Heart & Soul: Kenny Vance, Singer, Songwriter, Film Maker The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series "They were my heroes. And then they became my friends.” In this moving new episode of The Not Old Better Show, we're honored to welcome musician, producer, and doo-wop preservationist Smithsonian Associate Kenny Vance—a voice behind Jay and the Americans and the filmmaker behind Heart & Soul: A Love Story. Kenny shares a deeply personal account of his lifelong connection to the music of the 1950s and '60s—harmonies sung on street corners, friendships formed in rehearsal halls, and the artists who paved the way for today's pop and R&B but were left behind by the industry. This episode isn't just about music; it's about legacy, resilience, and honoring voices that shaped a generation. Kenny also opens up about losing his home during Hurricane Sandy and how salvaged tapes and footage helped him begin again—with purpose. For professionals in music, film, storytelling, or anyone who believes in the power of cultural memory, this is a masterclass in what it means to preserve not just a sound, but a spirit.

Label: Gee 1071Year: 1961Condition: M-Price: $30.00This is an extraordinarily clean copy of this great single. The labels are almost Mint, and the vinyl and audio are Near Mint as well.

Label: RCA 0876Year: 1973Condition: M-Last Price: $25.00. Not currently available for sale.Most people born after 1980 assume that Nirvana wrote the classic "Man Who Sold The World," and they certainly did record an impressive version of it. In fact, the song fit so well with the grunge sound and modern rock in general that the mistake of youth is understandable. However, you've got to hear the original version by the song's author to appreciate it fully. Note that this release has the 5:05 version of "Space Oddity," which became Bowie's first top 40 hit in the U.S. This is a beautiful copy of both the vinyl record and its original picture sleeve.

Label: ABC 11272Year: 1970Condition: M-Price: $18.00This, the group's first single to crack the Hot 100, was a new version of Funk #48, which they released the previous year on Bluesway. Both are to-die-for classics of guitar rock, showcases for Joe Walsh. On this pressing, the title is spelled "Funk No. 49" rather than "Funk #49." Though not mentioned on the label, the Mono-mix 45 has a superior, edited version of a longer album track (the 45 edit is about 30 seconds shorter). Note: This copy comes in a vintage ABC Records factory sleeve.

Label: Coral 62558Year: 1969Condition: MPrice: $60.00This is a beautiful Mint copy of a single released in 1969 to commemorate Buddy Holly's untimely 1959 death, along with its striking picture sleeve. I had first heard this lovely version many years ago on a U.K.-released double album set Buddy Holly: Legend. The liner notes to that album describe the track as follows: "Love Is Strange" was one of Buddy's favorite songs. The version he recorded was around a minute long and the track included here has been "stretched" by splicing and re-recording the original tape. Norman Petty's later treatment of the recording, adding organ sounds to create the impression of strings, probably comes fairly close to Buddy's own ideas for the song. As for the B side, this rarity was cowritten with Waylon Jennings and not released until well after Holly's death. Among other places, it appeared on the B side of U.K. single in 1964. Upon hearing it, I knew I'd heard it before and after wracking my brain for awhile, I remembered that it was a version by the neo-Rockabilly singer/songwriter Billy Swan released in 1976 that was in my head. Other than that, I haven't heard any other versions, though it's indubitably hit material! Note: The 45 itself has Mint labels. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio sounds pristine. The great picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

Label: Wand 11215Year: 1970Condition: M-Price: $30.00Both sides of this obscure 1970 Soul single are top-notch keepers! The A side features some surprising, catchy rhythms that'll definitely keep your feet moving, and the B side has become a favorite... quite special. Listen to the MP3 snippet we've added to the "jukebox" to see if you agree. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Wand Records factory sleeve. Both sides of this styrene pressing have pristine mint audio.

Label: Estill 1000Year: 1968Condition: MPrice: $20.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy of the first issue of this terrific single, with the original South Carolina address shown for the record company.

Label: Dynamo 112Year: 1967Condition: M-Price: $20.00A real sleeper, this great track sneaks up on you and demands that you recognize how great it is. Eventually, you do... and you're hooked! Take a listen and hear for yourself. Note: This beautiful pressing looks Near Mint and has pristine Mint sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: Columbia 45472Year: 1971Condition: MPrice: $8.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole--in its original Columbia factory sleeve. Check out the mp3 "snippet" of this great, lesser-known Santana track from 1971.

