We should add that songs about Hadacol feature prominently in Nick Tosches' indispensable UNSUNG HEROES OF ROCK N ROLL, still the best and funniest book about the early years of the music.
Fess is always a good listen. Haven’t heard Diana and Marvin in a long while, so that was a treat. Today’s cover features some tasty organ and backing vocals.
Swingin' is a good way to start the day.
