The word "legend" gets tossed around a lot, but few people are as deserving of this label and yet as unheralded as the brilliant songwriter/producer John Carter. The man sang backing vocals on "I Can't Explain," and co-wrote "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat," "Little Bit O' Soul," and "My World Fell Down" (to name just three). He also enjoyed success with the bands The Ivy League, The Flowerpot Men, and perhaps most notably with The First Class, whose hit "Beach Baby" -- co-written and produced by Carter, with frequent collaborator Tony Burrows on lead vocals -- is an unassailable pop classic. John Carter is also responsible for my favorite summer song of all-time, "Sound Of Summer" by Starbreaker. Listen to the archive and hear how all of this happened from the man himself, along with heaping helpings of music from throughout his career!

and someone could take this as a music file and clean it right up these days, if they want clean. we "tapetraders" have done that with more shitty sounding 60s-70s concert cassettes than you can shake a stick at

I think I've made mistakes relative to the John Carter/Tony Burrows lineups of the Ivy League in the past. Living and learning.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:19pm

That's understandable! There was a lot of shifting going on, not to mention the fact that John preferred not to tour so before Tony Burrows officially joined the Ivy League (after John left) he was performing the songs on the road.

No, the other french horn part earlier in the song is from Sibelius.

Burrows banned briefly from TOTP for having too many one-hits.

I had no idea that Carter'd written so many of these.

I really need to track down those other two John Carter compilations... Measure For Measure is great but I really want to hear what's on the other ones too.

@G - nice link - & sadly true.
I have found a still-warm squirrel leg (one, hind) in my attic.
I have left the house to allow nature (read cats) deal with a hapless, fatally wounded bird, getting only regurgitated beak & claws back next day.
And many vole lips on my doorstep.

When these beasties pass I think I'll keep all future cats inside only.

Oh my gosh, thanks G! I wish I could have done as much post-production on the Jerry Shirley interview, but I recorded that one the night before my show so there just wasn't any time.

Uncle Michael:

I like Carter's slightly crass, Tin Pan Alley approach to trying to make hits. It's so filled with guile that it's guileless. It harkens back to before the dreaded concept of "cred" infiltrated pop music. Long live *craft*.

But he doesn't seem to confuse sales success with creative success. He doesn't disavow something as "bad" just because it didn't sell. I think of that as Gibb Syndrome.