Today we live in a cynical world. It's pervasive, this debilitating disbelief in our institutions, our once assured tenets of groundedness. Now we doubt, not only what we see, but what we hear, and even our own thoughts. Are they indeed our own? Or, have they been shaped by the unrelenting marketers and influencers? Back in the 80's - even earlier back in the 60's the attitudes of boredom and mistrust seemed exclusively the province of old school Europe, in particular the French, who invented the perfect word for it: Ennui. The great bon vivant, George Sanders, in his suicide note explained that he was leaving his life because he was bored. In the following offerings we celebrate a time when cynics could be appreciated as unique and exotic. CYNICAL GIRL by Marshall Crenshaw proclaims the lure of nihilism in a poppy, irresistible interpretation. And, THEM TERRIBLE BOOTS by the Orlons makes fun of a wannabe fashionista at the crossroads of burgeoning Mod style. MARSHALL CRENSHAWIn Marshall Crenshaw's 1982 eponymous debut album, CYNICAL GIRL chimed out so brightly it was a paused that refreshed. The singer wants a cynical girl who has no use for the real world, and this notion, wrapped in candy colored chords, invited us to embrace the “Debbie Downers” in our lives, and to realize there's something comforting in the dark side. Maybe we could save each other. Crenshaw, the latter-day, second coming of Buddy Holly even portrayed the Proto-Rock God in “La Bamba” and charmed the world with his unapologetic cheeriness. But the euphoria couldn't last. His debut outing achieved his highest chart position, but it was a bracing example of positivity while it lasted. THE ORLONSThis quartet of street-wise, Philly teens made the trsition from middlin' Doo-Wop practitioners to dance craze mega stars with their triple crown of chart toppers: Wah Watusi, Don't Hang Up, and South Street, evolving into one of Cameo-Parkway's hottest acts. THEM TERRIBLE BOOTS from 1962 was the B-side to South Street, and rode that comet's tail into recording history. It's an evocative glimpse into that time when the cultural landscape was in transition from the staid 50s to the super-charged 60s. The aforementioned cynicism is reflected in the mockery to which the dude who is wearing the mod clothes is subjected.  But, he was just probably a bit ahead of his time. When the only male member, (and survivor) of the group, Stephen Caldwell, repeats the title phrase in his basso profundo, the whole salty world view clicks into place. 

Label: Profile 5084Year: 1986Condition: M-Price: $9.00Essential mid-1980s techno dance pop, served up with a dollop of quirky humor. Flip is an instrumental version.

This is a first pressing, with the label name at the top of the label. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels with a touch of wear. The vinyl (styrene) looks Near Mint with a few scuffs, and the audio sounds pristine Mint! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)

Label: Dimension 1013Year: 1963Condition: M-Price: $30.00Not one of Little Eva's big hits, but definitely a worthy destination for fans of Girl Group Rock... check out the mp3 "snippet" I've posted for the A side. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels, with a small abrasion on the A side. The vinyl and audio grade Near Mint ... the A side audio is pristine!

Label: Columbia 04463Year: 1984Condition: M-Price: $15.00The terrific B side is a previously unreleased, non-LP cut. The A-label has two numbered stickers as well as an clear address label. The vinyl and audio are very close to mint. We are always happy to find this one with a virtually flawless picture sleeve -- no ringwear and bright, shiny and crisp!

Label: Sire 29840Year: 1982Condition: MLast Price: $16.00. Not currently available for sale.Terrific, almost-retro, power pop hit, backed with the very dark but beautiful 'My City Was Gone,' which incidentally places at #949 in Marsh's top 1001. That B side is an edited version of the 5:14 album cut. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless!

Label: WB 7163Year: 1968Condition: MPrice: $14.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. OK, how many of you remember this song but had no idea what it was called? I see lots of hands out there!

Note: This beautiful copy has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: World Pacific 77808Year: 1966Condition: M-Last Price: $14.00. Not currently available for sale.After you soak in the early morning bliss on the A side, be sure to check out the B side of this great single... one of my personal favorite sunshine pop tracks, with a hook that just won't quit! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage World Pacific Records factory sleeve. Note: This scan is a representative image from our archives.

