Some great images here, as Tom & Jerrio they toured extensively.

as a copy of the book has landed on my doormat, I thought I add a few phone pics while passing on the below

 

Keith asked me to  mention that it's a limited run of only 150 and they are all numbered and signed.

 

 

 

 

Seems the Boogaloo was still going strong in Philly in late 66 ...

It didn't specify which cities it was hot in … BUT Jerry O's 45 was doing well back then … 

more books like this needed...£13 well spent incs PnP !!!..recommended

Intrigued and very surprised to see  Tony Mason's "Bring the country to the city" at #2 on the WDAS 1966 chart....which presumably meant it got a fair bit of airplay....nearly all the other songs there are much better known

More Jerry O / Jerrio related bits … he seemed to live off his 'boogaloo' connection most of the time but broke from it in his White Whale & Wand days …  @ the Howard Theatre in DC, they organised a special Boogaloo dance contest to coincide with his week long appearances in Nov 67 at the venue (guess he had to select the winning dancers).

used to have karate booga loo but it was stolen by da bitch in bromley 

By the end of the 60's, his live act had moved in a more funky direction …
