Super Bowl LVIII Hot Links

Job Opening (For an Experienced Heart Mender) Pts. 1 & 2, Del-Larks (1967) This 45 rpm record is one of the most sought after Northern Soul records in the U.K. The Del-Larks almost made The Ed Sullivan Show, but  according to group leader Sammy Campbell, “We were ghetto guys. We were talking that street language among ourselves and using a lot of profanity. The [Sullivan] director walked in the room and heard that profanity. He said ‘Ms Gregory, take them back and teach them some manners.’ I knew when they did that, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Batrachophobic Hot Links

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).