Label: Atco 6359Year: 1965Condition: M-Price: $25.00This is one of the nicest copies of this classic single that I've had to offer since opening the store in 2001... a solid Near Mint copy with Mint audio. Check out the mp3 "snippet". (Collector's note: This release is common in conditions less than Near Mint, but copies in truly collectable condition are quite rare.) It's also worth noting that this single appears on both the Dave Marsh Top 1,001 Singles (#228) and the Rolling Stone Top 500 Songs (#451) lists! That's one of the reasons it's hard to keep in stock! Also check out Sonny Bono's stab at Garage Rock on the B side... it's really pretty nasty! :-) Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint with a touch of wear. The vinyl looks Near Mint with a few light scuffs, and the audio sounds pristine Mint.

Label: Reprise 0564Year: 1967Condition: M-Price: $25.00The B side of this monster Psych-rocker may not have charted, but I actually think it tops the Top 40 A side.

Label: MGM 13567Year: 1966Condition: M-Price: $20.00British singer Farlowe had success with a number of Jagger-Richards compositions in the mid-1960's, including this one also produced by Mick Jagger. Jagger has brought in arranger Art Greenslade for this recording, who adds some very effective and arty touches to the lesser-known Stones classic. Check out the mp3 "snippet" of the song. "Out Of Time" was on the U.K. version of the Stones LP Aftermath, but it was left off of the U.S. version for some reason, winding up on a compilation LP the following year. The Stones didn't release the song as a single, letting Farlowe's Jagger-produced version become a #1 hit in the U.K. and producing his only brush with the U.S. Hot 100. In the U.S., Farlowe's 45 was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. It grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

What is it about a swing rhythm that sets hearts a flutter? It's a universal truth. It may have started as an African secret formula, but it was co-opted and catapulted into white western culture by some hip caucasian standard bearers.Here we'll examine the psycho-physical connection through two seemingly unrelated musical delicacies: one by the undisputed titan of respectable jazz, and the other by a racially mixed group of Philadelphia teens who barely made it out before the doo-wop death spiral. Bongo Stomp, from 1962, by Little Joey and the Flips, doesn't even feature real bongos (the drummer Jeff Leonard is simulating the jungle signature on his toms). But, it definitely swings. The other showcases legendary stickman, Gene Krupa, who showed the world his undeniable big swinging dick energy. BENNY GOODMAN1938 was ground zero, the big bang, the crossroads of Jazz and its soon to be birthed step-child, Rock n Roll. Benny Goodman and his band played Carnegie Hall and made history. First as a cultural event, and later, when the live recording was released in 1950 as a double album which sold over a million copies. Bei Mir Bist Du Schöen is a defiantly wonderful conglomeration of Yiddish lyrics delivered by Martha Tilton- (remember, simultaneously, Hitler was ramping up his power in Europe) - and, an irresistible swing rhythm smoothly rendered - which breaks into a kind of super charged klezmer section. It must have been startling in 1938, and it hasn't lost its power to captivate almost 100 years later. LITTLE JOEY AND THE FLIPSBy 1962, Doo-Wop was about to be consigned to the dust bin of History, along with the crooners that had dominated the previous decade. The British Invasion was about to begin, which would turn the record business on its head. But, just prior to that cataclysm, Joseph Hall and his 4 Pendleton wearing compadres arrive, dip dip dipping their striped hearts out, and they release this anomaly on Joy Records, which makes it to 33 on the charts. This was followed by only a couple more tries… then, oblivion. Maybe it was that swinging “bongo” break that lifted the Frankie Lymon-esque knock-off to its catchy heights? 

Label: Shelter 40238 djYear: 1974Condition: M-Last Price: $10.00. Not currently available for sale.Stereo/Mono promo copy.

