Dr.Buzzard - Dinah Shore TV Show: I'll Play The Fool - Dr.Buzzard's Original Savannah Band

[fanofprotopic]

Coati: I've always pronounced it "BuzZARD" is that incorrect?

[SummerLove217]

So much outstanding talent. The memories. The music and performance sends me back...

[nowinqb131]

Respond to this video... Makes me proud to be from the BX. Classy performance from a classy band. Mom dukes had this album in heavy rotation when I was a kid. LEGENDARY.

[universityofwtmp]

Man you better dance! Ha ha!

[PositveBlackBrothers]

Man, this is classic

[ssballs]

Thanks for posting.Amazing sound,still.The whole album.

[drfuzzy23]

Thanks for posting Mr. Mundi! Obrigado voce!

[vilap18]

Believe it or not I still have the vinyl and although I played the heck out of it, it's still in darn good shape! I loved this lp!!

I just played it for a friend of mine, she could not believe she'd never heard of this group before (she's 51). She is buying asap!!

[olsoneric1]

Man this tune takes me back to good times. Really musically advanced arrangements. I wore out this record in college.

[helios1912]

Hello Coati Mundi, Vibe player, thanks for digging into your treasure chest for these great clips-this sound touched a social nerve ending (and still touches mine) --I still play my LP--touring coming up?

[bellaalma]

That modulation at 1:50 is simply devine!!!

Thanks so very much for sharing all these wonderful videos. I am such a fan of the Dr. Buzzard/Kid Creole/Coati Mundi network with all its related artists. One of my biggest regrets is being too young to see you guys live back in the day. What a FANTASTIC collective of talent - lyrics, composition, musicianship and showmanship. Thank you for sharing it with us - then and now.

[ToobDude1]

Thanks for posting, Coati! I've been following you and August for years from Dr Buzzard to Kid Creole!  I have most of your albums and wish there were more.

[ancarazo]

Hey were you a teenager when you guys recorded that album? Wiki has you born in 1963 so that made you a teenager when you guys played the Dinah Shore show. I miss DBOSB!! Music of my teenage years!

[adhadh1]

Thanks to Coati Mundi, the Browder/Darnell Bros. and Cory Daye (the most tragically underrated/underexposed singer of all time) for giving the world such wonderful music. I was only 4 when this was recorded, and I'm not a bid oldies guy, but I can't live without this music.

[catcookie]

What is the connection between Dr.Buzzard and Kid Creole? When I searched I got

hits for both.

[mryork95]

wow this is great. what year is this from?

[steadfastcoward]

Was this a Group W show? It would be awesome to have some remastered original Merv, Dinah, or even Mike Douglas stuff (i mean just in general!) from those days! The production was just stunning and we never thought about it back then, it just happened. When these shows left and Talk To The Hand came in (and took Heckle and Jeckle or Tom and Jerry off for crying out loud) I knew it was over but I hoped the station would regain it's 'mind'.

Thus were born my teenage years=SHAZBOT! Thanks Andy!

[fanofprotopic]

I've always pronounced it "buzZARD". What's the correct pronunciation?

[Blackjesus3]

do u got a video of george kirby doing impressions on ehre?

[gozanelli]

my buddy Pacs had the album back in the day. all i can say is WOW

[alustorc]

Sugar Coated Andy you are amazing and I love DBOSB. I have ALL your albums & play them constantly. (Calling all Beatnicks included) And I completely support your cassettes and walkman !!! Thanks so much for all your brilliant posts.

[madonpreach]

OMG, What memories does this music bring back. Thank you so much for sharing....!

[lotemo]

If only there were more Cory Daye recordings. This is one of Dr Buzzard's best!

[tracer740]

What a sound! What spectacular music talents and showmanship!!!

Thank you for posting and sharing this, and other wonderful memories we all can enjoy and cherish. I cannot help wondering if these talented people realized the perfection of their performances.

[MundiWorld]

@tracer740 You are welcomed - appreciate the sentiment

[mmarcacci]

That was tight! I wish there was some footage of the band performing "Sour and Sweet". God Bless! Thanks for the great music and the fond memories!

[fanofprotopic]

Coati: was that music as much fun to play as it is to listen to? Ken

[MundiWorld]

@fanofprotopic Yes Ken it was fun to rehearse and perform it although recording it was a bit stressful at times.

[Khultan]

I don't know about the two guest to the left and I think Sean Connery was still way too young, however, for host Dinah Shore, this surely MUST HAVE evoked nostalgic memories of the 1940s. It had to.

