This record showed up in a bulk lot I bought a few weeks ago. I haven't heard it since I was little. Bang Records 45.

  • I was writing a song with Johnny Cymbal years ago and he told me the story of this song. He wrote the song and recorded the demo and went to pitch to an artist on a label in NY and they said this is a great record and he said OK... They sent him upstairs and asked who the artist was and since he didn't want to tour anymore he told them it was his brother Derek. Derek went on tour and nobody knew... The label wanted to add in the one potato part. That's how I remember it.

  • I love this song. Would get it stuck in my head, years ago.

    One potato, two potato, three potato, four

    Open up, Cinnamon, I want more

    Five potato, six potato, seven potato, eight

    Give it to me, Cinnamon, I can't wait

    LOL ;-)

see all

  • JUST MISSED!!! "Cinnamon'" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 15 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1968/69, it entered the charts on Oct. 26th, 1968!!!

  • such a wealth of memories - of a care-free youth long past...

    but the years go by so quickly - and the gray hairs come so fast...

  • A very good 60s song :)

  • a.k.a. Keith of "98.6" fame.

  • @lavaladylynn did you give Derek a blowjob?

  • I heard it recently on Sirius XM's '60s on 6 station. Satellite beats terrestrial anytime.

  • I played this 45 so much it started playing the 'B' side. ; )

    Thanks for posting.

  • Sweating with the horney's. Wants a double shot of his baby's love.

  • i babysat for his daughter and son, when they rented a house in parma heights ohio. kimberly was maybe 4 years old and their son was an infant. it was when this song came timewise, carol was a nice woman, i liked them all very much.

  • He also wrote and record Mr. Bassman from the early 60's.

  • Omg love it!!

  • Johnny Cymbal also wrote the very beautiful "Mary in the Morning" recorded by Elvis & Al Martino among others.

  • Does anyone remember his other hit (Back Door Man)

  • Great old stuff

  • @pr5pro - I have Leapy Lee's Little Arrows on my iPod. I thought I was the only one who remembered that song - LOL

  • Hell yeah!

  • This was my second choice. My first choice was Jimmy Buffet !

  • Love it!

  • cinnamon, let me in

  • @pr5pro

    This one would have been better :)

  • I still remember being a kid back in 1968 and my Mom giving me money to buy one 45. It was between Little Arrows by Leapy Lee and Cinnamon by Derek. I ended up buying Little Arrows, which I still have, but regretted not being able to get Cinnamon. Thanks for bringing back those musical memories.

  • too sweet! this song i remember in 1969