Little Anthony and the Imperials: A Doo-Wop Legend Who Still Shines BrightIn the golden age of American music, few voices soared as high—or cut as deep—as that of Little Anthony. Born Jerome Gourdine in Brooklyn, Little Anthony became one of the most distinctive and emotional falsettos in soul, doo-wop, and classic pop music history. As the lead singer of Little Anthony and the Imperials, his voice helped define an era, touching hearts with hits like “Tears on My Pillow,” “Goin' Out of My Head,” and “Hurt So Bad.” His music not only broke chart records but also broke barriers between genres, blending doo-wop harmonies, soul grooves, and pop sensibilities in a way that left a lasting mark on American R&B history.Before the spotlight, Little Anthony grew up in a neighbourhood immersed in gospel and street-corner harmonies. Young Jerome began singing doo-wop as a teenager. He joined a vocal group called The Duponts, who released a single in 57.His big break came when he joined The Chesters, a vocal group that would soon rename itself The Imperials. With Jerome now taking center stage as “Little Anthony”—a nickname given by a legendary due to his youthful appearance and high-pitched voice—the group's sound clicked immediately. His natural falsetto became their signature.In 58, the group signed to a label. Their debut single, “Tears on My Pillow,” exploded on the charts. With its raw emotion, aching falsetto, and lush harmonies, the song became an anthem of teen heartache and a pillar of 1950s American pop.From that point, Little Anthony and the Imperials embarked on a journey that would bring them lasting fame. They followed up with hits like “Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop,” “I'm on the Outside (Looking In),” “Goin' Out of My Head,” and “Hurt So Bad.” It was Little Anthony's voice that made the group stand out during the changing tides of 60s music, when the British Invasion and Motown were reshaping the industry.Songs like “Goin' Out of My Head” became pop-soul classics, covered by countless artists across genres—from Frank Sinatra to The Lettermen.Their sound matured in the 60s, becoming more orchestrated and polished. Working with producers like Teddy Randazzo, they crafted sophisticated, adult-oriented pop-soul that prefigured the lush soul ballads of later decades.In 2009, Little Anthony and the Imperials were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The induction was presented by Smokey Robinson, who praised Anthony's emotive voice and the group's groundbreaking blend of genres. Unlike many of his peers, Little Anthony has remained active well into his 80s, still taking to the stage with the same passion and charisma that made him a star in the 50s. Whether singing at doo-wop revival shows, soul festivals, or headlining his own concerts, Little Anthony still delights audiences wherever he goes.His presence remains strong on platforms like PBS specials, oldies cruises, and classic soul tours, where fans young and old gather to hear the voice that made them fall in love with music in the first place.Little Anthony's music is more than a nostalgic reminder of the past—it's a living, breathing testament to the power of vocal harmony, heartfelt songwriting, and soul-stirring performance. His contributions helped shape not only the sound of doo-wop but also the emotional core of American soul and pop. His hits continue to be rediscovered by younger audiences and sampled in modern tracks, proving the timeless appeal of his work.As the frontman of one of the most influential vocal groups of all time, Little Anthony remains a legend—not just for his voice, but for his passion, resilience, and devotion to the music.

Label: MGM 13813 djYear: 1967Condition: M-Price: $16.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed promo copy, in its original factory sleeve. Sunshine Pop lovers of the world unite! Here's a Greenaway-Cook rarity that will keep your toe tappin' and your mouth smilin'. This was the group's last single on Co & Ce, and unfortunately never made it onto Top 40 playlists. When MGM picked up the Co & Ce catalog, they released this one Vogues single. It would be a year and a half before the group re-emerged on Warner Bros.' Reprise label to score a couple of hits in 1968-69. Note: This copy comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve.

THE CONSUMMATE SHOWMAN, JOHNNY PETILLO VETERAN OF STAGE AND SONG JOHNNY PETILLO   New Jersey has long had a reputation for putting out some of the most impressive lounge singers known in the world and holds its claim to fame with Frank Sinatra.  Originally a Jersey boy out of Hoboken, Sinatra went on to become one of the most well-known members of the Rat Pack.  Jersey hasn't stopped producing legends, however, and Johnny Petillo is a proud member of the ranks of Doo Wop and Rat Pack shows to come out of New Jersey in the years that followed.  If you enjoy the tonal qualities of doo-wop favorites mixed with a splash of comedy, Johnny Petillo should be on your list. Google Photos Johnny has a long-standing passion for music, standing on the street corners of Asbury Park belting out his soulful tones to captivated audiences.  When he first got his start he may have only been locally famous, but as his notoriety grew he eventually found his way onto the European charts with his hit record “Kiss Me Quick.”  He would soon get to go to Europe and tour the countries there, as well as the United States, with the band Danny and the Juniors.  World fame was essentially guaranteed for this talented boy from Jersey. Google Photos The years to follow would show Johnny refining his craft even further, and he served for some time as lead singer with The Duprees.  It was on the back of his voice that the group went on to have such incredible singles as “Have you heard” and “You Belong To Me”, two songs that would make them famous.  Like most of his contemporaries, Johnny Petillo was a rolling stone, and his career wouldn't stand still. Google Photos Due to the quality of his performances, Johnny Petillo was afforded one of the biggest honors an artist of his time could receive, he was invited to appear on The Tonight Show, as well as Late Night with David Letterman.  An invitation to the White House didn't hold the same prestige as sharing a few minutes in the limelight with these late night talk-show celebrities. Google Photos Johnny's successful career hasn't led him to forget the days where he was still reaching out to his audience in small venues and comedy clubs.  He still tours these locations to this very day and can be seen performing in locations that range from smokey lounge bars to Madison Square Garden. Google Photos His suite of talents is broad, allowing him to advertise himself as “Johnny Petillo's Doo Wop & Rat Pack One Man Show”, and those who recruit his services are in for an absolute delight.  Johnny's talent includes a soulful voice that he uses to perform original pieces, as well as doing impressions of some of the most talented Rat Pack members from history.  What's a night of good music with a few laughs?  A great night out, which is why Johnny brings his talents as a comedian to the table to brighten up an evening of powerful, nostalgic music.

