Yeah, "Kiss of Fire"...Nicely done, thanks! Yeah, "Kiss of Fire" was one mystery record that particularly intrigued me, but the only info I could find was regarding the orignal version. Was beginning to think no one else knew about this one. I only Bought the record for its title as it sounded rather exotic and sexy, and hence really lucked out then cuz its a much cooler side than the orig (which is fine in itself). Just as I bought "Wail" for its title, hoping it would, well, wail. And it does indeed function as advertised. "Rocka Conga," another one purchased on the strength (?) of its silly song title.Mr Fabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116623844291424658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-29505499437557489042016-05-14T20:47:10.472-07:002016-05-14T20:47:10.472-07:005/14/16

Clemens Michigan. He still preaches from the Bible, ogles lovingly at his wife Rexella, and condemns Muslim Americans like a man possessed. He says he's just doing God's work, but that is questionable beyond his bigotry, and he got kicked off a couple of local Detroit networks as a result of his heated opinions. The "Kiss Of Fire" record you mentioned above is a re-make Georgia Gibbs recorded for Al Massey and Larry Utall at Bell records in 1965. It is often referred by record collectors as "Kiss Of Fire '65", and was re-recorded to capture some of the rock market at the time, though Georgia Gibbs was nearly 40 years old at the time. The following couple of months had Bell records issue a full-length album titled "Call Me" (Bell Records #6000) to capture the local success of the single (it was popular in New York, but didn't chart in Billboard's Hot 100.) The Royaltones were from Dearborn, Michigan, and were led by saxophonist/clarinet George Katsaskis, who used the stage name George Kaye. "Wail" was the B-side of their most popular disc, "Poor Boy" (their only Top 40 record.) Originally recording for Harry Balk at the Detroit-based Twirl Records (who also recorded Del Shannon and Johnny And The Hurricanes).the "Poor Boy/Wail" disc was leased to Jerry Blaine at Jubilee Records in 1958 and charted at #17 on Billboard's Hot 100. Legendary Detroit musicians Dennis Coffey and Bob Babbitt later recorded with the band in 1963-67. The Royaltones also backed up Del Shannon on some of his Amy/Berlee/Big Top recordings during the 1960's (most notably on "Do You Want To Dance" and "Keep Searching".)The Applejacks were a studio group organized by Cameo/Parkway head Dave Appell,and are not to be confused with the 1960's British band that recorded for Decca Records. ("Mexican Hat Rock" and the above mentioned "Rocka-Conga" were their two Top 100 hits on Billboard.) I had no idea that Bruce Johnston once recorded a tribute record to Soupy Sales (I believe it was originally recorded for Bob Keane at Del-Fi Records during his "Surfer's Pajama Party" period from 1961-63. I haven't located a copy of this disc, but would like to, and I am surprised this didn't hit in Detroit, where Soupy had (and still has even 6 years after his death) a large following. Soupy was doing his TV show live on the air in New York at the time for Channel 5-WNEW.),but he was still popular in Detroit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
