mauri, guess that the lakes are frozen over.
Avatar 3:13pm

Brian. its not completely but yeah this bay is frozen. A ship called Gustav goes by in the morning and comes back at sundown around 3pm but it freezes over quickly. no snow so there might be a change that I could skate on the lake at some point.

The album name is a tad redundant. I don’t know any Bossa that isn’t relaxing.

Didn't 5th Dimension do this one?

I’d rather hear Jerry sing it

I looked up Lada Edmund Jr. Turns out she had only one single with Once Upon a Time as the B-side.

"Filet of sole" ??
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:42pm

@Erica - She had at least one other. He song 'The Larue' is a big (expensive) Northern Soul record

@Brian - Hippies...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:46pm
Brian in UK:

Now, Kama Sutra was a label with much variety. As the name implies!!
Avatar 🥁 3:46pm
Erica:

According to Discogs, she's had a few more than what you mentioned Larry: The Answer and I Want a Man from 1961 and Trouble from 1967.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:47pm
Funky16Corners:

She was a dancer on Hullabaloo, a model and went on to be a stuntwoman!

And a personal trainer too I read.

Hello Larry and all. Am listening and so far work is quiet so the music is loud. 👍

Hey WR!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:51pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Can’t say I remember this Teresa album. Enjoying her vocals.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:52pm
Funky16Corners:

It is unjustly obscure, and very good
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:52pm
Funky16Corners:

She was 19 when she recorded it, and never did another record. Not even singles. All of the songs I'm playing are songs she wrote.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:55pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Any clue how she hooked up with Anita Kerr?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
Funky16Corners:

None whatsoever. There's very little info out there about her
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
Brian in UK:

A little theatrical in presentation. Not a bad thing.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
Funky16Corners:

I'll talk about her at the break.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:01pm
Hopey Sockmonkey:

Funky16Corners:

Conservative estimate? Many thousands.

Allegedly, Yesterday the most frequently covered of them

Mx. Granny (e/em):

hi, Erica!!! Great to see you! And that cat!!! LOL!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:15pm
Funky16Corners:

When you consider that EVERYBODY, in every genre was covering the Beatles, jazzers, mainstream pop vocalists, rock bands, etc the field was HUGE
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:17pm
Mx. Granny (e/em):

it might be easier to count how many artists HAVEN'T covered The Beatles!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:18pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes! That would be easier!
Avatar 4:18pm
SquigY0:

ha so true. answer might be none!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:19pm
Funky16Corners:

I'm reading a book about the Easy Listening world attaching itself to psychedelic music, and the breadth of this stuff is amazing. Whole albums devoted to covering specific Beatles albums etc

Still can't fathom that this woman produced the first Dead Boys album.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:28pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Dean!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:28pm
Funky16Corners:

She has a very interesting history. Also, if you don't know the original of this by the Faces, go and listen to it (after the show is done, of course)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:30pm
Brian in UK:

Erica, nice one.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:30pm
Candy-O'67:

Hahaha, Dean! She's one tough lady! ;))
  4:31pm
Dean:

I know the original well. It now reminds me of a dream I had a month or two ago in which I met Rod at the stage in his career when he was joining Faces. I, however, was in the here and now, and so I congratulated Rod on his career to present, of which he was unaware.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:31pm
Candy-O'67:

I've listened to Genya on the Underground Garage over the years. She has a couple monthly special shows on there and she is quite interesting!!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:32pm
Brian in UK:

Dean, what haircut did he have?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:32pm

I can't say that I love every Faces song, but the ones I do love, I love A LOT

Cover of Wink Is as Good as a Nod. That haircut.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:33pm
Funky16Corners:

This 45 is Faces-adjacent, the other side is written and produced and played on by the Small Faces. This side is produced by Jagger
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:35pm
dreamyandseedy:

first heard this song on Sheila B's show where she interviewed PP, it's so good!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:35pm
Candy-O'67:

Hey, dreamyandseedy, do you know what episode the interview was on? I'd like to hear that
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:36pm
Brian in UK:

Dean, I remember going past a barbers, early '73 and there were four of five men all sitting in chairs looking like Rod from behind. Feathercut?
  4:36pm
Dean:

I lurked when it comes to Faces for years during my early album collecting years. Heard and loved their work, gazed at the albums in the stores, but never made the purchase. At some time post-2000 I picked up Nod for a buck or two. Fast forward decades to the box set Four Guys Walk Into a Bar, and it's a regular on the home playlist.