From Carnegie Hall to theDooWop Cafe – Meet Phyllis Allyn Some talents are undeniable from an early age, and Phyllis Allyn is no exception.

Label: A&M 8578Year: 1969Condition: M-Price: $8.00Originally released on A&M 1039, this is a powerful Phil Spector production with a great vocal by Sonny Charles. The Checkmates' first single, it's just as great--though not nearly so famous--as the hit 'Black Pearl' that followed. A must-have for Spector collectors. This is a copy of the A&M "Forget Me Nots" reissue. This beautiful reissue has pristine Mint audio!

Label: I.R.S. 9907Year: 1982Condition: M-Price: $12.00This is a beautiful stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This is simply one of the very best girl group songs of all time. Unlike their Sixties counterparts, though, these girls write their own songs, play their own electric guitars and drums, and sing about the lovelife of working girls who are way past sweet sixteen! The audio is pristine Mint!

Your quarterly installment of doo wop goodness.

Label: Columbia 11388Year: 1980Condition: MLast Price: $10.00. Not currently available for sale.From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. This is one of two great, hard-to-find singles released from the Rockpile album Seconds of Pleasure. Rockpile was a band formed by Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Of the two singles, this was the first, and also the only one that charted. Note: This beautiful stock copy has Mint labels and pristine audio. The vinyl (styrene) is graded Near Mint to reflect some faint storage wear.

Label: Elektra 45720Year: 1971Condition: M-Last Price: $18.00. Not currently available for sale.I still think this is my favorite Bread track... the lyrics are hopelessly romantic, but that's just what you want when you're hopelessly in love. And the arrangement suits the mood perfectly. David Gates has concocted a perfect Pop confection that should not be dismissed merely because it is so. The sheer beauty of the music, song, voice, lyrics literally brings me to tears when I'm in a certain mood. The vision of my dear wife coming and "pouring herself on me" when I'm feeling down, and of our ultimately "flying away" from our worldly cares and woes together, evokes such poignancy for me that I feel it's happening... as the music plays. I finally found a copy of with audio good enough to record for my iTunes library, but when I began to make the mp3 "snippet" for Classic 45s, I simply could not find a reasonable place to edit this nearly perfect musical "poem," so I ended up including the entire 2:33 song as the snippet. If you are inclined to dismiss Bread and David Gates, do me a favor and listen to the entirety of the snippet. This level of creativity in Soft Rock definitely deserves our 2-star recommendation, and I hope you agree. Enjoy! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve with no notable flaws. The labels look Mint, and the vinyl (styrene) looks almost Mint. Fortunately, this copy, while not perfect, is close enough to earn a rare (for this pressing) Near Mint audio rating. Have a listen to the snippet, and you'll agree you can imagine a more perfect rendition, but you have to admit this Mono mix is gorgeous!

Label: Columbia 45259 djYear: 1970Condition: M-Last Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale.One of the group's last singles, this is a neglected classic. Great melodic story with an unforgettable hook on the A side, and a sea of shimmering guitars on the B side. This promo copy grades close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy doesn't have the stamp shown.)

This week's guest curator is Jay Sweet, my former Tunestiles Podcast co-host, along with friend of the show Jimmy Mitchell, and we're crafting a second playlist filled with golden oldies & doo wop classics from the 50's & 60's! And, just like Vol. 1, we're revisiting the classics that not only made headlines during the 50's & 60's, but also during the 80's & 90's, when a lot of these songs saw a revival through the covers versions that were becoming hits all over again, because of features in hit movies.  Be sure to visit MyWeeklyMixtape.com to hear all of the songs we discussed in this episode, and join the My Weekly Mixtape Discord Server via the link on the episode page!
