King Curtis - King Curtis - Trip (Soul twist - Enjoy + a few bonus cuts) No image on web of the Trip LP, but this is the original MG

I don't know his worth, but bass player Harry Goodman (Benny's bruvver) must have (or have had) a bob or two. He and another brother, Gene, started Regent Music in the early 40s; in the late 40s got a 50% interest in Arc Music (L Chess was the partner), then Sylvia Music, Conrad Music (VJ's publisher). The value of those copyrights is still immense. MG

Do you know why, Allen? Very good question. MG

Just confirmed he did work with Julie London Big billing, too, on the front. I can remember him getting a credit on Cooke's 'Frankie and Johnny'/'Cool train', the latter of which is one of his best. Unpostable images here: http://www.45cat.com/record/478215 MG Yes, but... A lot of Duke's publishing/composing royalties were ripped off by Irving Mills, his manager. A lot of the royalties he did get were put into subsidising his continuing to run a big band when it wasn't economical. I don't think he was poor by any means, though. MG

Coming from the US and not yet sent. Fingers crossed. MG

Perry Como Perri Lee Fred Perry

He was doing arrangements and bandleading for Julie London (I think), (definitely) Sam Cooke and Ray Charles and others. I think he did a hell of a lot of music that isn't regarded as jazz. MG

I'd be interested in that. Not out 'til mid-Jan 2014 Amazon UK say. MG

Gonna count Kenny G? MG

Was there a version knocking around at that time? I didn't know that. MG

That song is indelibly imprinted on my mind from the 70s. The power of advertising! Probably explains why I drink PG Tips too! It's indelibly printed in my mind from the forties. It's an early thirties song, though the exact date's unknown. MG

A nice cuppa. "I like a nice cup of tea in the morning For to start the day you see And at half past eleven Well my idea of heaven Is a nice cup of tea I like a nice cup of tea with me dinner And a nice cup of tea with me tea And when it's time for bed There's a lot to be said For a nice cup of tea."
