Xocquitumi



Ada Maria

Xocquitumi
A.C. Pena, Poco Loco Music
Flamingo Records #5002
late sixties?
Xocquitumi was copyrighted on 1 Aug 1968 by Flaco Music Co. and was also recorded by Ray Avila on the El Monte label (see 45cat)

There was an early Flamingo label (also pink, not surprisingly) in the West Coast (Kim and Grim, Flamingo 501,  1965)   but probably a different label.

Poco Loco Music, as were Padua Music and Tamkoda Music, was part of Faro Music Publ'g owned by Edward L. Davis, better known as Eddie Davis

Lollypop Baby



From Downey California, this young vocal trio (2 girls and a guy) and "Do Yourself A Favor" their original composition written by members Georgia Massey and Dopha Stark was enough to entice record producer, Eddie Davis to take them to Audio Arts Recording Studio in Hollywood, California and release this recording on his Faro Record label in 1959. Eddie also brought in his staff co-producer, Wayne Franklin Corps to assist him with the musical and vocal arrangements. After the release of the record, the group received some local radio airplay and continued to achieve regional success. The Rhythm Rockets also appeared at many high schools and colleges as well as private events in the Southern California area promoting their record for Faro Production and Associated Talent Enterprises.
