Kenneth Copeland Executes Judgment on COVID-19

 Something different today. Selected for his great entertainment value.


Kenneth Copeland Executes Judgment on COVID-19

I wouldn't want Kenneth Copeland as a neighbor. I know—you might say that’s unlikely to happen; one need only compare our respective bank accounts. 
 
Hallelujah !

Soundwaves SW-4829

1989 

Soundwaves Records was one of the two in-house labels of Nationwide Sound Distributors (NSD was the other). which was founded in Nashville by Joe Gibson in 1972.

Elmo Shropshire , born October 26, 1936 in Lexington, Kentucky is a veterinarian, competitive runner, and country music singer. Shropshire, who typically performs under the name "Dr. Elmo", is best known for his Christmas novelty song "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer". [Wikipedia]

Two-time Emmy Award winner Rita Abrams and her Strawberry Point School kids captured hearts and airwaves worldwide with their chartbuster hit song, “Mill Valley.”

Today, the Betty Ford Clinic, a name synonymous with hope and recovery for countless individuals struggling with addiction, has undergone significant transformations since its establishment. Founded by former First Lady Betty Ford and her friend Leonard Firestone in 1982, the clinic was a pioneering institution in the field of addiction treatment. See https://quicktipstechy.com/what-happened-to-the-betty-ford-clinic/

The Betty Ford Clinic knows how to adapt to the latest fashion trends—yes, sir,  According to an article published in 2014 by USA Today :

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — The Betty Ford Center is starting a new treatment program in June aimed specifically at the LGBTQ community to help those who have turned to substance abuse to cope with society's reaction to their sexual orientation. 

The list of celebrities staying—temporarily, one hopes—at that famous clinic is readily available online, for instance, see Youtube : Celebrities Who Went To Betty Ford Clinic Rehab

Among these stars, there was Ozzy Osborne who supposedly checked himself into the Betty Ford Clinic by walking in and asking for directions to the bar. No comment.

The Many Voices Of Paul Frees

 



 

Paul Frees (1920 –1986),  born Solomon Hersh Frees in Chicago , is better known for his work on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Walter Lantz, Rankin/Bass and Walt Disney theatrical cartoons during the Golden Age of Animation, and for providing the voice of Boris Badenov in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.

Frees was sometimes known as "The Man of a Thousand Voices", an appellation more commonly bestowed on Mel Blanc. [Wikipedia]

A good Paul Frees biography is Ben Ohmart, , Welcome ... Foolish Mortals – The Life & Voices of Paul Frees published in 2004 by BearManor Media. Contains an extensive list of his works (movies, tv, records etc.).

The true aficionado could be delighted with a collection of 349 radio show recordings available in 179 audio CDs or, for the technologically advanced, in 7 mp3 CDs.  

The casual, budget-conscious fan might be satisfied with my little compilation, which gathers a few tracks originally released on singles or albums.between 1954 and 1971.

The Two Sides of Carmen Taylor (re-up)

 



The daughter of a Philadelphian bandleader and a Cuban dancer, Carmen Taylor was born in Cuba ca. 1928. She came to the United States of America at age two, began singing at age three. She sang with musicians like Tito Puente and Duke Ellington.  As Elen Madera, she had an international hit with the song "Pepito,"  

She was also a prolific songwriter, and her repertoire included Clyde McPhatter's "Seven Days," as well as the Clovers' "Little Mama." 

There was never, as far as I know, any Carmen Taylor biography published, in print or on internet, a compilation of her songs neither.

Early in June 1974, bride of a day, Carmen Taylor (Carmen Griffith) was gunned down by her ex-convict husband at Fifth and Market Streets in San Francisco.

A talented woman whose life remains a mystery.

Herman and Sharlet with the Tennessee Valley Boys

 


Herman and Sharlet with the Tennessee Valley Boys

LP Promotional PLP 190

Rimrock pressing from late sixties

 

tracklist

1 - Will The Circle Be Unbroken.mp3    
2 - Just A Closer Walk With Thee.mp3   
3 - The Amen Corner.mp3                
4 - How Beautiful Heaven Must Be.mp3

8 - How Great Thou Art.mp3             
9 - The Third Man.mp3   

Last track (If  I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again) is missing.

From the back cover :

In the years I have worked with and around country musicians, I have encountered groups with names like *The Blue Ridge Mountain Gang*, *The Kentucky Ramblers*, etc. Almost invariably, the members turn out to be from New York, Los Angeles, or Minneapolis — everywhere but the Blue Ridge Mountains or Kentucky!  So when I met the Tennessee Valley Boys in Anderson, Indiana, I was surprised to find that, besides being five of the finest performers of country and gospel music I've ever heard, they are exactly what the name suggests.

Well — almost, that is.  If Sharlet Sexton is a Tennessee Valley "boy," she's the prettiest one I've ever seen!   Born only eighteen years ago in Union County, Tennessee, Sharlet has already recorded three singles and is a veteran performer on television and radio. This exuberant young lady has loved music her entire life and considers herself one of Waylon Jennings' biggest fans.  
As you'll realize when you hear this record, Sharlet’s strong vocal ability is matched only by the spirit and sincerity with which she sings.

