The Andrews Sisters, DON CHARISMA

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy – The Andrews Sisters

Thanks to Seax for the suggestion (In response to Patti Page). I hadn’t heard The Andrew Sisters before … This tune was the one I liked best from a short outing on YouTube – from 1941 !

I’m not quite sure what the genre is called, roughly I’d say “Swing”, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

The Andrews Sisters, DON CHARISMA

“Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” is a song which became a major hit for The Andrews Sisters and an iconic World War II tune that first appeared in the Abbott & Costello comedy film, Buck Privates. It reached number six on the U.S. pop singles chart in early 1941. The song is ranked No. 6 on Songs of the Century. Bette Midler’s 1972 recording of the song also reached the top ten on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

 

“Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song but lost out to “The Last Time I Saw Paris”.

 

The song is closely based on an earlier Raye-Prince hit, “Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar,” which is about a virtuoso boogie-woogie piano player.

Mr Big Stuff - Jean Knight, YouTube, DON CHARISMA

Mr Big Stuff – Jean Knight

Feminist anthem?, or at least that’s what Google told me. Whatever, I guess, I still really like the song, without seeing the need to culturally appropriate good music to attempt to further an identity politics cause. For me largely it’s about talent, not identity.

Jean Knight has charisma and talent, it’s a cool catchy tune, and I like it. Just enjoy the music and the lady’s art.

The Studio Version

The Kinda Live Version

“Mr. Big Stuff” is a song by American singer Jean Knight. The song was recorded in 1970 at Malaco Studio in Jackson, Mississippi at the same session as “Groove Me” by King Floyd. Knight’s single was released by Stax Records because of the persistence of Stax publisher Tim Whitsett, and “Groove Me” by King Floyd, which Whitsett strongly urged Malaco to release, also became a hit. Both songs are defined by two bar, off-beat bass lines and tight arrangements by Wardell Quezergue.

 

Released on Knight’s 1971 debut album of the same title, it became a huge crossover hit. The song spent five weeks at no. 1 on the Billboard Soul Singles chart and peaked at no. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, behind “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” by The Bee Gees. Billboard ranked it as the No. 18 song for 1971. The song went double platinum and the no. 1 Soul Single of the year.

"Take That", Live, Band, DON CHARISMA

Shine – Take That

I think this is another tune that stuck in my head after a TV advert – I think for Morrisons supermarkets in the UK in 2000s … Simple, uplifting, pop music …

“Shine” is the second single taken from Take That’s comeback album, Beautiful World (2006). It became Take That’s sixth consecutive number one single and their tenth number one overall, making them one of only seven acts in the history of the UK charts to have more than nine number one hits. The song is about former Take That member Robbie Williams’ battle with depression.

Patti Page, DON CHARISMA

Old Cape Cod – Patti Page / At The River (English Riviera Mix) – Groove Armada

My first experience of Patti Page was a sample used in Groove Armada’s “At The River”, which I really like in it’s own right. And, then double whammy, I discovered Patti Page’s “Old Cape Cod”, which I really like too.

Two entirely different genres, two great tunes, 40 years apart – 1957/1997. Patti Page has a beautiful voice, and the tune gently caresses, the double Patti at the beginning is charmingly eerie.

Groove Armada’s tune is a much more boisterous EDM, I love that old TB303 analog magic, it’s what first got me into music – analog synths, better than sex, well almost. I prefer the “English Riviera Mix”, and the shorter radio edit.

I have selected the best versions I could find on YouTube for your edutainment, and maybe enjoyment.

Old Cape Cod – Patti Page

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUkxgrpSxpw

“Old Cape Cod” is a song, written by Claire Rothrock, Milton Yakus, and Allan Jeffrey, and published in 1957. The single, as recorded by Patti Page, became a gold record, having sold over a million copies. Having been hailed by “Cape Codders” as the “unofficial Cape Cod Anthem, if ever there was one”, the song has been credited with “putting the Cape on the map” and helping to establish Cape Cod as a major tourist destination.

At The River (English Riviera Mix) (Radio Edit)

“At the River” is a song by British duo Groove Armada. It was released as a single in 1997 on 7″ vinyl, limited to 500 copies. The song appeared on the duo’s debut album Northern Star and again on their second album, Vertigo, released in April 1999.

Sunshine Of Your Love – Cream

What a guitar riff … Classic Clapton/Cream. “Psychedelic Rock”

“Sunshine of Your Love” is a 1967 song by the British rock band Cream. With elements of hard rock, psychedelia, and pop, it is one of Cream’s best known and most popular songs. Cream bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce based it on a distinctive bass riff he developed after attending a Jimi Hendrix concert. Guitarist Eric Clapton and lyricist Pete Brown later contributed to the song. Recording engineer Tom Dowd suggested the rhythm arrangement in which drummer Ginger Baker plays a distinctive tom-tom drum rhythm, although Baker claimed it was his idea.

 

The song was included on Cream’s second album Disraeli Gears in November 1967, which was a best seller. Atco Records, the group’s American label, was initially unsure of the song’s potential. After recommendations by other label-affiliated artists, it released an edited single version in December 1967. The song became Cream’s first and highest charting American single and one of the most popular singles of 1968. In September 1968, it became a modest chart hit after being released in the UK.

(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman – The Kinks (US 12″ Extended Mix)

And now for something completely different (I’d never heard this before, nothing wrong with trying something new) … A reader of my blog’s request :

“(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman” is a song written by Ray Davies that was first released on the Kinks’ 1979 album, Low Budget. The song, inspired by Superman: The Movie, employs a disco beat and lyrics that describe the singer’s wish to be like the fictional character Superman. The song’s disco style was created as a response to Arista Records founder Clive Davis’s request for “a club-friendly record,” despite Ray Davies’ hatred of disco.

The song was released as the lead single from Low Budget, becoming a moderate hit in North America. It has since appeared on numerous compilation and live albums.

Post Your Toilet Roll Humour Here

Seems there’s been a run on toilet paper owing to panic buying. I found a couple of amusing comments on Styx’s latest YouTube video, so to get you started :

Toilet paper manufacturing is on a roll.

 

The situation with the toilet rolls is starting to unravel.

 

“So you prepped?” “Yeah 60 packets of toilet paper” “Good lad”

 

This virus is great news for the New York Times. When the toilet paper runs out, people will start buying newspapers again.

Empty Pasta Shelves – Tesco Watford, UK – Rude And Aggressive Manager

Tesco, Watford, UK – Pasta shelves are completely empty. It was a similar sight in the tinned food aisle, and some of the others. The in-store pharmacy had completely sold out of paracetamol.

The store manager (the guy in the blue shirt in the photo) was quite rude and aggressive towards me for taking the photo, which has never happened before to me in the UK. I ceased and desisted for a quiet life. Not quite sure why he would be annoyed at me taking a photo of empty shelves, maybe he didn’t buy any for himself and now there’s none left ? Or could just be he’s an asshole. My guess is the asshole theory.

The checkout guy was a complete contrast, we had a chat about wearing masks and beards etc. I guess he was bored and having a chat with someone beats scanning items and collecting money, all day, over and over again, just to fill the pockets of his globalist overlords, so they can afford their Krug, Foie gras and Caviar.

Anyway, enough of saying what I actually think, here’s the photo :

It was later popularized in a recording by Fats Domino in 1956, also on Imperial (catalog # 5417), on which the songwriting credit was shared between him and Bartholomew. Most later versions have credited Bartholomew and Domino as co-writers. The baritone saxophone solo is by Herbert Hardesty.
