HOLLYWOOD FLAMES Buzz Buzz Buzz OCT '57

Uploaded by srercrcr on Oct 15, 2009
#11 Pop and #5 R&B *** I was a record collector in the 50s and 60s, mostly R&B, doowop, and Motown. My first two purchased records were 78s in '56...Peggy Sue and Blue Suede Shoes (still got em).
I listened mostly to KDIA in San Francisco/Oakland back in the day. If I liked a new song, I bought it. Hence you may discover some great songs as we go on this journey. Remember, just because it wasn't a hit doesn't mean it wasn't a great song.

Everything about this is right! The song is catchy, the singer is terrific (great phrasing, good tone and excellent pitch), the backing vocals complement the lead vocal nicely and the signature intro sax part is big, fat and rocks hard. The two-sax middle section iterates and reminds of the intro... No record as good as this has come out for some time now. It reminds one of Thurston Harris and Bobby Day. Who were the Hollywood Flames? The sax man has a tone as big as Clifford Scott's. !!!!

JUST MISSED!!! As stated above "Buzz-Buzz-Buzz" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 17 weeks in the Top 100 in 1957/58, it entered the charts on Nov. 25th, 1957!!!

This is Bob and Earl, the same duo who did Harlem Shupphle, only as a quartet!

Thanks-I had the 45 of this but lost somehow...expert group, doesn't miss a lick.
The duet sax bridge is high art.

This song is so classic for me - electrifying from the very first bent note - I have this on 45 but think it'd be sweet in a 78 jukebox, right next to Elvis, the Coasters and El Dorados

@mdmphd Right you are. Ever since I was a kid I thought it was so cool how the 78s spun SOOO fast.

I had just turned 12 when this came out and my older brother bought it. Well I just got my intro education and never looked back. This was great because it was a big pop hit and was all over the few AM stations we had. Thx.
