Featured The Ad Libs/The Boy From New York City (1964)

From my vintage vinyl collection:

The December 1964 Blue Cat Records 45 rpm first pressing of The Ad Libs/The Boy From New York City. I’m still waiting for that Boy From New York City.....


*I spoke with my Mom on the phone this evening & we got into some of the things I liked when I was still in diapers lol (that’s what brought this post on, memories; sorry for my indulgence but sometimes things in our collections mean a little more if there’s a memory or story attached to it). My Mom said whenever they played this song, I would stop what I was doing, smile, giggle & toddler dance, good thing they never had smartphones to capture that, thanks Mom ❤️

I’ve got quite a few original Platter Pak record cases just bursting with classic 45’s and all are in incredible playing condition.

 

Love this kinda music, considered Doo-wop ?

Reminds me a bit of the students, heard this one recently that I really like

 

Oooh! I love that one @charlie cheswick thank you for sharing.

 

@charlie cheswick Here is another one of my faves.

 

Your welcome

I've become accustomed to waking up to a maven classic

Keep em a coming

 

Why thank you @charlie cheswick very nice of you to say, I’m glad to hear you like the Maven Music

 

Love it !

I was worried for a minute that it was Pretty Little Angel Eyes - Curtis Lee 1961

Which I once had stuck in my head for at least a week !

All these doo-wop classics have the same standard chord progression, always C / Am / F / G

(Naughty little face emoji)

 

That’s a great one @charlie cheswick I bet we could go all day long with the music back and forth lol

Here’s one that gets me to a shufflin’ some mornings

It’s by The Sensations, a group from Philadelphia I believe.

 

I agree, gets the shoulders a shuffling that one

 

The backbeat of the bass & drums just gets into you, and it makes you want to move!

 

One more @charlie cheswick before I go....this one is more of an r&b groove to it, but it’s a good song for a Friday!

 

And when I get a little bit country.....my favourite by this guy!

 

The ultimate late nite “After Hours” classic

 

My favourite yet, love how her voice soars

Surprised I haven't heard it before

Thanks maven

And alexa add to my soft play list !!

 

You are welcome! I love the expression of longing she portrays in her voice, you can feel it in every note sung. And musically, I need not say more, the song speaks for itself.

 

i can hear that influence with artists like anthony and the johnsons

 

have a guess what the chords are for maybe, C Am F G

its a winning combination !!

 

Oooooh I like that one, beautiful song @charlie cheswick

 

@charlie cheswick it’s been a late nite for the Maven, so for now I’ll leave you with some classic Frankie❤️
