An odd piece of beatnik poetry from 1957. “Contributions to the Delinquency of Minor Poetry by Guy Wernham” I never heard of this guy, but a Google search brought up his name as a dude on the San Francisco scene who first made his name with a 1943 translation of Lautremont’s “Les Chants du Maldoror” in New Directions magazine. It says by the mid-50’s he was tending bar in North Beach and a frequent visitor to Alan Ginsburg’s apartment. The cover is pretty unusual and cool I think. Can’t be many of these around.

Sylvia “Pillow Talk” (London Records) “Pillow Talk” held the number one R&B spot for two weeks and made it to number three pop on Billboard’s charts in 1973. “You can’t find love on a one-way street…” Check out the sexy lyrics here! And check out her performance on Soul Train!! Here’s to you Mrs. Robinson!
Sylvia Robinson recorded in the early fifties with Hot Lips Page, then as “Little Sylvia” on the Savoy label, but it was with guitarist Mickey Baker as half of “Mickey and Sylvia” that she scored a number one R&B hit with “Love is Strange” in early 1957.
