During his decade (1975-1985) as one of the lead singers of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group The Drifters, Blunt was privileged to perform alongside the legendary Ben E. King (Stand By Me) and the great Johnny Moore (Under The Boardwalk). During this period, The Drifters experienced a significant career resurgence, especially in England, where the group returned to the top of the charts with several top 10 hits, major tours, and media appearances. Joe received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Sony Music for his service to the music industry as a member of The Drifters on the Bell/Arista Record labels. Sony Music also awarded Blunt a Gold Disc for his contributions to the compilation CD, "The Drifters: The Very Best Of," certified Gold in the U.K. Blunt retired from The Drifters and returned to his musical roots as a gospel music performer in D.C. He was also a member the trio “Voices Of Classic Soul". The group toured extensively all across the country and made dozens of media appearances, with Blunt singing lead on crowd-pleasing Drifters classics, including "Under The Boardwalk," "This Magic Moment," "On Broadway," "Up On The Roof," and King's "Stand By Me." Blunt retired from performing in 2023. Joe Blunt began his singing career while a student at D.C.'s McKinley Tech High School, signing his first recording contract with Cap City Records as a member of The Chancellors. Joe was the lead singer on the group's 1968 debut single,” Sad Avenue.” The group, however, may be best remembered as producing a future member of The Temptations, a member of The Platters, and, in 1975, Joe Blunt became a member of the legendary Drifters.
Bert Berns and Nat Weiss are two giants of the music industry, yet both relatively unknown to the public. Bert Berns was one of the foremost songwriters and producers of pop and rhythm and blues in the ‘60s. His hits include “Twist And Shout”, which The Beatles took to international fame, “Piece Of My Heart”, Janis Joplin's gigantic hit, “Hang On Sloopy”, the mega-hit for The McCoys, “Cry To Me”, a hit for Solomon Burke and later for The Rolling Stones, and “Tell Him”, a great early ‘60s song for the Exciters. His producer credits include “Brown Eyed Girl”, Van Morrison's first smash hit, "Under The Boardwalk" by The Drifters, and "Cherry Cherry" by Neil Diamond. Nat Weiss was a lawyer by training. He became the U.S. business partner of Brian Epstein, the manager of The Beatles, and was Brian's right hand man for the band in America, including sorting out all the merchandising opportunities coming their way. Nat parlayed this relationship into one where he would suggest artists for Brian to manage, including The Cyrkle. They formed a management company together and, after Brian's death, Nat continued the business, managing artists like James Taylor.---------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!For more information and other episodes of the podcast click here.

AN EVENING WITH CHAZ JANKEL On 31st August 2023 we at The CAT Club were lucky to be in the company of one of the most fertile talents in British pop music, Chaz Jankel was at the epicentre of Ian Dury & The Blockheads, acting as the mercurial Londoner's sidekick, songwriting partner and musical director. If Dury brought the rock and the roll to their music, then Jankel delivered the funk into punk. But there is another side to Chaz: that of songwriter and solo performer and thanks to cult club hits like 3,000,000 Synths and Glad To Know You, an underground dance hero. Working alongside studio wiz, Phlip Bagenal, who not only engineered many of his best works, and with whom he also founded Eastcote Studios, Jankel was responsible for some of best and most experimental dance records to come from these shores. Jankel's first solo collaboration was with veteran songwriter Kenny Young (who co-wrote Under The Boardwalk) whose lyrics had been inspired by a recent and controversial Japanese movie called Ai No Corrida. It eventually ended up in the hands of Quincy Jones, and it was enough to win a deal with A&M, which eventually yielded five albums. Glad To Know You, co-written with Ian Dury (and later covered by Kitty Grant), was a huge club hit in the USA, spending 6 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100. His latest release is the acclaimed Flow album. Chaz was with us at The CAT Club in 2020 when the featured album was Ian Dury's New Boots and Panties! Six of the album's ten tracks were co-written by Dury and Jankel as was the legendary Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. We were delighted to welcome him back for what proved to be a truly wonderful evening with the great man. CAT Club stalwart JASON BARNARD was in the interviewer's chair.