John and Jimmy Flatford, heard respectively on mandolin and bass, are equally at home playing country, bluegrass, and gospel music.   The fine lead guitar player, Bud Wall, is the group's only native Hoosier — but he’s just one generation removed from Tennessee.

Herman Hatfield, from Knoxville, Tennessee, has appeared on shows such as the *Tennessee Barn Dance*, the *Midday Merry-Go-Round*, and the *Renfro Valley Barn Dance*.   This album marks Herman's fifth recording venture, and all who have heard the tapes are enthusiastic that it will certainly not be his last!

Each of these musicians has brought something special — individual excellence — to the group. The result is something even more special: a blending of parts into a unified whole.  
What you'll hear on this record is a group with its own personality — its own identity — something more than just five people making music together.

Working with this group has been a real pleasure, and I feel confident your pleasure in listening to them will be just as great.

The Purse

 


The Purse (direct link)

From the album “Live in the Alabama Women's Prison”  recorded
at The Julia Tutwiler Prison For Women, Wetumpka, Alabama, USA

Mega Records, 1970 

 The full album is available HERE

 

Note: Rest assured, sensitive souls, women behind the bars photographied by Bill Forshee were not actual inmates. They were models. 

On January 13, 1968 Johnny Cash recorded his legendary concert album “At Folsom Prison” within the walls of that California penitentiary. It is considered by many to be the greatest live concert recording ever released.  Hoping to replicate Cash’s success, rockabilly performer Mack Vickery traveled to Wetumpka, Alabama in 1970 and recorded a live concert album at the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women.

Mad Magazine, in Septembre 1971, published a two-page funny parody describing six imaginary "Prison" record albums of the future featuring Jim Nabors at the Lexington Narcotics Center), Wayne Newton at the Charles St. Police Station in Greenwich Village, Englebert Humperdick at the Berkeley Jail, Connie Francis at the Philadelphia Home for Wayward Girls, Kate Smith at a Georgia Chain Gang and The King Sisters at Matawan Prison For the Criminally Insane.

For tracklisting, see pictures below.

 

 


As predicted, several albums recorded in prison followed : B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Freddy Fender, Big Mama Thornton, Leona Williams and Sonny James, to name but a few.   

But in 1971, Glen Sherley made history as the first person to record an album inside a prison as a prisoner

The Starfires, later known as The Star Fires on Laurie Records in 1966, were a garage rock band from Wilkes-Barre, PA.  The group was originally formed by junior high school friends Richard Grumbravich (drummer) and Rodger Griffith (bassist). Next to come on board were Bob Gardner (saxophone); Howard Dymond (piano); Freddie Kirkendall (guitar); and Charlie McCuen (vocalist).

My Confession To You

 

 

Dave Larry



My Confession to You
(Dave Larry, Barkip Music Pub.)

B'n KC 102-B
1963

 

Cash Box, March 30, 1963

  

*

The tiny B'n KC (meaning?) from California had only one other release (101 Dave Cullen : Bye Bye Blackbird). 

Thanks to Klepsie at 45cat, who found the following clippings in Cash Box, we know that Dave Larry was a pseudo for Dave Yates. 

 

"Dave Yates mgr. of AMCO’s one-stop has a new release on the B’nKC label, “Only A Dream” b/w “My Confession to You”. Both the lyrics and music were also written by Dave whose professional name is Dave Larry." (Cash Box, "California Clippings", 23 March 1963)

"Dave Larry paid a visit to the California Music Co., promoting his release on the B’nKC label, “Only A Dream” b/w “My Confession to You." (Cash Box, "California Clippings", 18 May 1963)


In 1956, Dave Yates joined Badger Sales which was "doing great business with pool tables, selling many for home use in blue, gold and green felt)"

Cash Box reported in June 1958, that "Dave Yates, former Badger employee is now recording on the Morocco label with a group called Buddy and The Fads."

AMCO Music & Vending, Inc. and Dave Yates appear in this Cash Box column several times in 1962, 63 and 64. 21 March 1964 issue reported their move to an "enlarged and newly decorated" HQ on Pico Boulevard. 

Manager of AMCO one-stop for several years, David Yates returned to Badger Sales in 1965.  

 *

Note: In late 1962, AMCO Music and Vending Company, Inc. was established in Los Angeles as a subsidiary of an Illinois corporation known as AMCO Industries. This was the Southern California and Arizona distributor for Seeburg Vending equipment. Also a branch office of Amco Music and Vending was established in Phoenix, Arizona, and in conjunction with this firm, Capitol Vending Company, another independant company was establised to handle replacement of vending machines in locations as opposed to AMCO Music and Vending's main function which was to distribute equipment to operators. 

In the early sixties, Phoenix and Los Angeles were the preferred destinations for many organized crime figures who were having trouble breathing in Chicago and were seeking cleaner air.

Ben Krass

 

I have only one rule here : always offer you music that meets the highest standards of good taste and quality. No exception today with Bob Krass who was certainly from the class of Mickey Katz, Jerry Lewis and other talented Jewish singers. Must be in the blood.

