Heavens to Murgatroid! What a BLAST of a number! If these cats were any more cool, they'd be frozen! Strictly from wowsville, daddy-o! THANK YOU for posting it for us to enjoy; you've MADE my day & my weekend, fellow hep cat! :)
@ClassicsWEREandARE ... Well 3 Years after this Film Sal Mineo Played "Gene Krupa" in Film of his life... "Gene Krupa Story"...1959.... So if he could not play he must have learnt well to pass it off ......... Cheers The UK TeddyBoy
The guys in the background with the striped suits are a band known as the Heartbeats with non other than Roy Buchanan on Guitar. I've been looking for this for years. Can anyone post the video of the Heartbeats playing in this movie???
After listening just again, it doesn't sound like Barney Kessell, granted that he did a lot of these kind of sessions (playing the parts for adolescent actors playing teenage rock musicians). Sounds like Mickey Baker. But who really is it, it don't knows for me. But he was a bad guitar player (in the good sense).
would anyone have a version of this with a better sound? This is awesome footage!

This is from a Movie and sound-track called "Rock Pretty Baby".
Could somebody please post the rest of the songs? Pretty please??
I wish John Saxon did a better job faking on the guitar.

Someone on different thread said guitarist is Barney Kessell. I was right, Barney knew what he was doing with a guitar.

No, this is not Barney Kessell.

Ok then, who is it?
How you know isn't Barney?
Does sound rather like Mickey Baker, I think.
I gotta know.
The cat knows.

I don't for sure. But I have seen him in person and in many photos from that period and it sure doesn't look like him. I wish I knew who this is.

That guitar solo was crazy bad (in the good sense). Whoever did knew his way around his instrument.
