old man me - frank hutton / hutson


i was inspired to look this up after remembering an old mix. what a great tune.

i love reading youtube comment sections like this... all the family members paying their respects to good old uncle frank from oakland, california and his wonderful limited press record...! (very limited - if you can still find it today, it'll run you about $400)

bright blue music, composed by michael torke
performed by the national orchestral institute philharmonic.... a youth orchestra which is newly formed every june! so in this recording, these young musicians had only just started performing together for a few weeks! how about that!

gene and the team beats - i'll let nothing separate me (1967)

from uploader jack garrett:

"A great soul band from Martinsville, Va, led by sax player Gene Rumley. Their 3rd (and final) single released on Danville-based Raven Records in 1967. A cover of a Wallace Bros. disc that slays the original. The Team Beats finest hour."
