One of many gorgeous doo wop ballads from the era, “There’s a Moon Out Tonight” came from a group of young Italian immigrants from Queens. The Capris, who named their group after the luxury automobile the Lincoln Capri, recorded “There’s a Moon Out Tonight” in just an hour. It sounds like much of the doo wop from the time with its vocal harmonies, ...
A novelty smash written and produced by New Orleans music legend Allen Toussaint, who also plays a piano solo on it, “Mother-in-Law” shot to #1 on the pop and the R&B charts. But the song almost didn’t happen. Unsatisfied with Ernie K-Doe’s shouty vocals, Toussaint threw the song in the trash. Backup singer Willie Harper (or K-Doe, depending on whi...
“Hello Walls” was country singer Faron Young’s first single for Capitol and one of Willie Nelson’s first songs to write. A massive hit, “Hello Walls” hit #1 on the country charts and stayed on the charts for 23 weeks. Although “The Singing Sheriff” placed nearly 100 singles on the country charts throughout his five-decade career, “Hello Walls” was ...
Saxophonist Eddie Harris’s “Exodus” was one of the first jazz singles to be certified gold, selling over a million copies. The tune, which was included on Harris’s debut LP for Vee-Jay, is a cover of Ernest Gold’s theme from the 1960 biblical epic film of the same name. The success of “Exodus” prompted Columbia Records to reissue the Dave Brubeck Q...
This doo wop version of the 1938 pop standard (and popular piano duet) peaked at #18 on both the pop and R&B charts in the summer of ’61. The Cleftones started out as a group of five friends from Queens in 1955. Some lineup changes in the late ‘50s moved the group away from traditional doo wop harmonies and to more of a lead vocal sound, which pave...
Although this groovy, saxophone-driven instrumental was the Mar-Keys’ only hit, they were among the most important Southern soul groups. As the first house band for Memphis’s Stax Records, they played on hits from Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas and others. In 1962, guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald “Duck” Dunn left the group to c...
Before researching for this article, I had no idea that the redheaded actress and sex symbol Ann-Margret had a music career prior to her roles in Bye Bye Birdie, Viva Las Vegas, The Cincinnati Kid, and many other films. I really dig the fuzz guitar on the bluesy rocker “I Just Don’t Understand” – surely one of the first hit songs to feature a guita...
Originally released in 1959, this Grammy Hall of Famer wouldn’t realize its true potential until its re-release in ’61. Penned by Brubeck Quartet alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, “Take Five” would go on to be the biggest-selling jazz single of all time. 2:32 shorter than the album version, the single version (presented here) is a completely different...