His Dad is in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Billy Ward's Dominoes & The Drifters.Ruth Brown used her influence to press for musicians' rights regarding royalties and contracts; these efforts led to the founding of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.

On Memorial Day Weekend, lifeguards will once again be perched in their towers and New York City will celebrate the reopening of Coney Island's beach for swimming. Episode 8 shares the stories of days at the beach from the 1920s through the 1990s taken from the Coney Island History Project's Oral History Archive.The stories include childhood memories of family outings, a hidden playground under the boardwalk, a lava hot spot on the sand, the knish man, teenage memories of daring swimsuits, summer jobs renting beach chairs and umbrellas, and working as a lifeguard. Memories span the 1920s, when beach goers were fined as much $5 each - the equivalent of $75 today - for walking on the boardwalk in bathing suits, to the 1990s, when “under the boardwalk” was filled in with sand and a way of life changed forever.The oral histories in the podcast are with Joseph Albanese, Connie Scacciaferro, Richard Termini, Ron Vernon, Steve Larkin, and Crystal Isley. The interviews were conducted from 2009 to 2019 by Charles Denson, Amanda Deutch, Samira Tazari, and Tricia Vita. You can search and listen online to over 390 oral history interviews in our archive via https://www.coneyislandhistory.org/oral-history-archive.

The Collage - She’s Just Laughing At Me (1967) The same guys that wrote this wrote "Never My Love" for The Association. Produced by Steven Douglas. I love this song, but they were no Free Design. Fox - S-S-S-Single Bed (1976) Reached #4 in the UK, did not reach anything in the US. Written by Kenny Young, who co-wrote "Under The Boardwalk" and "Arizona". Steve Wonder - Evil (1972) Doris - Did You Give The World Some Love Today, Baby? (1970) This whole album kicks ass. Bee Gees - Lovers (1976) Waylon Jennings - MacArthur Park (1969) Part of the dramatic churn of the original was contained in Jimmy Webb's orchestral arrangements, as well as the interval-rich chords. Everyone loves Waylon, but this is disappointingly flat. Tony Bruno - I’m Feeling It Now (1969) God, I love this guy. As you know, Tony found his way into the world of pornography soundtracks. This was before that. Produced by Artie Ripp, who also produced: "Come A Little Bit Closer" by Jay and the Americans (1964) "Remember (Walkin' in the Sand)" by the Shangri-La's (1964) "Just One Look" by Doris Troy (1963) Annette - When You Get What You Want (1967) Strontium 90 - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic (1976) Gene Marshall - Smoke It - The Pot (?) This song-poem was probably from the 70's. Kate Smith - Daydream (1966) POACA will recall that Kate Smith's recording of "God Bless America" was the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers' pre-game theme. They won two Stanley Cups in the mid-'70s, one against my Buffalo Sabres. She occasionally sang this in person, even! She had a radio, television, and recording career spanning five decades, which reached its pinnacle in the 1940s. She became known as The Songbird of the South after her enduring popularity during World War II. The Flyers' record when "God Bless America" was played or sung in person stood at a remarkable 100 wins, 29 losses, and five ties as of April 20, 2016. In 1969, in light of Jim Morrison's arrest in Miami for indecent exposure, Smith had performed with The Lettermen, Anita Bryant, and Jackie Gleason in a concert demonstration against indecency, for which President Richard Nixon commended the stars' performances. But as we all know, Father Time has a way of turning even Kate Smith into a tone-deaf whitey pariah. From Wikipedia: Smith's rendition of "God Bless America" was played during the seventh-inning stretch of New York Yankees home games from 2009 until April 2019, when the practice was discontinued amid controversy surrounding