Big SMS Thanx to our old high school friend and loyal Trivia Quizer Mr. Bill Goshay for this weeks Trivia Question! …Thanx Billy!
Rick, “The Touchables” went to #1 on WLS Chicago! Loved it! I think his short time period use of each song (under 8 seconds) allowed him to use without copyright infringement.
You music whizzes are too good for me. I come here for the memories. Johnny Rivers this week…. You never disappoint!
Hi Rick,
When I think of “Summer Wind” I think Sinatra.
Not sure if Johnny Rivers ever got the accolades he deserved.
Peace.
Fred
Hey Fred!
Yeah I agree I don’t think he got the props he deserved. He was also a savvy businessman! Did you know he had his own record label, (Soul City records) which was not only his home, but home to acts like the Fifth Dimension Additionally he is the only artist I can think off who’s debut album was a “Live album!
Yeah a uniquely talented guy!
Cheers,

“Summer Wind” is that hauntingly beautiful Leonard Cohen tune. I don’t think I ever heard a version by Johnny Rivers. Madelene Peyroux does a nice job with it.
Hey Jim!
My bad! I was referring to Johnny River’s “Summer Rain” Think I need to check out “Summer Wind by Madeleine Peyroux!
Thanx Jim, all apologies for the confusion!
Rick
It is no from the 60s, but here is a link I like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7549fmyM0E
Hey Jimmy!
Thanx, I’ve really become a huge fan! Thanx to you!
Rick
Geez, Rick, don’t make it easy or anything. Haha
1. Summer rain, Glass Onion, Leader of the laundromat, I Want my Baby Back, all Dickie Goodman records (that’s cheating). Cant think of more.
2. J Rivers, Beatles, Detergents, Jimmy Cross…..many
3. Sgt Pepper’s LHCB, I am the Walrus, Leader of the Pack (twice)
4. Beatles, Beatles, Shangri-Las, …many
5. too much man, let it all hang out. 😉
Hats off to you, Mr. Besch. I’m still trying to figure out the question :0).
Hey Fred,
Now that ClarK is on record, I can summarize the question! I’m sure you recall and probably loved Johnny River’s classic song… “Summer Wind” in the song Johnny sing’s “Everybody kept on singing Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band”
There it is A Classic 60’s song making reference to another classic 60’s song! I hope that clarifies things a bit for you? Now, just give us 5 more examples like that one!
Rick / SMS
It does. Thanks, Rick.
Hey Fred,
You’re welcome! However, big apologies! In my note where I tried to explain the question I referred to Johnny Rivers’s great song “Summer Wind”…except the title to the Johnny River’s song I was referring to is…”Summer Rain”
Sorry, but clearly you got my point!
Thanx for your patience and support!
Cheers!

Hey Clark!
Dickie Goodman! Man I loved every thing that guy did! One of the first singles I bought was his record “The Toughables! His take on the popular T.V. Series “The Untouchables! In fact, in the mid 70’s I tried to release a Dickie Goodman type of record about current events but I gave up the licensing of all the songs was simply a nightmare! I don’t know how Dickie did it? My guess is he didn’t license anything and just laughed at the “Cease and desist orders!
Thank Clark,
Rick
