Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town, The Harmony Grits (1959) When The Drifters were fired by their manager after an incident at the Apollo Theater, they were immediately replaced by members of The 5 Crowns. Clyde McPhatter had begun a solo career, so the others, Gerhard and Andrew Thrasher with Bill Pinkney and Little David Baughan(?) formed The Harmony Grits, as their former manager owned rights to The Drifters name. They recorded two songs before renaming themselves The Original Drifters. [More on the story here.]
Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town was first recorded by Harry Reser and His Orchestra, with vocal by Tom Stacks (1934).

Then they changed the spelling and became The Turtles. (See also Flo and Eddie.)

Saturday Matinee – Cyriak, R.L. Boyce, The Delta Saints & The Lachy Doley Group
CYRIAK dropped a new one. Turn it up and annoy the neighbors.
Born in Como Mississippi in 1955, R.L. Boyce was a protégé of Mississippi Fred McDowell, R.L. Burnside and others who played at his parents’ weekend-long house parties. Boyce says his initials stand for “R.L.”
The Delta Saints gots the bourbon-fueled bayou-rock swamp smokes.
Lachy Doley is the Jerry Lee Lewis of the Hammond C3. Lazy Onions is a mashup of Deep Purple’s Lazy with Booker T. & The M.G.s’ Green Onions. Free download of Best Of The Lachy Doley Group album is available at his website. (Side note: The Hammond C3 organ is the same as a Hammond B3 but has a case instead of legs for support.)
Have a great weekend, and tomorrow maybe we’ll do something.
See you then.
