It's certainly better than the usual musical fare that accompanies cartoons. It has a somewhat "progressive rock" sound that is vaguely evocative of some Jimmy Webb songs. Do you know who wrote this?
?? What makes you think they only released one single ? Do Is till figure..., Can't let Maggie go, Girl of independent means and a few others
What about them? I never heard of them. Are they a one-single band? If so, tell us what the song was.
they released at least five singles, their biggest hit was I can't let Maggie go , they also released an album called Stories
The Boys Blue - 'You Got What I Want/Take a Heart' (1965) The Boys Blue - Take A Heart both sides written by Miki Dallon and subsequently released by another group from the same city - the Sorrows Boys Blue - Hobo - A to Z of Coventry Bands
The Sonics Inc, Diddy Wah Diddy This isn't The Sonics--another band. And this is a completely different song than the Willie Dixon Diddy Wah Diddy covered by Beefheart, Bo Diddley etc. Next to nothing known about this group, apparently they were Americans based in Thailand in the 60s. Sonics Inc. - Diddy Wah Diddy
I think the video from Alice in Wonderland was put together for YouTube. I don't know who wrote it, but i really like the song. It was once released on one of those "Biggest hits of the 70s" cd's.
The Chances Are - 'Fragile Child' - UK cover of song recorded by the pre-Creedence group the Golliwogs - both versions released in the UK on the same day, 10th March, 1967
Smiles - "Just A Star" (1971) From El Cajon, Calif. For those who've wanted to know anything about that mysterious "Star on a Democratic Flag" song, I have some info for you. : vintageobscura
The Summits, although they had one single which was released on two labels ... 'Hanky Panky' - appears to have been the first release of the song on the Harmon label in June, 1963; produced by the Tokens ("Bright Tunes") Cover versions of Hanky Panky written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich | SecondHandSongs 'He's an Angel' was the A-side SUMMITS He's An Angel single re-released on the Rust label a few months later maybe session singers or group using an assumed name?
The Plebs - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You flip side of Bad Blood Obscure Bands Of The 50's & 60's: The Plebs
Your SHS link says the Raindrops cut it first, in December 1963. When was the Raindrops version actually released?
The Summits version is a note for note copy of The Raindrops version. It took an absolute genius like Tommy James to completely rewrite the song (and a lot of false memory)
The Phantom - "Love Me" I first heard this classic on the great Rockabilly Psychosis comp c. 1985. There is only one word for it: psychotic. Jerry Lott a.k.a. The Phantom
The Raindrops were Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry's group so they surely must have recorded the song first; but their 'That Boy John' 45 with 'Hanky Panky' as the B-side does not appear to have been released until October, 1963 (entered the Billboard Hot 100 on 30th November); apparently some months after the the first release of the Summits version on the Harmon label. The Summits [Girl Group] - He's An Angel The Raindrops [Jubilee] - That Boy John The Raindrops version was also included on their 1963 Jubilee LP, which may have been issued in December, although I cannot find the month of release anywhere The Raindrops - The Raindrops
Hale & The Hushabyes - "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" (1964) Backing vocals: Darlene Love, Brian Wilson, Jackie De Shannon, and Sonny and Cher! Produced by Jack Nitzsche
"Fairy Queen" and "Riding on a Rainbow," the two sides of a 45 RPM single that contains the only songs recorded by Tami Stronach, who played the Childlike Empress in The Neverending Story (1984)
Were many Golliwogs records released in the UK? You'd think Fantasy would have worried about getting them played in the Bay area before going international.