 

Ben Krass in 1961

 



 
Hippie Of The City
 
Yes, I want more Krass

 

Clothing tycoon turned crooner, Ben Krass was one of the owners of Krass Brothers, a store on South Street in Philadephia. Ben became a celebrity locally because of his short and bizarre commercials, like Krass in a coffin saying "If You Gotta Go, Go In A Krass Brothers Suit." 

Born in 1919, Ben died in 2004 of complications of Alzheimer's disease. He was a successful businesman with the Krass Brothers' clothing store opened in 1947, but his love for music made him found his own record label South Street Records in 1960, a short lived venture in the music biz. 

Other 45s followed  on Krass (1960), Bond (1960-1961) , Raleigh (1961) , Camelot (1961-1962), Diamond and Apex (as Bob Willow, 1962), Foxie (Camelot recordings, 1962), Diatone (as Bob Willow, 1963) and Gamble (as Bee Kays, 1967, as The Boss Man, 1968, as B. K. Marcus, 1971).

In the mid 60's he collaborated with Curtis Mayfield and he reportedly lent money to Kenneth Gamble so Gamble could pursue his own musical dreams. He co-wrote and co-produced some sides with Gamble through Kay-Bee Productions for The Knights And Arthur.

Burn your Bra, Baby

 


Alex Houston
and
Elmer

 

Burn Your Bra, Baby

Willex Records 45-72-14
Willex Products, Inc.
Omaha, Nebraska

1972

From I've Got a Song to Write--Kent Westberry's Story: 60 Years in Country Music as a Songwriter, Singer, Record Producer, and Entertainer

I was booked on a date for a Willex party. They had all kinds of products like soap, cosmetics, and cleaners. We went over so well that Mike Peavyhouse, the head of Willex, came over and asked us to play some more shows for them. I took Dale [Dale Turner, Kent’s wife] with me on the next show and they loved us. Mike said, "How would you like to work all our shows exclusively?"  He put us on a salary of five hundred dollars a week whether we worked or not. Back then that was good money. He gave us an expense acount and a new Cadillac to drive. It was great ! […]

Then Mike Peavyhouse wanted to start a record label called Willex Records, and he wanted me to do the producing. I got back to Nashville and started the ball rolling.

Alex Houston, one of the best ventriloquists in the business (his puppet's name was "Elmer") lived next door to us at the time. Years earlier, Alex had been on the Jimmy Dean Show out of Washington, DC. Dale knew him from there. I had a great idea, I thought. Why not record Alex and Elmer the puppet? We have a unique song. Mike Peavyhouse from Willex said, "Why don't you write one about burn your bra, baby?" That whas when burn your bra was the popular thing to do. When Max D. Barnes and I were on one of the Willex shows and in our motel room, we got the guitars out and wrote "Burn Your Bra, Baby."  I cut it on Alex and Elmer. I had a song for the B side, it was "Camp Chuga Chuga." I also produced a Christmas LP on Alex and Elmer called "Here Comes Peter Cotton Claus."  (...) It was weird. In the studio I found myself talking to Elmer the puppet more than to Alex!

 

Willex ad, Record World, October 7, 1972

 

*

Some time later, Benny Johnson recorded a cover of the song issued by Wow Records, operated by William Ovilee “W. O.” White from this home at 2134 Woodard, Abilene, Texas, where he also taught piano and guitar for over 30 years.

 




Benny Johnson
Burn Your Bra, Baby
(erroneously credited to B. Johnson himself, instead of Kent Westberry)

 *

What remains to be clarified is the exact role played by Blanche Butler, Kent Westberry’s co-composer of the song. What do I know is that she had one relase on Wow : ''Boggle Man's palace" in 1970.

Mary Jane Johnson starred in the early fifties with Bob Atcher in the Faultless Starch Show, a radio program diffused on NBC.

In 1954, along with Elaine Rodgers, the Meadowlarks and the Villagers, she was on the Bill Bailey's TV Show "Town and Country Sound Parade"
 

In 1955, she was on WLWT-TV Cincinnati, soon succeeded in March by Mimi Roman. She then moved to West Coast to engage in radio-tv activities.

 You have to wait about ten years before seeing again her name on a record when two of her songs were issued on the Kapp Records album "Saturday Night at The Old Barn Dance" issued in 1965, supposed recorded live at WGN-TV in Chicago.

Sloppy Drunk Woman



 

 Norridge Mayhams and his Barbecue Boys

Vocal by Johnnie Tunsill
Vocal blues with orchestra acc.

Vocalion 03495

1937 

 
 
Early Norridge Mayhams later better known as Norris Mayhams or Norris The Troubadour, rather well-documented by enthusiasts of song-poems and other eccentricities.
 
Not much is known about the vocalist. Johnnie Tunsill (1904-1982) was a New-York entertainer during the thirties. She was a "colored" singer at the Harlem Opera House in 1931, a member of at least two Broadway musicals in 1938-1938 : "a sepia gal who can strike out some neat warbling" 
 
Nothing more is found about her, unfortunately.
