  • @rusty44mag That was my husband you were listening to! He played keyboard on the ORIGINAL Rivieras "California Sun" that went platinum. He still has the first record pressed then. He and his pals (they enlisted and went to Vietnam together; he was the only original member who survived the sniper attack that killed his other three band members) were four Midwest boys fantasizing about the good life away from Ohio and Indiana's cold, dark winters. I showed him your comment -- he loved it!

  • Like to see some chicks doing the Surfer's Stomp!

  • same song!!!!

    New K-SWISS commercial! K-SWISS and 72andSunny debut their new TV spot. Directed by Keith Schofield, "Awesome Day," represents all that's great about California - the sun, surf and its carefree nature. Music featured: "California Sun" by Henry Glover and Morris Levy, Performed by: Choir of young SoCal school students at Beacon Street Studios. This version of the song was recorded *exclusively* for K-SWISS!

  • Der Titel ist ja schon Klasse, aber die Jukebox - "Wurlitzer ?"  - ist herausragend.

  • Sorry, I was bored enough to try and see how many thumbs down I could get, to no avail I guess. I know that the Ramones came about long after them.
