and Ivory" (with Stevie Wonder); and "Say Say Say" (with Michael Jackson).

Lennon has three solos, "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," "(Just Like) Starting Over," and "Woman," plus David Bowie's "Fame."



IZ ZAT SO? Only twice in the vinyl era did an artist get bumped from the No. 1 chart position by a different one of their own songs, then replace that one with yet another of their entries

Who they are comes as no surprise:

Elvis Presley (August 18 - December 8, 1956): "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel," and "Love Me Tender" (16 total weeks). The Beatles (February 1 - May 9, 1964): "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You," and "Can't Buy Me Love" (14 total weeks).

AC/DC Releases Entire Catalog On iTunes

Columbia Records and Apple announced today that AC/DC's music will be available at the iTunes Store worldwide. Sixteen studio albums will be released.  AC/DC was one of the few acts that would not release music through the digital outlet. The Beatles and Kid Rock were also against selling music on iTunes, but have since relented (maybe it has something to do with the money they can make!).   Four of AC/DC's live albums and three compilation records are also available. The statement said the songs have been mastered for iTunes "with increased audio fidelity."
