Best Sound By White Artist Played Upto 73


shelly

Recommended Posts

also forgot but not unfortunately Lada Edmund Jr The Larue, recorded in 66 but not sure about the first playing.

Moss' 60th party today!

Lada Edmund is Black

The used a white girl to promote it, even with pictures but apparently the real singer is a black session singer

there is a history somewhere on here

Sounds like wishful thinking to me, though I can't think why anyone would want to doubt it's her singing. Lada Edmund Jr was a go go dancer on the TV show Hullabaloo and is the epitome of 60s groovyness.

Compare the voices on this clip:

Forgot all about Solomon King. P.J. Proby's cut of That's the Tune was deffo Torch period.

The LA Power & Light Co - Let's Spend Some Time Together.

When was Shirtails first played, I remember it from early Wigan but can't remember when I first heard it.

Dalton Boys - I've Been Cheated

Debbie Dean - Why Am I Loving You

One of THE classic NS sides of all time :ohmy:

The DB were a country duo / act at the time of signing with Motown , and given the nature of the vocals on " IBC " , it was somewhat of a change from their normal renditions of songs in their act I would assume .

If I can get my printer to fettle and copy a photograph I have of them , I will post up it up .

In respect of The Dalton Boys , here in all their glory , are that pair of jolly rascals .....

That's a first, story was that it was recorded by the Beatles as they where in the States at that time and had visited Motown and asked to do a number.

Owing to contractual obligations they couldn't use the name the Beatles etc.

Listen to the Oh Yeahs and almost a Mandolin in there....., I didn't know they did scouse in Detriot.

Anyway, a total lack of information about the "Dalton Boys", not suprising then that it was Alan Day who first played it.

Lada Edmund Jr is white, The Larue was released under her name on Decca 1966, if she actually recorded it then that's a new thread, "who recorded under false names or took some one elses work"

me thinks she actually sung it on the Andy Williams Show, will consult with Jack Bollington, he's ace on trivia.

There's nothing like us getting our priorities in the right order, I mean, Japan is in meltdown, we're off for another regime change/war because we backed the wrong horse in Libya and yet we're discussing the ethenticities of Lada Edmund Jr!

Where has this story originated from ? The Dalton Boys are The Beatles ? sorry , but it is as far fetched as manure from China .

The vocal phrasings on " IBC " are nothing like the vocal phrasings of the main Beatle vocalists , i.e. Lennon and McCartney , nowhere near the vocal strains of Harrison , and certainly a million miles from the singing " style " of Ringo on recordings that were made around the same time as " IBC " .

Slightly confused regarding your comment associating a lack of information about TDB with alan Day first playing it : care to enlighten us ?

I still don't get why people think it's not her singing. She sounds the same on all of her records. Maybe your getting her mixed up with the Beatles as they were a bunch of black guys who dressed themselves up as the Dalton Boys in order to sell more records in Japan and Libya. As far as made up words go though, 'ethenticities' is right up there. :thumbsup:

Story was that back in 73 when it was first played by Alan Day and no info was available, reliable sources who had recently been to the US came back with this story, and without seeing their pics and listening, it's not that too far off! but again, depends on the acoustics where you are. Plus Alan was up yo all sorts of tricks!

Personally. glad you've cleared this up.

Mr Godzilla

First of all apologise for my typo, it should read ethnicty's

I understand your comments to some extent, but as you weren't at the all nighters when the said records where first played; they didn't let people in the Torch in short tousers( you birth year is 1959 according to your profile) so lets not get too agressive here and your comments about selling into Libya/Japan are misguided irrespective of politics..

This was a thread to awaken all to the amount of white recorded sounds we danced too and in reality didn't realise it.

There are c 100 different sounds mentioned so far , and as this is prior to 1973 then it is of interest to some of us. Wigan increased this by a factor of N+ ,hence it's general omission.

However, given the quality of most of the contributions, I'd say this was an anorak devoid thread and one of interest to those of us who discovered sounds a long time after we danced to them.

Godzilla,

Ignore my rambling above, had about a zillion + 1 pints yesterday watching that shower of shit that is supposed to be Englands rugby team.

No offence meant.

Shelly

No sweat Shelly - I was only joshing with you anyway. Did manage to find a pic of me in short pants at Twisted Wheel though :hatsoff2:

Last one promise,

? & the Mysterions - 96 Tears

I reckon there's a hundred plus different sounds mentioned on this thread, so in reality could have a mini niter listening to "white artists", all we need to now is to discover that stash of White bombers hidden under a chicken shed near Crewe.

Good Jazz record, and I wasnt around so... but is this really northern rather than just a mod jaz record played in the same clubs?

There's a cover version of this that's being doin the rounds recently, it's on one of the other forums and nowhere near as good a version.

Stirrin up Some Soul was played at Wigan late 73, remember (god knows how)being one of he first in one night with Gray, anyway as it was empty and it was one of the first records played, the sound virtually pinned us against the wall, and no it wasn't the DS in disguise!

No, with thought, the sound that pinned us against the wall was Sandy Nelson -Sock it to em JB, but the Marketts was next.

When was the Vogues - That's the Tune first aired?

Shelly

STIRRIN was deffo/deffo late Torch...

This came up in a zillion pint conversation last night, Bill Black's Combo -Little Queenie, I never dreamt they where white.

Also, not mentioned before Bob Kuban-The Cheater,

Lastly, Alvin Cash and the Register(nee Crawlers) are not white and never where.

BB and the members of his combo , were indeed white . BB was the bass player .

Not sure as to who played the sax on " LQ " : it was either Martin Wills , or Ace Cannon .

Really suprised to see helen shapiro in there. I always associate it with the dreadful british label pop boom of 1978 by the likes of nev wherry and keith minshull.
