Before we get into a special treat for your Friday Listening Pleasure – I wanted to express how much I hate technology sometimes. For the last few Hours I fought WordPress and internet explorer to get this Blog Posted. Please excuse the way it looks!!!
I’m also Runnin around this evening like a hen with her head cut off tryin to get ready for my week long much needed Girlfriend Trip to the West Side – Portland OR.

Please Make your way over to Planet Mondo Atomic Blog from Across the Pond
I’ll be back in a week or two hopefully posting great record finds from the West Coast

We’d both like to thank Planet Mondo for having us do a little guest post over at his world famous Mondo Atomic Blog!!! It is as it looks a HIS and HERS Collaboration for Your Funky Friday.   To get the cuts head over to his page.
Please Enjoy!!!
Ladies 1st and I’m giving you some Doo-Wop

The Dells – “I want to Go Home”: Boy Group Harmonizers of the 50’s. Doo-Wop Born in a Chicago Burbs High School . Cut released late 1956.

The Eternals –“Rocking in the Jungle”: Bronx Doo-Wop Groups 1st 45’ release originally titled “Christmas in the Jungle” which wasn’t working out so well since the holiday was over 8months away. Careful were you step you may cross a lion in your travels with this tune.

The Coasters – “Sorry Gonna Have to Pass”: Storytelling R&B Vocal Group of the late 50s. They were outside the Box when it came to Mainstream DooWop, many would try to imitating their style in later years. But They Are the Kings of Weaving Vocals around a story

The Devil’s part of the show is 3 choice little instrumental nuggets!

Jon Thomas – “Fat Back”: A nice little soulful instrumental R&B Soul number with plenty of Killer organ and sax from 1957. (Early!)

The Craftsmen – “Rock Along”: A kooky little Rockin’ surf type instrumental from -1961: Plenty or crazy organ and twangy guitars a-go-go!!!

The Dartells – “Dartell Stomp”: Another Great Rockin’ Instrumental this time from 1963! More killer organ work, pumping bass and a driving drum beat and break that doesn’t quit!

If these 6 little ditties don’t put a smile on your face this fine Friday then I don’t know what will!!!

Cheers!
