    Perhaps she (Eloise) might have been censored if she was as well known as the Kingston Trio.

    They were able to sing the D-word on the LP

    The Kingston Trio - New Frontier

    but they and/or Capitol did not want to sacrifice airplay on the single.

    Bobby Long - Jersey City
    Borrowing more than a little from Wilbert Harrison's 1959 hit about another city, including the same guitar player, "Wild" Jimmy Spruill

    I wonder if Ace will ever do a Loudermilk collection in that Writers-Producers series.

    I don't think I've heard his original of that song, very nice!

    I have one of those PD label collections but of course it only goes up to 1962 era songs. A Loudermilk. tribute cd was issued in 2017 featuring well-known artists doing covers.

    Johnny Fisher - Tell Me Yes (Emmy 1003) - '61

    2nd record to use phasing. Supposedly was a response to Toni Fisher's (no relation I believe) 'Big Hurt' from '59 and the first disc to feature phasing. Both discs are mega cool. Psychedelia starts here :)

    Had to hear that. Doesn't impress like The Big Hurt but maybe because the sound on this video is very poor quality?
