medjuck Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Wilson also produced the rock group Cyrkle. of "Red Rubber Ball" fame Also "Turn-Down Day"! You mean they actually recorded more than one song. I have a vague memory that they were managed by Brian Epstein and were one of the acts opening for the Beatles during the '66 tour of America.

brownie Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 The Louis Smith session was produced by Tom Wilson for his Transition label. It was sold to BN when Transition folded. To me, Tom Wilson's work on the Transition label remains his greatest achievement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Joe - you are absolutely right about Cyrkle opening for the Beatles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Yes, I saw Cyrkle open for the Beatles in 66 at Candlestick Park, along with Paul Revere and the Raiders, Bobby Hebb,and several other acts. I can't remember hearing them play anything other than Red Rubber Ball. Edited February 6, 2012 by John L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember hearing them play anything other than Red Rubber Ball. The acts were The Remains, Heeb, Cyrkle, and the Ronettes. Pretty solid bill!

AllenLowe Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 to get back to the original thread - clearly Cecil, who got a lot of rejection from the older guys, was trying hard to get them to listen - Jackie McLean told me once that his biggest regret was turning away Cecil, who knocked on his door one night because he wanted to discuss making a recording together - Jackie wasn't well, but he always though it was a mistake: "Bird always told me, listen to everyone."
