Voodoo Voodoo !







Delores Williams was born on November 11, 1929, in Chicago. Williams began her career with Fletcher Henderson's big band in 1947. She adopted the stage name Lavern Bakershortly afterwards. In 1953, Baked signed with Atlantic rcords. In 1955, LaVern had her first hit with "Tweedle Dee." Other hits, including "Jim Dandy" and "See See Rider," followed. Simply put, LaVern Baker, one of the greatest vocalists in history, could sing anything because she had a stunning voice that with little effort could crack walls, and yet her ballad singing was wonderfully sensitive.

To Brother Freeze : If you're in a small village (south of France for example) and you hear that song, don't forget to scream & run, it may save your life !

Hey great songs here lately!
Funny, I'm here just a'cussin' and drinkin' to "Saved". Hell, if I listen to it one more time today it's just possible I'll be doin' the hoochie-coo!
Thanks for the Jeepers Creepers. Actually, that's one of my favorite songs. I have been looking for the 1939 Looney Tunes Porky Pig piece by the same name with Pinto Colvig playing the ghost. It's a wonderful cartoon IMO, but the song is what really does it for me, cartoon ghost in high-top sneakers, all that. Anybody got a copy they can dub the audio from? "Calling Car 6 and 7/8's, Car 6 and 7/8's...." : "Bud-dee bu-dee... that's me!"

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/...