[Khultan]

Only one of their music I vaguely remember in 76, 77 but it just didn't seem to get play on SF radio stations and I was too young to get hip about going to record stoes in those days. Damn. Well, better late than never?

[Gene8492]

I still have this LP, yes LP. I play it often. Cory was hot a hell. Dr. Buzzards group was phenomenal. Love the vibe player. He partied on every song. I miss there sound.

[MundiWorld]

@Gene8492

Cheers for sharing your feelings and the support - Coati The Vibe Player (-:

[areyuwithme]

[johnb087]

Exceptional music. Such joy ... I caught this original performance on TV ... bought the album immediately and wore it out. Finally got to see August and Andy on a Kid Creole tour in SF years later. Love the style and attitude ... thanks so much for putting this up and bringing back those wonderful feelings!

[MundiWorld]

@johnb087

No problem...was my pleasure and cheers for the support - Coati Mundi aka Sugarcoated Andy (DBOSB)

[stew127]

that was my joint back in the day

[stew127]

that was hot

[ridovem]

The lead singer is Cory Daye... and songs/arrangements split between Stony Browder on guitar/piano & August Darnell, bass. Mickey Sevilla drums, Andy Hernandez, vibes, Don Armando Bonilla, percussion. The y cut 2 Lps on RCA-- AFL1-1504 & AFL1-2402 in '75-'76. They had it goin' on! My fave was from their first recording, "(for pain & misery, my friend) Cherchez la Femme" ^..^

[godhelpme2009]

@ridovem , Thanks for the info. .Do you know the names of the back-up singers ?

[funkyjojo1980]

I love it.........

[jor99912]

She looks really great!

Like MARTHA RAY!

Martha had a great mouth!

And great Leggs!

And she could Hoof a little!

[discolover50]

just love this song and group

[kduane1]

my badd--didn't mean to misspell your name.

[kduane1]

Nice footwork Coti--you are a "NUT"

Love it man!!

[tomleonard5]

"..and I'm gonna' go school again for you, just to get my equivalency diploma." The phrase has been in my head for over 30 years. We never really know the things that will ultimately have an impact on our minds. This group meant more to me than I knew. Boy, do we need them now.

[taureanblack]

Thank you Coati..I fell in love with Cory and your band the . very first spin of your records...you reaffirm my belief in music

[MundiWorld]

@taureanblack Appreciate the post taureanblack ..." ... Keep that record spinning oh yeah..." (Lyric from Transistor Madness) - CM

[taureanblack]

@MundiWorld Man I know it can be difficult but I would love to see you guys tour the US again. I heard Cory lives in Germany these days but a summer US tour would be EPIC.

[ionahoopii]

Thanks for the video. Love this band.

[soulgriot]

awesome!!!!!!

[ponytailpulla]

Such a tight band

[cbostic817]

WOW... I spent 30 years singing this song to myself and to finally see them do it..............PRICELESS

[princess08701]

This reminds me of Saturday nights when the adults would put on records and sit and drink and play cards.They would tease us kids about not knowing about "grown folks music". I didn't understand what they meant then but I do now. I just recently bought this on cd for myself and blast it in my car all the time. I get strange looks from time to time but who cares? This is MUSIC. Thank you Coati Mundi for the walk down memory lane.

[MundiWorld]

@princess08701 Thank you princess08701 for sharing your childhood memory and sentiment. Nice to know that you appreciate "grown folks music"

- Coati (-:

[discolover50]

When I first heard this song I thought what kind of music is this and I bought the recordl ihave been totally hooked ever since, I love the way Cory ends the song. My neighbors still hear me blasting this music in my house. I get utter goose bumps and dance around the house. YEA Savannah band you rock

[tkodahawk1]

damn!! that was live.

[airjor1]

What year was this clip made? Very nice song!

[taylor4660]

1977

[messianicsephardi]

WOW...rare footage. I loved this group. Glad to see the videos of these great song :) A legend, if I must say.

[AngelOfTheNight2007]

Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band sure was ahead of its time. Do your thing, Miss Daye! Rest in peace, Stony. At one time, I had a crush on all the musicians in the band, especially Stony. I recently saw a photo of actor Laz Alonso, and when he wears that cap, he looks as if he could portray Stony Browder Jr. in a biopic about the band.  Hmmm ... sounds like a great idea for a film!

[fdsbhfds]

i listen this track in my new compilation, it,s hercules&love affair sidetracked

[BrooklynTrick]

cory never got the credit she deserved. love you girl

[templepenn1]

Dinah Shore doin' scat.

Seeing and hearing is believing!

Thankyou.

[essexlph]

I do not think I shall ever see such talent and energy ever again on a stage.

