An early Phil Spector production (Philles Records) that went to #8 on pop and was played on our r&b station. This group was reportedly really the Blossoms. For those too young to "get it", girls used to wear bobby socks. *** 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.

  • It's ironic that the person most responsible for elevating the role of women in popular music would be incarcerated for murdering a woman. Wealth and fame can be a dangerous thing.

  • god, that guitar solo just sounds amazing. i really don't think i've ever heard anything else quite like it.

  • That's whats great about re-living these old great tunes, everybody appreciates something different.

  • best version on youtube thanks:)

    Al Hazan tells the story of being in Phil Spector's studio for this recording. During a break, session great guitar player, Tommy Tedesco shows Phil a new sound he has been working on. Phil calls it the "dirtiest guitar he has ever heard" and adds it to the break of this song. Sounds great.

  • check out The Mummies version hehehe

  • Go to the library and check out "Tearing Down the Wall of Sound" by Mick Brown. An excellent book and you will get the whole Phil Spector story ... ALL OF THE SONGS AND ARTISTS ARE COVERED.

    In fact, that's why I'm on YouYube right now. Reading about the songs I just have to go in and give them a listen. Can't get them out of my mind!!

  • I can't quite place those lyrics? ;)

    Now, where have I heard them before?

  • One more time chi-i-ild! Whoa oh oh oh oh yeah! Darlene Love was the best at adding blues flourishes to a song. Love her on this one.

  • The Wall of Sound.  Phil Spector was a genius.

  • Speaking of guitar, the studio musicians werent credited and many were famous people we all know!!!
