[cite]Posted By: mistrollingin[/cite]I shall be ordering the above today, thanks for recommending them. Esther Phillips soulful version of the country classic "Release Me" remains one of my all time favs. Bobby Charles (not to be confused with another singer of the same name who did the original of "See You Later Alligator") and Joe South, totally agree with you.
I thought the See you later alligator Bobby Charles and the Small Town Talk Bobby Charles were the same person.0 -
Not sure to be honest, Henry. The're listed as two separate singers in the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide. Original mint copy of See You Later Alligator on London American listed at £2,500!0

Yes, the same Bobby Charles. I think he wrote See You Later Alligator as well as performing the original before Bill Haley covered it. He also wrote I Don't Know Why I Love You But I Do.
Reinvented himself as a rootsy /Americana singer-songwriter with the support of The Band in the early 1970s. I remember Charlie Gillett playing Small Town Talk to death on his Honky Tonkin show on Radio London at the time.
Those interested in this stuff should check out the forum on Charlie's Sound Of The World website, where the likes of Bobby Charles get debated fascinatingly and endlessly...
A rare error by Record Collector there , Mistrollin...0 -

I can a feel a top five songs with whistling in them coming on : - )0

Go for it, H.
Small Town Talk and Dock Of The Bay def. top of my list...struggling to think of three more where the whisling is integral to the song's aesthetic and not just there for novelty/joke effect, though.0 -
OK, just to annoy AFKA : - )0

Went to see Rolling Stoned last night.
Quite a funny tribute band. OK, so the singer isn't quite Jagger but they we're brave enough to try a few less famous tunes such as Heartbreaker and Dead Flowers and risk having a go at You can't always get what you want and Sympathy.
It did remind me that the Stones (the real ones) ARE the best Rock and Roll band in the world.0 -

Actually, they are not even the best of their original era .. The Who win hands down.0 -
Not for me.
From Beggers Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky fingers and Exile on Main St they produced the best rock and roll.
The Who I love but they don't touch those four albums. Who's Next maybe.
BTW did anyone see Sky Arts had a Who series. Watched them at the Isle of Wight 1970 but got a bit bored TBH. Too prog rock for my tastes.0 -
I am sure we won't agree on this one ...
... as long as we both agree that the best single in the 60's was Tiptoe through the Tulips by Tiny Tim, then all is ok.
... although the Singing Nun runs him a close second.

Not "I was Kaiser Bill's batman" Really, your lack of appreciation for this classic shocks me ; - )0 -
Good call Henry, but on reflection probably overshadowed by Bobby 'Boris' Pickett and the Crypt Kickers.0

That goes without saying.
Did anyone see that genius that is Bernard Cribbins on buzzcocks. Boy he was sharp and the guy from the Mighty boosh (sp) couldn't keep up.
Strange claim to fame. Lady Irving, as a child, was taken swimming by Bernard Cribbins. Top that!0 -
