The Teeny Bopper Song  performed by Keith  1966

This is the 'B' side to Keith's 1967 hit '98.6'.

It also has a groovy thing going.

Apart from these two songs I've never found anything worthwhile by Keith.

from 98.6




  08 Dec 05 ·konsu: There are some really great cuts by that guy! If you like 98.6 he did a sort of reprise tune called "I Ain't Gonna Lie" that ends up on his first LP. Another song I just love from that record is "Sweet Dreams (do come true)" which I highly recommend. There is a great retrospective of his stuff on CD on the UK label RPM that has both his LP's plus extras... but it can be too much sugar to swallow at once I must say.
  10 Dec 05 ·Swinging London: I always thought 'Aint Gonna Lie' was a real dud, personally. But I'm interested to hear about the compilation CD.
Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide  performed by Jackie Lee  1964

This is an early one by Jackie Lee, mid-sixties soul singer, who had a reasonably sized hit with 'The Duck' in 1965.

'Conscience' has a sort of 'Dirty Dancing'-era sound.





Woman  performed by Peter & Gordon  1966
Composed by Webb

There's a bit of a story to this one.

Peter Asher, who was the Peter part of this duo, was the brother of Jane Asher who was Paul McCartney's girlfriend at the time of this song, asked Paul to write them a song.

They decided it would be interesting to see if it would be a hit without the Paul McCartney/Beatle stamp on it. So they released this song saying that it was written by a Mr. Bernard Webb.

It only reached No. 28 in the British charts.

Jane Asher, many years later, chose it as one of her 'Desert Island Discs', but she never talks about Paul or her Beatle days and failed to tell the story around the song.

Very nice string arrangement/intro.

This was the early days of using classical instruments in pop songs. I think the classical slant is what appeals to me most about this recording.
