Joey Dee & The Starliters - Peppermint Twist Part 2

[1olrocker]

Any way we can get both part one and part two edited together so it plays seamlessly and you don't have to click on two different links to hear it?

Great tune & later we got the Young Rascals W/Felix Gene & Eddie from the Starliters

Very cool hearing part 2 ... it's been a long time ... and in stereo as well ... thanks for the posting.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@yporteo Delighted to help out, and in stereo.

The Starliters is considered to be Joey Dee, David Brigati, Larry Vernieri (vocals), Carlton Lattimore (organ), Sam Taylor (guitar) and Willie Davis (drums). Later members of the touring group would include Eddie Brigati (David's brother), Gene Cornish, and Felix Cavaliere - three-quarters of The Young Rascals - as well as guitarist Jimmy James (later known as Jimi Hendrix) and Charles Neville of The Neville Brothers.

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks for the fascinating, hadn't heard about the Hendrix connection.

i had the great experience to be in this band, in 1983-1985 as the guitar player. everyone i met in the buisness are really great people and full of talent. i love this part 2 and have it in my pc recorded from the original 45, but this one sounds cleaner. it's very good sound quality for 1961. yet i still can't figure who some of the vocal parts in the song are done by.

[Beats1976]

That's my grandfather Carlton Lattimore. The organ player

[SirBasildeBrush]

I'm impressed!!

[stratas2]

thats awesome playing and sound ! there's a good chance he was the very best for back then.

[bradentonguy50]

@Beats1976 Is he still alive, by any chance? I always loved his contribution to this group's sound.

[Beats1976]

@bradentonguy50 Yes! He lives in FLA

[harmonystreet]

Davy Brigati is alive and well in Jersey

I talk to him every now and then

He was responsible for the Rascals sound

Wrote alot of their tunes and is heard in the vocals

Super talented guy

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks for the info.

Who sings or says the part "Oh yeah, I like it like that" as Part 2 begins? He's also at the end repeating the other two as they say "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon . . . . " after the sax solo. I've been dying to know this for 15 years!!

[SirBasildeBrush]

You've got me there...took me two listens to actually hear it. You know what answer someone will give don't you - Joey Dee or one of the Starliters.

[theysayim]

Yeah. I like that guy! He's crazy & nutty and he also screams at the end of Part 1 -- giving the song some extra spice, electricity, and 'jolt', if you will.

I wonder what happened to the other Starliter. I've never read or heard anything about him after year one. Don't even know his name. Thanks anyway Mr.deBrush. I'm sure some insider will know.

I've a rockabilly song where you can hear someone say 'cook that turkey' in the background... Never quite knew what he meant.

[stratas2]

thats Dave Brigati

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks for the info.
