The Cadillacs !




Equally adept at polished ballads or torrid rockers, the Cadillacs were one of New York's top doo-wop groups.
The Harlem quintet signed with Josie in 1954 and debuted with the beautiful "Gloria," but with Earl Carroll's (b. Nov 2, 1937) prominent energetic lead vocals, the Cadillacs became known for humorous jump material and hot choreography after "Speedoo" hit big for them in 1956.
Tapping into the novelty R&B market pioneered by the Coasters, the Cadillacs cut a load of great rockers during the late 50s, such as "Peek-A-Boo" and "Please, Mr. Johnson," and performed in the quickie flick Go, Johnny, Go! in 1959.
Carroll left to join the Coasters in 1958 but the group persevered, eventually signing with Mercury. Carroll has re-formed the Cadillacs in recent years.

J'ai laissé un commentaire sur ta reprise de "I saw the light", mais je ne sais pas si tu l'as vu. Je te suggère d'envoyer tes morceaux à Voodoo Rhythm Records (www.voodoorhythm.com). Le label est tenu par Reverend Beat-Man et il sort complètement le genre de musique que tu fais. C'est sérieux.

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/...
