Mojo Men

The song "Sit Down I Think I Love You" was a top 40 hit for the Mojo Men in 1967.  The song was a cover version of a song on the first Buffalo Springfield album.  Interestingly, Sly Stone was at one time in the band, and it was called Sly and the Mojo Men.  Although the Mojo Men only had the one hit, they released several good albums and have had several of their songs recorded by other artists, including Kanye West as recently as 2010.

Vanilla Fudge... yum!

Actually, I'm referring to the psychedelic band of the 60's.  Their cover version of the Supremes #1 smash hit "You Keep Me Hanging On" burst onto the radio in 1967 and roared to #6 on the Hot 100.  As a dyed in the wool rock and roller, I love the Vanilla Fudge version.... to me the songs' delivery matches the lyrics better.  Vanilla Fudge performed the song on Ed Sullivan on January 14, 1968 - exactly 47 years ago today!

Ever use one of these?

I bought a new snow shovel Saturday, an expensive one. It's called the "Snow Plow", and I gotta tell you, this thing does the job!  It helps you get rid of anything that's packed down on your driveway or sidewalk and clears the snow like no other shovel I've ever had!  Try one, another great tool for your snow arsenal!

Happy Birthday Elvis...

Today would be Elvis Presley's 80th birthday. In honor, our forgotten oldie is an Elvis song. "Return to Sender" was a smash hit in 1962, going to #1 in England, Ireland and Canada, and #2 on the Hot 100 in America. It was #1 according to Cashbox however.  For some reason, it's one Elvis song I never hear anymore, and yet it's always been my favorite Elvis tune. On his brthday, Return to Sender by Elvis.

Pretty Flamingo

Today's forgotten oldie comes from Manfred Mann, the song "Pretty Flamingo".  The song was an international hit in 1966, even going to #1 in England.  Interestingly, Jack Bruce of Cream was with Manfred Mann when this song was recorded, providing a great trivia tidbit.