[JERSEYGURL47]

I was 17 yr old and i loved this group .....what happened to them

[curtiscrush]

The epitome of class, talent and showmanship. Corey's voice is sent from God himself. Everytime I hear her, my soul wakes up. It's quite emotional .

[marknorthwest93]

Fantastic Memories here! August Darnell is a true genius in all his musical incarnations and is still going strong inn 2009! Thank you for posting!

[emmanorcross]

does anyone know what year this video is from? amazing song amazing band love it :)

[B4inSF]

you are a god--this is a treasure!

[Zulandermanson]

Wonderful!!!

[studiow54]

I just love Cory Daye. She is brilliant, Wish someone would find a clip of her singing Pow Wow that was such a fun song to dance too.More Cory More.Thanks Coati for posting love your fancy foot work too.

[buckob]

just search, the rip from the LP is here, as is Green Light.

[airjor1]

I had their first album from 1976. I was a Freshman in High School at the time. It was great!

[kennect]

What happened to all of these great characters?

[moorlock2003]

Here they are for us to savor once again. Thank you, Coati Mundi, for the sugar-coated memories.

[MundiWorld]

@moorlock2003 Gracias moorlock2003 ...talking about memories glad you posted some "Shindig" stuff...loved that show when I was growing up - CM

[giorgiomichello]

Wow, this is great footage....good as gold...Stoney, August, Cory, Coati...words fail...amazing talent...thank you for posting.

[sunasia9]

[alustorc]

Dinah Shore AND Dr. Buzzard together!!

This clip is so brilliant it's astonishing. My

fave band of all time. Cory you are simply the BEST & Nobody compares to Stony & August . Thanx for this GENIUS posting.

I'm addicted.

[antares011980]

very nice....& great....

[Reilly666]

Cory Daye is absolutely radiant.

[hootinouts]

Like the sun spreading it's warmth and brilliance

[cyusef]

My best friend and I were kid fanatics for DBOSB but no one else understood. We dressed like them, talked like them, walked like them and collected anything featuring any of the group members. These are my fondest music memories. I would do anything to play or mount a tribute to this music. Mickey, Cory, Coati, August aka Tommy and Stony live forever. P.S. Limelight too. Peace. D

[studiow54]

Stony Browder jr was the brains in this group he knew what he was doing to have Cory Daye sing the lead vocals in this group rip stony

[sdsaucysd]

aahh just great memories as i type this to i,ll play the fool cant help tappin the keys in tune xxx

[studiow54]

They were great thats for sure. loved the style and music. It was just so different from other disco song. Had real meaning and told a story. GREAT GREAT MUSIC

[supportxthexparty]

Hey, STUDIO54, None of them are getting any younger ! Andy Hernandez (Coati Mundi) is in his late 50's. Kid Creole (August Darnell)is either 62 or 63. And the great Cory Daye is going to be 56 soon. The time for a reunion tour is now !!

[studiow54]

My favorite band. .Cory rules. Love the way she ends this song What a pro not many like her.

[nobunsylvia]

GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!

[studiow54]

Cory is so hot not many singers like her today. just love how she ends the song. you rule. You made the savannah band

[supportxthexparty]

Hi. It's been 32 years since "I'll Play The Fool" was released, and it just keeps getting better and better ! When are Cory Daye, Kid Creole, and Coati Mundi going to go on a reunion tour ?

[nzflyingmattress]

How fabulous, all class, so dreamy and sublime. I love this band, what a unique sound and great image!!

[Specialdark23]

Thanks for posting this! This is really rare!

[875090211]

Good Lord - y'all are something special!

Thank you, so much, for sharing.

Stony is missed - what a dreamer, what a talent.

[TonyTheChameleon]

Great to see this! My friend Russell was in the audience that day and raved about the Savannah Band when he returned to Australia.

[MundiWorld]

thanks for dropping by Tony & sey hey to Russell for telling you about us..you take care amigo

[slicksebring]

This looks and sounds like a live performance rather than a sound track. This is really great to see. Any idea who the side players and backup singers in the band were? Thanks for posting, Mr. Mundi! The videos you've shared are some true gems.

[MundiWorld]

Hi "slicksebring":Mucho merci & glad you like them. Don't know side players cause they were used solely for the broadcast. However the Bellhop singer on left is Debra Anderson who became part of "Stargard". One of the musicians is Joel Peskin a highly accomplished Sax player who I ran into much later on when I was music director for the televised Desi Awards Show & he was in the TV band.

Bee well

[studiow54]

It was a live show on Dinah Shore show. I wish someone would post Cory singing Pow Wow that was a great song and so much fun to dance to. You rock Cory
