More Music, More News, More Celebrities, A New And Improved Uncle DAZZ

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .











Don't worry. At the end of this article, we have two fabulous hits by the Shirelles -- One was written by the iconic Carole King, a wonderful performer in her own right.


Something NEW!

My purpose in writing this blog is to provide readers with my focus, opinion and commentary on certain events, paradigm shifts, important trends, and possible future scenarios -- as well as ways to provide for them, either by positively exploiting them or by exercising the most effective damage control. My writing is for my readers, but it is inadequate in terms of comprehensive coverage on the general categories of subject matter being discussed. I will now offer you much more than ever before. And yes, cousin Frankie, it’s still free.

Henceforth [snobby word, eh?] I'll be posting more article links to this site, as well as whole weekly newspapers or curated collections of articles to this site covering interesting news items gathered from all media to provide every reader with a broader, better view than just my own. While my original articles will continue to be posted, these weekly reviews will lend some needed external perspective to the things that I'm speaking about, and will cover areas where I haven't focused my own attention as an author and an executive. I also feel that views which are not necessarily my own must be given fair representation. My readers are intelligent enough to decide which views are the most sensible, and who they can best believe.

As always, thank you for reading me, and for sharing my articles and other materials with your networks of contacts, colleagues and friends across the ever-increasing variety of social networks through your bookmarking, toolbars and other sharing tools.

A first sampling of this new information follows right beneath my signature and the list of search terms for this article. Please read it, and I hope that you truly enjoy it.

Baby It's You! - Smith (Cool 60's headgear).

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .



Mama Lion and Smith shook us up and knocked us down. (The reverse would be unthinkable).

When DAZZ was a mere innocent in the 1960's, he (I'm speaking in the third person for some reason -- perhaps too much Geritol) heard this song on the radio (performed by the unknown group Smith and sung with smoky, seductive subtlety by "Mama Lion") and he thought that it was mysterious, sneaky, haunting and every so slightly funkacious. The Beatles earlier version of the song never caught much traction. The Shirelles' original version of the song was was a bit better than the Beatles' version, but just fading into the archives while a good many of their other works are 1960's classics [my favorite being "Foolish Little Girl"].

Then, when I saw Smith perform on television, with Mama Lion looking very seductively 60's and with a psychedelic Peggy Lipton from Mod Squad kind of sexy 'lectricity, I was smitten. There was an intense psychedelic power rock sound to the group -- but the magic was that it was suppressed and bottled up, building up tension in every devout listener (I was one of those) until the refrain, when the band let it jump out of the cage.

Listen for the abrupt stops (tacets) after each full, explosive refrain. Amaxing dynamics, and iconic for the psychedelic sixties. They were, like far out, Man.

Pump up the volume, click on the link or video player below, sit back, and feel the jolt. As for Mama and Smith, I'm a loyalist, trying to wake up my sector of cyberspace to some fabulous music. Truly: Rock and roll never forgets. - RadioDAZZ
