I like John Lee Hooker. Here's a big to all leftists these days. Straight from 1979. Back in the days when Carter was a pussy. He was the worst president until Obama. lemme tell you summin' 'bout real Americans: We ain't playin' that.

Yes John Lee Hooker but not when all that fucking Bono crowd got him to record shit with them.

John Lee Hooker "Burnin' Hell" released in 1949 on 10" Shellac on Sensation Records the B Side is "Miss Sadie Mae"



John Lee Hooker "Goin On Highway '51" released in 1950 on 10" Shellac on Sensation Records this is the B Side the A Side is "Let Your Daddy Ride"

The Cake were a Girl Group who appeared too late for the Girl Groups, it's a shame they didn't start recording five years earlier in 1962, Phil Spector could have done something fantastic with them and they would have been perfect for Philles Records.

The Cake "Baby That's Me" released in 1967 on 7" on Decca Records this is the B Side of the record the A Side is "Mockingbird" "Baby That's Me" was written by Jack Nitzsche and Jackie De Shannon and Jack Nitzsche produced the record.

This morning at 7AM I wake Mr. Lucy up with at top volume playing the below 7" record by The Immortal Lee County Killers from Auburn, Alabama....Mr. Lucy say to me "of course this is the reason why I married you" excellent and what a romantic thing to say to me, no wonder I allow him to paint my toenails for me

The Immortal Lee County Killers "Train She Rides" released on 7" and it plays on 33 ⅓ RPM and not on 45 RPM in 2000 on Homo Habilis Records the B Sides are "Train She Rides" a very good and strange remix of and also "Cool Driver"

Dionne Warwick "This Empty Place" from her second album "Anyone Who Had A Heart" released in 1964 on Scepter Records.



Dionne Warwicks's first eight albums recorded from 1963-1968 for Scepter Records are completely fantastic ("Presenting Dionne Warwick" (1963), "Anyone Who Had A Heart" (1964), "Make Way For Dionne Warwick" (1964), "The Sensitive Sound of Dionne Warwick" (1965), "Here I Am" (1965), "Here Where There Is Love" (1966), "The Windows of The World" (1967) and "Dionne Warwick In The Valley of The Dolls" (1968)

Dionne Warwick should never have left being headquartered in The Brill Building and she never should have left Scepter Records and gone to Warner Brothers, her recordings are all totally downhill from these points from a musical perspective and also from a taste perspective.

Same with Aretha Franklin nearly everything she recorded when she was on Atlantic Records was fantastic and before that nearly everything she recorded on Columbia Records was fantastic and all went downhill and too commercial when she went to Arista Records one of the WORST record labels EVAH, WTF she should have gone back to Columbia if she was going to leave Atlantic.

Okay end of rant

What a fine find, Oosie. You know there's a contemporary group called "Cake" (no "The"), unrelated. At first glace I thought that's where you were going.

Speaking of girl groups from that era --- Goldie and the Gingerbreads, "Can't You Hear my Heart Beat" (1965)

​

This song was a "hit" in the UK but not at home in the US, while Herman's Hermits covered the song and had a "hit" in the states but not the UK. Goldie and the Gingerbreads stayed in England for two years and toured with the Yardbirds, Manfred Mann, the Kinks and the Rolling Stones.

Goldie the lead signer later took a new name based on her birth name "Genyusha" --- she was born in Poland and came to the US in 1947 speaking no English --- and became Genya Ravan, the lead singer of Ten Wheel Drive.

This below 7" record is one of Philles Records best EVAH, it's up there with The Crystals and The Ronettes records.

Darlene Love "A Fine, Fine Boy" released on 7" in 1963 on Philles Records the B Side is "Nino & Sonny (Big Trouble)"

This song was a "hit" in the UK but not at home in the US, while Herman's Hermits covered the song and had a "hit" in the states but not the UK. Goldie and the Gingerbreads stayed in England for two years and toured with the Yardbirds, Manfred Mann, the Kinks and the Rolling Stones.

Goldie the lead signer later took a new name based on her birth name "Genyusha" --- she was born in Poland and came to the US in 1947 speaking no English --- and became Genya Ravan, the lead singer of Ten Wheel Drive.

Interesting to see an all girl band playing instruments from that era. I have never had this Goldie and the Gingerbreads on my radar, not my type of Girl Group and the song is IMHO not very good, I mean The Crystals, The Shirelles etc would have demolished them if they would have been on that stage with them.

Maybe, maybe not --- so much depends on production and arranging especially in those simpler times. But yes very definitely girls were supposed to be ornaments that simply sang and didn't dabble in anything so complex that would tax their tiny brains as actually playing an instrument which is one reason G and the Gs stand out, simply for their groundbreaking. G and the Gs were the first all-female rock band to be signed to a major label (first Decca in the UK and later Atlantic in US) although their first release was on Spokane, a subsidiary of Scepter.

No doubt their sound would not have stood up to the Spector Wall of Sound, but on the other hand they're playing their own instruments, and girls weren't supposed to do that. Even the Monkees weren't supposed to do that, and they weren't even girls.

Prior to the Gingerbreads Goldie (Genyusha) was with the Escorts, a group that included Richard Perry.
