BOS the Jaynetts, Sally Go 'Round the Roses. This was covered by a band from Austin called the Damnations about 8 years ago, which was where I first heard it (wash't really following the charts in '63, alas).

This guy Pat is hitting on all cylinders, imo. The Gentrys tune (Keep on Dancin') is another one I learned about via a cover version (the Skeletons, pride of Springfield MO), but everything we've heard so far has been top-notch.

Ah, Jackie Wilson, a longtime Davefave. Deservedly so.

This is likely to be the shortest set ever as well.  Will be done before 10:30 unless Pat has chosen an epic from 1970.

This is one of 4 Jackson 5 songs that Dave plays in 1970, along with "I Want You Back", "ABC" & "The Love You Save".

well, technically they only HAD 4 hits in '70; even I'm not crazy enuf to expect J-5 album tracks, even if a couple B-sides ("Who's Lovin' You", "I Think I Found That Girl") got serious AM play.

10/10/2007 - Wednesday-A Vertical Tasting
10 GREAT songs from 10 GREAT October 10s. 1961 to 1970
 
1.  The Dovells - Bristol Stomp (The kids look sharp as a pistol)  
2.  Chris Montez - Let's Dance  
3.  The Jaynetts - Sally Go 'Round The Roses  
4.  Roy Orbison - Oh Pretty Woman (BEST OF SET!!)  
5.  The Gentrys - Keep On Dancin'  
6.  ? & The Mysterians - 96 Tears (BEST OF SET!!)  
7.  Jackie Wilson - Higher & Higher (BEST OF SET!!)  
8.  The Grass Roots - Midnight Confessions  
9.  CCR - Green River  
10.  Jackson 5 - I'll Be There

No bonus track listed on the KFOG page, but I think it was Maggie May. I caught just the end, but that would be the right year.

Anyone else notice that the sound fidelity seemed to get a whole lot better around 1966?

I have a deep distaste for the Dovells, Montez, and Gentrys tracks, but that's overshadowed by the sheef OMG-ness of going so far back.  BOS on the upcoming replay to "Sally Go 'Round the Roses," which Grace Slick and the Great Society used to cover in concert.  Apparently some people believe it's about closeted lesbianism.  "They won't tell your secret ..."

HM to Grass Roots, a song that used to hit very close to home for me.  And to the J5, which I TANCoincidentally heard last week at the dentist's.

Yes, Grace used to sing this song too.  Tim Buckley too if my old brain still works.  When I first noticed the "ahead of its time" comment, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, and here it is.  I doubt that it's about closeted lesbianism, but I have no standing to make that judgement.  I do however realize I've been partly 'mondegreening' this song all this time (yes, I remember the original).  I used to always sing along "Roses, steak and perfume" even while hearing that "the roses they can't hurt you!"

For me, 1961 was the borderline between the old rock and the modern rock.

Not really my kind of music but considering how rare this is for KFOG, I guess it's OK. They must of really dug really deep to find these records. I'm sure most aren't in the normal library.
Title: Sally and Roy
Post by: ggould on October 10, 2007, 10:16:24 PM
listening closely, I could swear the chorus echoes "The roses want to tell your secret" even after the lead sings "They won't tell your secrets."  I could clearly hear the extra syllable.

I've heard Pretty Woman so many times, it doesn't seem like an oldie!

I'd never heard the lesbianism theory before today, but by "ahead of it's time" I simply meant that in 1963 girl-group records didn't sound like that. It's not about a guy. It's very later-'60s folky. Quite the anomaly.

Title: Jackie Wilson Says...

This is probably one of those "perfect" records.  Bubblin' bass line, crisp rhythm guitar, great backup singers, and that voice!
Title: The verticalness of it all
Post by: ggould on October 10, 2007, 10:30:58 PM
This is quite striking to me.  1961/1962 is the start for me of a constant listening to the radio, every day, every week, waiting to hear the top 20 (or 30 or 40, depending on the station) and taking it all very seriously.  By the time we hit CCR, I'm in college, and as much as I like the Jackson 5, was no longer listening to Top 40 radio by 1970.

Very happy to have been wrong -- I'm wondering how closely they monitor the reaction to these things.