her 1931 recordings of "That's Why Darkies Were Born" and "Pickaninny Heaven." The following day, the Philadelphia Flyers followed suit. Her statue at The Spectrum (where the Flyers played) was removed on April 21, 2019. Her family responded by denying the racism allegations. Mel Torme - Molly Marlene (1967) Neil MacArthur - She’s Not There (1969) A re-imagining of the Zombies hit by Colin Blunstone who also sang the original. For The Zombies. Nora Guthrie - Emily’s Illness (1967) More info. Nora was Woody's daughter. Arlo's sister. Paul Jones - Sheena Is a Punk Rocker (1978) I was never a big fan of The Ramones OR Manfred Mann, so this doesn't bother me much. A strange attempt at irony. Roger Nichols and the Small Circle of Friends - Don’t Go Breaking My Heart (1968) Alan Price - House of the Rising Sun (1980) I was never a big fan of The Animals either, but I don't understand the keyboard player's upending of their big first hit. Bill Haley - Travelin’ Band (1972) Bobby Darin - Melodie (1970) On the Motown label. Clarence Carter - Backdoor Santa (1968) Klaatu - Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (1976) You have to know this story. If you're here, you know this story. Radio station WAMS out of Wilmington, Deleware included an insert known as "Klaatu Clues" that promoted the conspiracy that Klaatu were actually the reunited Beatles. No songwriting credits, no musician names, and a hungry populace eager for any signs of a reunion pushed this pretty silly record to #32 in the US. Capitol Records (who controlled the Beatles' music in the U.S.) tried to make as much of the rumors as possible, by issuing ambiguously-worded statements that failed to make the band's identity entirely clear. The rumor was disproved when Dwight Douglas, program director at WWDC in Washington, D.C., checked the records at the U.S. Copyright Office and uncovered the band members' real names. One of which was John Woloschuk. Richard Carpenter was a fan, and The Carpenters covered this. OR he was high on Quaaludes and hallucinated Klaatu while he was lying at the bottom of the stairs, and Karen promised him that they would do this song if he got better. Davey Johnstone - Keep Right On (1973) A very good song by the Elton John guitarist. He should have done more. Dennis Wilson - Constant Companion (1977) From the unreleased "Bamboo" album. It's a pity. Better than anything his band (The Beach Boys) was doing at that time or since. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder - Pops, We Love You (A Tribute to Father) (1978) Very strange. "Pops" in this case is Berry "Pops" Gordy, Sr., father of Motown founder Berry Gordy. He had died that year from cancer. Gordy Jr. commissioned this to be made in his memory. All that star power couldn't push the single past #59. When I die, get all my superstar friends together and make them release a song about me. Call it something like "Functional is the Opposite of What I Was." Sha Na Na - Drug PSA (1973?) The Walker Brothers - The Electrician (1978) Listen to this. The previous Walker Brothers single was a cover of Boz Scaggs' "We're All Alone" which is great, but if you were a Walker Brothers fan in 1978, and there were a waning number of them if any, you just weren't prepared for this. This was a kind of blueprint for Scott Walker's solo career moving forward. Disturbing and wonderful. Shawn Cassidy - Wasp (1980) A last try to salvage a teeny-bopper career by hiring Todd Rundgren to produce, and members of Utopia to play. Billy Preston - Slaughter (1972) From the film Slaughter, which starred Jim Brown. Link Wray and his Wraymen- The Batman Theme (1966) Marcia Strassman - The Flower Children (1967) The "Welcome Back Kotter" star got her start singing these little odes to flower power. This is one of the most desperately 1967 things I've ever heard, and the shelf life was very brief. Osmonds - Utah (1972) The Swingers - Bay-Hay Bee Doll JC Penney Giveaway Premium (1966) Wolfman Jack - Sunny (?) AGC was a label out of Italy. Maybe 1970?
