'GENIE' SONGS

Four songs from the Golden Age of Rock and Roll having to do with genies and Aladdin's Lamp. In fact, one of the tracks is called "ALADDIN'S LAMP", which was recorded by British teen idol Mark Wynter in the early 1960s. The other three songs are "GENIE" by a New York City doo wop group called the Inspriations (c. 1958-59), "GENIE IN THE JUG" by a doo wop group called the Tornados, and "GENIE OF THE LAMP" by the Ly-Dells from Philadelphia (1961).
As a special treat, some of the photos are of Barbara Eden in the classic sitcom "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" in the 1960s.

One of the members of the Inspirations, who recorded the first track GENIE, is a co-worker of mine who just recently retired. In fact, this song is included in a compilation CD called NURSERY RHYMES AND FAIRY TALES DOO WOPS. The co-workers who arranged his retirement party presented him with this CD. I made a DVD full of montages of the Rock and Roll artists of the '50s, '60s and '70s. This song is featured on the DVD. I also presented this DVD to him at the party.
