I've been lucky enough to study with legendary jazz drummer Joe Chambers, according to him the reason all rock and roll uses the same backbeat is because of this song...
It's fun to fall in love and break up when you are young you have the world ahead of you. But when you are old you are scared to break up because there might no be a next time.
Murray The "K" And the swingin soiree is NOW in session!! Oh yeah!! Listened to Murray ALL the time, and even went with my mom to The Brooklyn Fox Theatre in Brooklyn N.Y.! Saw the likes of "Little" Stevie Wonder, The Shirelles, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Jive 5..and so on and so on! Count me as ONE lucky Lady!!
OMG yeah. Brooklyn Fox. Me too! I saw Patty Labelle and the Bluebells there. (They sang: You'll never walk Alone" and "Danny boy". Gives me chills just thinkin' about it) And Chuck Jackson, Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield (got her autograph:). Good memories.
@TIMBOKIP I'm not certain you'll find this recording on a "Barbara George" album (more likely you'll find it in a compilation with other artists), but search for it at amazon.com and see what you find.
@TIMBOKIP Nocaro is very wrong, a copy of the original AFO/Sue Records album, "I Know" by the legendary Miss Barbara George is available on ebay and believe me it is worth every penny, especially for the follow-up singles, "Whip-O-Will" and "You Talk About Love." In addition and also of collectible note, there were late 78s of Barbara George pressed in the Philippines on Monument and Sue Records labels.
A #1 hit for Barbara George on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 88th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #3 on the Top 40 charts. Her biggest hit.
@Desiree50 it's the same music, but it was originally a doris day song (everybody loves a lover) in 1958..............and doris rocked it better than the shirelles!!
now out of all of these people saying barbara george is their cousin i would like to know who knows her real name cause this is my grandmother and barbara was only her stage name
rummaging thru my grandmother's records found this one. she had good taste in music. I miss her but thank God for the legacy of good tunes she awakened us to.
Thanks so much for the info on the Trumpet Solo! It is on of my all time favorites! I thought it was an early Herb Albert! Sillie me! Soooo deep in the pocket...makes me smile whenever I here it!
My dad says he recorded a track with Barbara George, though he wasn't sure if it was really her or not because she was much older and had put on a lot of weight, so in the liner notes it said Barbara "I Don't Know" George-lol
Norcaro, no way this ancient honky could be a relative of Barbara, but I flipped for this song when it came out and am so grateful to God that it is part of our cyberworld again. This is the real deal, Neal! Bless you for posting it!!
Thanks for the reply...it's funny how many relatives of the artists involved and in some cases the artists themselves I've heard from since I started this channel.
I can only hope Barbara would like what I've done with her recording.
@Nocaro mine too! and ur mii cousin too! Isiah! remember me shiloh?! My momma is ur cousin also, well duhh youu knoww thtt Barbara is from Chauvin , La just like us.
I kissed this 45 to bad ass Katrina! She took it all in 2005!
