bring your records

I really dug a recent show by a guest deejay on WMBR's Lost and Found who brought in his childhood 45s from the 1950s and 60s in his original cases. It was a fantastic musical glimpse into his life. I put many of the songs into the "I would've bought that 45" category. Thanks for a cool show. Here are some of my favorites....


Three Cool Cats, The Coasters, 1959 (Beatles' version)


The Honeydripper, The Kirby Stone Four, 1960   


The Honeydripper, Joe Liggins, 1945


Stop, Baby, The Four Preps, 1958



Click Clack, Dickey Doo and the Don'ts, 1958
I love their name. This is the type of song the whole family sang along with while driving on vacation in the car. Whoooooaaaaahhh!