After flicking through Mackenzie Astin, Keith Coogan (yes, again), Married To The Mob, Tom Cruise, and more (Glemby) in What Now, it's on to the reviews. How do we vibe with the star ratings given to Rick Astley, Madonna, and R.E.M. -- of course -- in Listen Up? What about Moonstruck and September in Watch It? Then, once we revisit Charlie Schlatter, our very first One To Watch, it's on to the pop culture features. Christina and an Iain Blair tag-team to profile a circa-Less Than Zero Robert Downey Jr. Then John Elder pervs all over poor Justine Bateman.

Shel Silverstein - Boy Named Sue (1969) Silverstein introduced it to Johnny Cash at what they used to call a "guitar pull," where musicians would pass a guitar around and play their songs. He was the main songwriter for Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, and he wrote "The Giving Tree". Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds - Ain't No Woman Like The One I Got (1972) From Discogs: Hallway Symphony was the second studio album of the band Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, released in 1972. It was their final album for the Dunhill label. That same year, Tommy Reynolds quit the group to form a band called Shango; different session musicians took his place in their touring and recording before Alan Dennison replaced him permanently a year later (but the band kept their original name of "Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds"). In 1973, the band was dropped from Dunhill due to lack of chart success, but they continued touring and performing live in Las Vegas and various colleges, thanks to the continuing radio play of their huge hit "Don't Pull Your Love." The guys who wrote this also smeared their scent on AM radio thusly: "One Tin Soldier" (1971) The Original Caste, (1973) Coven "Don't Pull Your Love" (1971), Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds "Two Divided by Love" (1971), The Grass Roots "Are You Man Enough" (1973), Four Tops (From Shaft in Africa) "Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in L.A.)" (1975), Glen Campbell "It Only Takes a Minute" (1975), Tavares "Nightshift" (1985), Commodores "We Built This City" (1985), Starship Yes, do tell your friends that they recorded "Falling In Love" on Playboy Records, the only #1 for that label. Peter, Paul, and Mary - And When I Die (1966) Family Dogg - Arizona (1969) This would be a big solo hit for Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders, who I like. The fellow who wrote this, Kenny Young, also wrote "Under The Boardwalk" by The Drifters. Johnny Madara & the Juvenaires - Do The Bop (1957) When Danny & the Juniors were still called The Juvenairs. Initially called "Do the Bop", the song was heard by Dick Clark, who suggested they change the band name to the Juniors and the chorus from "Let's all do the Bop" to "Let's go to the Hop". After performing the song on Clark's show American Bandstand, it gained popularity and went to the top of the US charts, remaining at number one for five weeks. Connie Stevens - Keep Growing Strong (Betcha By Golly Wow) (1970) You couldn't watch TV without seeing Connie Stevens in the '70s. It's strange that such a scattershot discography (she recorded mostly in the early '60s) should feature such a great song. In fact, I don't see mention of it at all on her website, which, I'm sure was last updated years ago. Her daughter Joely was on Ellen (the show, not the woman) and keeps plugging away. Like you and me. Johnny Rivers - By The Time I Get to Phoenix (1965) Petula Clark - Call Me (1965) David Martin - Can't Smile Without You (1975) Gator Creek - Danny’s Song (1970) Anne Murray turned this into a hit a few years later. This song was written by the fella that sang "Footloose" and duetted with Stevie Nicks on "Whenever I Call You Friend". Gator Creek included Michael Omartian, who went on to produce Christopher Cross, Whitney Houston, and Michael Bolton. So...thanks? PJ Proby - Delilah (1967) Shorty Long - Devil With The Blue Dress On (1964) From that Wikipedia: Long's biggest hit was "Here Comes the Judge" which in July 1968 reached No. 4 on the R&B charts and No. 8 eight on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was inspired by a comic act on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In about a judge by Pigmeat Markham, whose own "Here Comes the Judge" – a similar song with different lyrics – charted three weeks after Long's, also in July 1968, and reached No. 19 on Billboard. Long was the only Motown artist besides Smokey Robinson who was allowed to produce his own recordings in the 1960s. Marvin Gaye, in David Ritz's biography Divided Soul: The Life & Times of Marvin Gaye, described Shorty Long as "this beautiful cat who had two hits, and then got ignored by Motown." Gaye claimed he "fought for guys like Shorty" while at Motown, since no one ever pushed for these artists. When Holland-Dozier-Holland came to Gaye with a tune, he stated, "Why are you going to produce me? Why don't you produce Shorty Long?" On June 29, 1969, Long and a friend drowned when their boat crashed on the Detroit River in Michigan. Stevie Wonder played the harmonica at his burial and placed it on his casket afterward. Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In inspired many, many records. One by Freddie Cannon. It's shit. Most of them are. The Greenbriar Boys - Different Drum (1966) Great song? Meh. Rhymes "knock it" with "market". Larry Williams - Dizzy Miss Lizzy (1958) The Exciters - Doo Wah Diddy (1963) Best known for their hit single, "Tell Him" which reached #4 on the US charts in February 1963. Thelma Houston - Do You Know Where You're Going To (1973) This was made into a monster hit as "Love Theme From 'Mahogany'" by Diana Ross in 1975. I guess anything can be a "love theme". These are the lyrics to the version everyone knows: Once we were standing still in time,Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds.And you knew how I loved you but my spirit was free,Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me..... Now looking back at all we planned,We let so many dreams just slip through our hands.Why must we wait so long before we seeHow sad the answers to those questions can be? And here are the previous, somewhat inscrutable lyrics sung by Thelma Houston: Sometimes, while standing still in time,You think you leave the thoughts that filled your minds.Now we've both been to Stoney Brook, just hanging out, We've had a look and seen what nothing's about..... Now, what am I to say to you?What kind of prayer am I to pray for you?I can only do my best and tell ya what I see,And if you see the rest, please send it to me... The Moments - We Don't Cry Out Loud (1976) Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes - Don't Leave Me This Way (1975) This was made into a monster hit by Thelma Houston in 1976. No matter which version you listen to, if that chorus doesn't make you move and smile, I can't help you. The Raindrops - Hanky Panky (1963) The Raindrops were an American pop studio group from New York, associated with the Brill Building style of 1960s pop. The group existed from 1963 to 1965 and consisted of Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry who were also both famous songwriters. The Dells - Higher and Higher (1967) Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - I Heard It Thru The Grapevine (1966) The Captain and Tennille - I Write The Songs (1975) Helen Shapiro - It’s My Party (1963) Richard Kerr - I’ll Never Love This Way Again (1978) Richard Kerr is an English composer, who co-wrote "Mandy", "Looks Like We Made It" and "Somewhere in the Night" (all of which became hit singles for Barry Manilow) and "I'll Never Love This Way Again", for Dionne Warwick. Paul Revere and the Raiders - (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone (1966) Fans consider this the apex of the Revere canon, but I prefer the crazy, desperate intensity of Collage. Still, good, beat-heavy set anchored by "Kicks" and this. Gene Cotton - Let Your Love Flow (1975) Neil Sedaka - Love Will Keep Us Together (1973) The original version is pretty good, with some of the electric and unique magic of the Captain and Tennile version that dominated the charts in 1975. I know POACA will not agree, but if you could disassociate the treacly image of these married session players and their TV show, it was an incredible song. And this version was recorded at Strawberry Studios in collaboration with Graham Gouldman, Lol Creme, Kevin Godley, and Eric Stewart, who had formed the band 10cc since their first joint venture with Sedaka on Solitaire. "...in association with 10C.C." Roger Miller - Me and Bobby McGee (1969) Racey - Kitty (1979) The Ever-Green Blues - Midnight Confessions (1967) The Brothers Four - Mr. Tambourine Man (1965)

