Here we are; going from the sublime (yesterday's entry) to the ridiculous. Something about this ridiculous little record is very sweet and charming to me, and it's full of the weirdness that made Abner Spector's most famous production (The Jaynetts- "Sally Go 'Round The Roses") so mysterious and freaky.
The Corsairs had a HUGE national hit in 1962 with "Smoky Places", but could never match it on followups. This was their second to last release, and it couldn't quite capture the market which was all about doing The Monkey (dance) for a few years. '63-'64 produced some of my favorite dance records; most revolving around The Monkey and The Uncle Willie.
from 1963...
