Brook Benton - TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE - 1963 Stereo!

Backed by the Malcolm Dodds Orchestra including the "Malcolm Dodds Singers". Dodds' singers were used often in studio recordings.

Brook Benton - KIDDIO - 1960 Quality Stereo!

There were only subpar audio versions of this song on youtube, so I uploaded the quality original stereo recordiong. Milt Hinton on bass. I only know that because he told me when I visited his house in St. Albans years ago.

Rene Hall - CLEO - 1958 - Fun Instrumental!

I wanted to include a video of a Rene Hall song, as I keep running into his name attached to many songs.

Rene Hall was a great studio guitar player and and arranger. He discovered the Dominoes with Billy Ward, played on a lot of their songs, went on to arrange and play on many Sam Cooke songs, and was part of the "Wrecking Crew" when he went out to California. Rene on guitar, Plas Johnson on sax, and what is probably an oboe, or clarinet.

Liz - RED LIGHT - 1956 - Rockabilly Upbeat!

Hi,

Its a schlock video!:

The only credit on the record is "Liz". I don't have the actual disc, so I don't know the label. It might be a privately made record, but I thought it sounded great & deserved to be here! :) Anyone know more about this?
