The 'Huns' Review'.....what's that all about? unsure.gif

I have been told that the Huns Review was the band, and the Soul Brothers feature on the vocal.

JOHN & the WEIRDEST, you can't get a more weird name than that!

"Can't Get Over These Memories/ No Time" are fantastic recordings, but a strange choice of group name. I beleive this is Johnny Hendley and group.

The term 'review' was used by performing acts that would have multiple personas - for example, they would do a set as a stripped down R&B act, then a set with some 'special guest' vocalist (if the primary singer was male, the special guest would be a woman), and a set of ballad/torch songs. They don't mean review like a movie review.

Godoy Colbert; Willie Colon; Gamma Goochee (Himself)unsure.gif eh?

Off at a tangent I know but I'm still awestruck whenever I recall 1970s boxer's 'ring monickers' from my youth. Personal faves include

Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini; John 'The Beast' Mugabe and my all-time personal fave: Dave 'The Chatteris Fen Tiger' Boy Green laugh.gif (Who, from memory, was kin bobbins)

Is actually Demetriss Trapp. She made loads of records in the 60's, must have been well known

...er, better make that 'Tapp', mate. She was indeed quite well known as a songwriter, she was married to Bob Tubert (himself a fairly high profile Country songwriter and producer). Good looking woman, too....

Are you sure, I thought she was a member of the famous Von Trapp family who recorded some cool stuff in Austria many years ago...

Were they having a laugh when Veep put out a track by Willie and the Handjives???wanker.gifunsure.gif

Nah, tis a great tunethumbsup.gif

They were surely referencing Johnny Otis with all his Handjive tunes- one of which was entitled

"Willie and the Handjive"

but I'll chuck in Tim Tam and The Turn Ons.
