Jill Hutchinson (bucs1960) Well, I'll be darned.....I had no idea that the Paragons made that song originally. They are famous for the doo wop classic Florence.

1967 vintage clip!

Bonus Roxy Music cover

(This cover was new to me until I heard it on youtube. Roxy Music really made the song their own without wrecking it.)

Bea | 1830 comments Thanks, Suburbanrockdoll for the Thirteen Senses tune. I had not heard them and it was nice.

EMI does not like Americans to watch music videos on youtube without ads. Thanks Nura for the song - I like it a lot. Here it is in unblocked U.S. video.

I love this song and it is my sister's favorite. I made her some CDs for her car and put it on one disk three different times.........she was thrilled as she rocked on down the road.

Jill Hutchinson (bucs1960) Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes!!!! Didn't Teddy Prendergast sing with them?

Don't You Just Know It - Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sxnXO...


A mainstay in New Orleans back in the day and not well known to the general public but this song was popular.


message 646: by Bea (new)
Apr 28, 2012 07:42PM

Bea | 1830 comments Yep, on the Teddy Pendergast.

The one I know by Huey Smith et al is Rockin' Pneumonia and Boogie Woogie Flu, or was that a cover?

OK, responding to yours:

I Know What I Know - Paul Simon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w3CBd...

I saw him live on a South American tour around the time the "Rhythm of the Saints" album came out. It took me about one song before I was standing on the top of the bleachers and dancing! The band he had would have been worth the price of admission on its own.

(P.S. I consider this thread pure and complete R&R)


message 647: by Jill (new)
Apr 28, 2012 07:54PM

Jill Hutchinson (bucs1960) I'm not sure if that was a cover or not......it has been made by so many. I know that Bobby Marchand made it with Huey Smith but that was not the version that became popular.....so who knows?

You sound like me...jumping up on the bleachers!!!! I even did it when I saw Seals and Crofts and they aren't true rockers.........but so good. One day I am going to make a list of all the bands I have seen in concert......those were the days!!!!

What'd I Say - Ray Charles
