R&B Doo Wop Brown-Eyed Soul Rock & Roll Novelty Olympics - All-Time Greatest Hits!
Цитата:
The Olympics were one of the great L.A.-based acts who managed to score regional hits on the West Coast by balancing upbeat and often humorous novelty R&B tunes with those about popular dances of the day. They are perhaps best remembered for their Coasters-derived "Western Movies," but their other L.A.-area hits include the popular dance number "Baby Hully Gully," "Big Boy Pete" (which stalled out at number 50 pop, but went to number ten R&B), and "Mine Exclusively."
The Olympics' original lineup started out as Walter Ward & the Challengers, waxing "I Can Tell" in 1958. All three baritone leads rarely exploited their low range, preferring to sing in shrill high tones. They changed their name to the Olympics shortly thereafter, hooking up with the songwriting team of Fred Smith and Cliff Goldsmith, who wrote and produced the act's first hit in 1958 for Si Aronson's Hollywood-based Demon Records. "Western Movies," a Coasters-type novelty number, caught on quickly, right around the same time that all of America was preoccupied with Western-themed movies and TV shows. The single climbed to number eight pop and number seven R&B in 1958. For their numerous A-sides (for several labels), the Olympics preferred to issue inner-city generated dance ditties, including the Smith/Goldsmith-penned "(Baby) Hully Gully," "The Philly Dog," "The Slop," and "The Duck" (a local hit for Jackie Lee). The group only occasionally performed ballads, like the doo-wop inspired "Stay Where You Are," and a few rockers like "Shimmy Like Kate" and "Dance by the Light of the Moon." Mostly, the Olympics attempted to duplicate their hit status with novelty songs along the lines of "Western Movies." Their biggest success in the novelty realm was their remake of "Big Boy Pete," written and first recorded by Don & Dewey for Specialty. Other regional hits included "Little Pedro," "Little Dooley," and "Big Chief Little Foot" (which featured "war whoops"). Others, like the humorous "Dodge City" and "(I Wanna) Dance With the Teacher" sound like teenage West Coast Americana at its most innocent (though at the time, extremist church groups saw nothing innocent about this type of material and often complained that their lyrics were the work of the devil). 2 - Western Movies 3 - Big Boy Pete 4 - Private Eye 5 - (I Wanna) Dance With the Teacher 6 - (Baby) Hully Gully 7 - Dance by the Light of the Moon 8 - Shimmy Like Kate 9 - Baby It's Hot 10 - The Slop 11 - Ain't No Big Thing 12 - Big Chief Little Foot 13 - Dooley 14 - Stay Away from Joe 15 - Workin' Hard 16 - I'll Never Fall in Love 17 - Scotch 18 - Bye Bye Baby 19 - Little Pedro 20 - Boo-Dee Green 21 - Shame, Shame, Shame 22 - Dodge City 23 - Big Chief Little Foot 24 - How Long Will It Take 25 - Peanut Butter (The Marathons) 26 - El Pizza Скрытый текст (вы должны зарегистрироваться или войти под своим логином):
