xp Red Bird Records

That was the label Leiber & Stoller started. They released both "Chapel of Love" and "Leader of the Pack" in '64.

oops, yes i've heard that song. i was even in a band that played it. for some reason i thought the mandred mann was a cover? is that the original?

tylerw, Monday, 15 June 2009 23:56 (fourteen years ago) link

It's a cover, but the original isn't nearly as well known.

" (Beatles still in their "flippin' lousy" stage), "

bite your tongue! the more i revisit early beatles the more i realize what stellar musicians they were right from the get go. not to mention what a really fantastic infections bouncy energy they had in their early days. shame i'm too late to add a 10th vote for "she loves you"

do wah diddy diddy is a pretty incredible and great song, but so are another 10 or so of these songs

I know a guy who played on “Chapel of Love.” /streetteam

Also never tire of the story of how it saved, and then led to the destruction of, Leiber and Stoller’s record labels.

A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 03:23 (two years ago) link

Which also messed up some projects of the guy I know, but he bounced back, just like them.

A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 03:24 (two years ago) link

Because of George Goldner's gambling + the Mafia?

Josefa, Tuesday, 4 May 2021 04:03 (two years ago) link

Yeah. I see you’ve read about that.

A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 04:07 (two years ago) link

You and I- and dow, to some extent- have been posting in parallel about that without ever actually colliding.

A Stop at Quilloughby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 4 May 2021 04:11 (two years ago) link

So I see! Reading my old posts can be very informative to me, since I'll often forget what I read just 2-3 years back.

Josefa, Tuesday, 4 May 2021 04:29 (two years ago) link

You and me both, brother! Like I was saying in another context, these days I am older than Mr. Atoz.