He was there BEFORE his Parents won these & learned the Roots & Blessings & Pitfalls of Stardom from childhood. He is a great vocalist, actor, writer, historian plus!! Ronn David knows more than anyone that he has a lot to live up to. He has his Vocal Gift! The son of Ruth Brown, the Queen of Rhythm and Blues and Clyde McPhatter, the founder and lead vocalist of The Drifters. His Dad is in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Billy Ward's Dominoes & The Drifters. Ruth Brown used her influence to press for musicians' rights regarding royalties and contracts; these efforts led to the founding of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. Her performances in the Broadway musical Black and Blue earned Brown a Tony Award, and the original cast recording won a Grammy Award. Brown was a recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. In 2017, Brown was inducted into National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. She is also the aunt to legendary hip hop MC Rakim. He’s toured with artists as varied as Bonnie Raitt and Rick James, performed three times at The White House and often pays tribute to his famous dad in concert by performing Drifters classics like “On Broadway” and “Under The Boardwalk” with his own contemporary twist), movies Ronn clearly enjoying singing side by side, then eye-to-eye with Halle Berry in “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” and appearing in other great music-in-movies films about The Temptations, Little Richard and The Five Heartbeats ), and television (a young Ronn worked with the legendary comic Redd Foxx on his final TV show). Now, Ronn is now poised to take his silky vocal stylings to radio stations, on-line portals and dance clubs across the USA. Ronn David knows what it takes to make it in the music business…and it all begins with a great song. “I Want Your Lovin’”, Ronn’s a single from his upcoming album, is that song. Impossibly catchy, smoothly soulful and with a ready-made dance poised to fill the floor at clubs and parties from coast-to-coast, “I Want Your Lovin’” just may give Ronn David something he richly deserves; the opportunity to shine as brightly as his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame parents stars. “I love and respect what my parents accomplished very much; but like most folks, I want to make my own mark on the world And for me, a big part of that is to make my music and succeed on my own merits”, says Ronn with an easy smile from his Los Angeles home, a stone’s throw away from Hollywood Boulevard and the Capitol Records studio where his folks recorded some of their biggest hits. Ronn David is also a proud Howard University Alumni! Turns out Ronn is far too modest about what he’s already accomplished on his own. David is already a triple-threat veteran of music.

Chapter 2: Under The Boardwalk
The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Leonard, Coleman & Blunt. Leonard, Coleman and Blunt have been around the world and back again several times each as the lead singers of three of the most legendary vocal groups of all time: the Temptations, Platters and Drifters. The three Washington, DC natives have a back-story right out of a Hollywood movie; Leonard, Coleman & Blunt grew up singing together in church and on street corners throughout the 1960s before finding fame and fortune separately, then reuniting after 30 years to harmonize together once again. Glenn Leonard and his sweet tenor voice joined Motown's legendary Temptations, recording ten hit albums, touring the world, and singing lead on many of their 1970s and 1980's R&B hits. Joe Coleman joined the Platters for a two-decade stint as the group's lead singer in addition to gaining a successful career as a songwriter and playwright. Joe Blunt performed and recorded with the Drifters for over a decade in venues all over the world alongside Ben E. King and Johnny Moore, earning a Lifetime Achievement Award from Sony Records. Concert attendees are treated to incredible showmanship, classic dance moves, and some of the biggest hits of all time, including “My Girl," “The Way You Do The Things You Do," “Get Ready,” “The Great Pretender,” “Only You,” “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” “Under The Boardwalk,” “On Broadway,” “Save The Last Dance For Me,” and many, many more.
If we can agree that people like to hang with like-minded people, it is understandable why most cities have areas where tenters congregate. Location, location, location. The post Under The Boardwalk appeared first on 29er Radio.
Today's program was our 8th Annual Summer Music Special. 3 Hours of tunes whisking us back to the Drive In's, Beaches, Amusement Parks and Drag Strips of our youth. Tasting the Hamburgers, French Fries, Hot Dogs, Tacos and Pizza while reading Superman, Spiderman or 16 Magazine. You'll "Remember, Walking In The Sand" or when we rode on our "Little Honda's", "Little GTO's" and Surfed The "Pipeline". Some of us even got caught once or twice in a Summer Rain and ducked "Under The Boardwalk" with our favorite Gal or Guy.
