	Awesome post - the dancing is so funny. McCain reminds me of an evil Grandpappy Amos. Great music! Thanks. (Reply to this) (Thread)

War On Beer

When I heard John McCain promise to veto every beer, I knew he was going to piss a lot of people off:

Do you remember the cover for Shirley & Company's Shame, Shame, Shame?:

She's the same Shirley from Shirley & Lee of Let The Good Times Roll and Feel So Good fame. Shame, Shame, Shame was written and produced by Sylvia Robinson of Mickey & Sylvia, who had a hit with Love Is Strange.

McCain's shelf-life has expired. What's with McCain and the blinking. Isn't frequent blinking associated with lying?

That album cover is great. I called my husband in and asked him sing the songs for me. He knows all this stuff. Sylvia used to live in his friend Bob's building in Hackensack. He was in the army with Tommy from the Capris and the Del Satins who backed up Dion. He wants to know if you heard of the song Good Good-Bye by The Bob Knight Four. He's been trying to track it down for a while. It's probably doo wop music doooh duuuuh buh duh de ya dum dum buh de bop a doo doe doe dee oh doe

Here's some info on TBKF: American Singing Groups: A History 1940 to Today. A bunch of good boys from Brooklyn, from the old neighborhood.

The Bob Knight Four: Good Good Bye

Sylvia's always been a Jersey person. I love this video:

My husband is all happy and even had a slightly detectable happy bounce. He couldn't believe it. Now he's sitting on the other computer and singing. I should have told him he couldn't have it unless he did the dishes. Too late now. Seriously, thank you. Glenn and now my husband - on a quest for a song lost in the past - I don't understand it - it's like trying to go to a time in the past. I wonder if it's a common thing - to me it's weird and has the makings of a Twilight Zone episode - Also it is pitiful that the internet is way too mysterious for any of us to find a song on our own. Like trying to thread a needle with boxing gloves on. Today has been a day of peculiar analogies. Do you think there are other people searching for a mystery song? Strange.

Shirley is adorable - TURQUOISE! And that screamy guy with her - just the right amont of screech I think.

I wonder how many people you made get up and dance.

Thank you again.

That's what it's all about - connecting with the music on an almost ethereal level.

Seriously, thank you. Glenn and now my husband - on a quest for a song lost in the past - I don't understand it - it's like trying to go to a time in the past. I wonder if it's a common thing - to me it's weird and has the makings of a Twilight Zone episode

That's what music collecting is all about, the hunt for the song that used to on the radio when you worked in the fast food joint as a teen. You never think to get a copy of it before it's too late. There are so many songs part of my eternal pursuit I know I'll be dead before I get them all. Then there are the recordings you've read rumors about, those are part of the chase and make up a large part of what I keep my eyes and ears open for.

Also it is pitiful that the internet is way too mysterious for any of us to find a song on our own.

For me, the biggest thing the Net offers is access to music I've never dreamed of owning. I have found the rarest of rare recordings. I admit finding them is an exciting experience, I can not deny my nerdom.

Like trying to thread a needle with boxing gloves on. Today has been a day of peculiar analogies. Do you think there are other people searching for a mystery song? Strange.

There will always be a "mystery song" to find, thank god! That's what makes it so much fun.

BTW - I ripped Good Good Bye from a YouTube video.

Shirley is adorable - TURQUOISE! And that screamy guy with her - just the right amont of screech I think.

This is from the YouTube comment section:

For all that its worth, hes not "white", he's Cuban, and he's my pastor at Love Of Jesus Family Church in Orange, NJ
Jason Alvarez (at this time period his name was Jesus Alvarez)

You think the guy can sing.......you should hear him on bass!!!!!!!!!! Nasty!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how many people you made get up and dance.

Hopefully, a few! Dancing is good for the soul.

Thank you again.

It's my pleasure, glad I found your hubby's mystery song. It's not a bad tune at all.
