JohnnyB Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I don't know if it's still my all-time favorite, but it sure was at the time: Blues Magoos' "We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet," from their debut album on Mercury, "Psychedlic Lollipop." They opened for The Who on a 1967 tour. http://youtu.be/hclPPseW93o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LefThanDed Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 "Sounds like another K-Tel Superhit!!" (using zany AM DJ voice) is how my wife and I tag most of these 70's singles... and that's a good thing.(aka: "Their A&R man said 'I don't hear a single' - T. Petty)But wait... there's more:Freda Payne: Band of GoldPatrice Rushen: Forget Me NotsGreg Phillinganes: Behind the Mask (actually a cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyB Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Actually, the McCoys and Kingsmen charted a few times and had at least two top ten hits each.McCoys: "Hang on Sloopy" (#1) "Fever" (#7), and some others.Kingsmen: "Louie, Louie" (#2 for 6 weeks) and "Jolly Green Giant" (#4).Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird" is a great candidate, because the rest of their output flew under my radar. But even they managed a follow-up song that hit #30.As for Surfin' Bird, whenever that song came on the radio everything stopped for me while I listened to the end.

They opened for The Who on a 1967 tour. http://youtu.be/hclPPseW93o I was gonna post this one yesterday...always loved that tune and especially the guitar solo for its time. Guitarist Peppy Castro ended up in LI " supergroup" Barnaby Bye in the 70s, with the drummer from The Illusion and the Alessi Brothers for a couple LPs. They reunited a couple years ago and have been gigging again. Funny....I cannot remember how or why but I ended up down in the Alessi brother's home studio in their basement back in the 80s with them playing me new demos. Weird.

carfish7 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Going with "Jungle Love" by Morris Day and The Time.... Got an issue with them? Take it up with Jay and Silent Bob. Might be a regional "hit" thing, but "I Could Be Good For You" by 707 is a cool tune: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny....I cannot remember how or why but I ended up down in the Alessi brother's home studio in their basement back in the 80s with them playing me new demos. Weird. Blues Magoos was the first nationally popular rock band I ever saw. They did a freebie tour in the wake of their hit and came to the department store (Shillito's) about a mile down the road from me to play a set. I was in jr. hi but my brother could drive, so we went. Shillito's had cleared out the lawn'n'garden section to accommodate the crowd (or so they thought). It was not only my first exposure to a recorded and broadcast rock band, it was my first exposure to baby boomer rock'n'roll crowds. My brother and I pushed our way in a bit, heard them do a couple of tunes, got to hear them do their big hit, listened to a couple more songs and then split. This was 47 years ago. Now here's a real one-hit wonder from one year before--one album, one hit song, and the group disbanded--Psychotic Reaction by Count Five of San Jose, CA. As "Count Five" they affected a Dracula-like persona, dressing in black capes. Here's a publicity photo set in front of the Winchest Mystery House: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceeb Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I think this is one of the best pop songs ever for a number if reasons. New Radicals - You Get What You Give - Http://youtube.com/watch?v=DL7-CKirWZE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I`d love to find one of those ESP/Killer guitars........There are ESP Random Star Akira Takasaki models that pop up on eBay every now and then. They may have only been available in Japan. One of those will go out on a Loudness tour, but most of Akira's guitars are made by Killer Guitars.
