Teasing the Korean Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 A year before the Monkees: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbAykpPCNmU Quote
Dave James Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Wow. Where in the world did you find that? I love the setting. Lip-synching while perched on a stool in the middle of a gaggle of serious looking teen types. I think I still have all of Nesmith's records with the First National Band out in the garage. He was pretty good as a solo artist. His pedal steel player, O.J. "Red" Rhodes was top of the line. I always equated him to Ricky Nelson in terms of the direction his music took after he left The Monkees. Didn't his mother have something to do with the invention of white out or correction tape while working at IBM or is that just some sort of urban myth? Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Posted April 14, 2011 I first saw an excerpt from this clip on a Monkees retrospective in the 90s. I found the whole thing on Youtube. It was an early single - or first single, or only single - that he did prior to the Monkees. It was released under the name Michael Blessing, which he chose at random out of the phone book. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Nothing more exciting than seeing "pre-teen" idols. Whatever he became, he became. Quote
GA Russell Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 I saw Buffy Ste. Marie sing that song. That was her song, wasn't it? Quote

paul secor Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I saw Buffy Ste. Marie sing that song. That was her song, wasn't it? Yes. She wrote it and she recorded it first. Edited April 15, 2011 by paul secor Quote
fasstrack Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 I saw Buffy Ste. Marie sing that song. That was her song, wasn't it? Yes. She wrote it and she recorded it first. I thought her version came out after. Maybe '69, '70? Maybe not..... Jack Wilkins recorded that as a solo guitar piece, I saw. Probably a lot of people covered it. Pretty decent song. Quote
paul secor Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Buffy Ste. Marie recorded it on her Many a Mile album (Vanguard), which was released in 1965. Not sure when the album was recorded. Edited April 16, 2011 by paul secor Quote
