Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

![]() I like all this bird music. It's timely! A few days ago I saw a bald eagle flying in my back yard -- never saw one there before. And, a gang of Eastern Bluebirds have been hanging out in my cedar and hemlock trees, too. They sure are pretty. |

I do remember references to bubblegum music back then. Google's ngram viewer corroborates my (usually sketchy) memory. The year the term began its ascent? 1967. | |

![]() I wonder who was singing lead for the Falcons at this point? He sounds like he was listening to a lot of Sam Cooke |
![]() |
![]() Sure does. |
![]() |
![]() I thought it was Sam Cooke. |
![]() |
![]() Just checked - it's Joe Stubbs. |
![]() |
![]() I have some mid 60s 45s where Joe Stubbs was the lead (brother of Levi) but I don't think that's him |
![]() |
![]() Color me surprised! |
![]() |
![]() Man I was hoping this was gonna be Mose Allison cover |
![]() |
![]() Lee! |
![]() |
![]() Danny! |
![]() |
![]() Larry, I was surprised it was Stubbs too but I can hear it in some of Joe's unreleased Motown sessions |
![]() |
![]() Yet another gorgeous Hazlewood track |
![]() |
![]() Someone should do a comp of singers imitating Cooke, because there are a bunch. Johnny Taylor's early stuff is heavily Cooke-influenced |
![]() |
![]() This Walkers track sounds like Ain't That Peculiar |
![]() |
![]() Pete Cooke's "I Won't Cry" springs immediately to mind. No relation. |
