Billy Larkin and The Delegates - Pigmy part 1 and 2 - Aura records 1965

[organfreak]

Another great guitarist who played with Billy was Seattle's Pernell Alexander, who went on to local fame in Dan Bonow's Juggernaut (1967-70). Pernell was a cousin and associate of Jimi Hendrix's in the early Seattle days. Pernell had his own version of Cuci Freedom Man that he called "Hoochie-Cuci Freedom Man," and it was jaw-droppin' good! The drummer, Mel Brown, of course became famous later in his own right, and is currently one of the 'A list' organ drummers in Portland.

Pigmy still gives me the chills after all these years, what a tune! Cuchy Frito Man is another Billy Larkin classic I simply can't resist...pure class

I've searched for this before (I still have my broken 45-and try to play it). All I know is that when this came out (I was a H.S. junior) it was "the jam". Our basketball team used this as their into music, as well as "Hole in the Wall". Wow-I'm gonna find that one too!

Larkin great organist, thanks.

Thanks for uploading this great groove Pigmy!

I just recently heard of Billy Larkin & The Delegates and found out that they have a number of really good records.

Larkin is great at the organ, has a very good Hammond sound, distinctive and a little bit dirty, and the guitarist is also very good. Overall this is a very tigh swinging group with good arrangements.

Keep swinging,

Rounder

Great jazz groove here... Actually, Pigmy was released in the Spring of 1965. Always wondered if the Delegates made an album with this.
