Chef Hank Meadows Tells His Secrets…

I don’t get this one.  Why is she sitting on a stack of cheese wheels taking a bite of a record?  Why? Why?

“When Pea-pickers Get Together”  Tennessee Ernie Ford “Sings the Green Giant’s (and Everybody’s) Favorite Folk Songs”

Lou Monte “Songs for Pizza Lovers”

“Juanita Banana” by The Peels.  On the Karate label!

The Salsa All Stars on Salsa Records.

Ron Feuer with an all-star jazz line up of FranK Rosolino, Bill Perkins, Paul Moer, Jimmy Bond and Billy Wiggins. On Del-fi Records.

Goofy Grape and the Whole Funny Face Gang “Sings Awful” On Mark 56 Records. A Pillsbury (Funny Face) Production. Backed by a killer studio session group including Rootin’ Tootin’ Raspberry, Loudmouth Lime, Jolly Olly Orange, Freckle Face Strawberry, Choo-choo Cherry and Lefty Lemon.

(Editor’s Note: The voice of Goofy Grape and his whole gang is the work of one man - Paul Frees, who unbelievably was also the Pillsbury Doughboy, George Harrison AND John Lennon in the animated Saturday morning Beatles cartoon series, Boris Badenov, Mr. Bedrock, Toucan Sam, Morocco Mole, Secret Squirrel, Squiddley Diddley and too many other classic TV cartoon characters to mention. Thanks Carl for making the point!)

“Cuzzin Eth Eatin’ Peas & Honey”  It looks like the honey also helps keep the peas on the knife.  I guess if you can’t afford a spoon or a fork this is pretty resourceful.

The singing chef.  What a  turkey.  Thanks to Brother Jerome for this.

Look who’s trippin’!  Mrs. Miller “Does Her Thing.”  Check out the song titles.

Chuck Berry. “One Dozen Berrys”  Chess LP 1432.  This is Chuck Berry’s second album.  Released in 1958.  Contains Reelin’ and Rockin’, Rock and Roll Music and Sweet Little Sixteen.  The band included Willie Dixon on Bass, Hurbert Sumlin on Guitar and the great Johnnie Johnson on Piano.  Truly an important piece of Americana and a cultural milestone.  Courtesy of Uncle Gil.

Thanks to Margaret Still for sending us Vicki Jamison “He’s More Than Enough”

I think this refers to Jesus. Maybe you don’t need bread if you have religion. Does that make sense? She looks like Nancy Reagan. Just Say No to bread!
