Hal M., I ate before I got there! I did not play anything. Barbra sang my songs better than I could anyway. As a matter of fact, after hearing all the great...
For Austin Roberts: "I Wanna Love My Life Away" was indeed Gene's first major (Top 40) hit under his own name, and only the second single period to bear his...
I liked Wizzard before I knew I liked Phil Spector! I bought "California Man" on a 45 when I was only listening to Rock and Roll as a youth and subsequently...
Given the kind of force that radio exerts on the record market, and given the importance of the New York market in particular, it's not surprising that so many...
Continuing the short season of Lee Hazlewood and Jack Nitzsche collaborations, I'm pleased to present another obscure 45 as this week's "Record of the Week"....
"Nobody Needs Your Love" - a late-career hit in the UK, not even released on single in the U.S. Tough to find on CD, finally found it on "The Very Best of Gene...

Y'know, I can't decide on just one obscure favorite, so I'll name my two favorites. They are "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart" (I'm still looking for a...
