“Peanuts – Friends – Music” At the National Peanuts Festival in Dothan, Alabama. Check out “Little Miss Peanut”! (I was thinking it was odd that the cover features 1968’s “Alternate Queen” — maybe the winning Peanut Queen was found to have posed in the raw.) Features the anthem “Here’s to the Peanut,” a rollicking sing-a-long ode to the glorious goober!

“Oye El Cuchy Frito Man” Ray Terrace Featuring Vocalists Manny Roman and Willie Torres. Jubilee Records. Swinging Boogaloo from 1965! Arranged by Ray’s Brother Pete Terrace. Tracks include: ABANIQUITO / CUCHY FRITO MAN / SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE / LOCO Y CONTENTO / HI HI HI / EN EL BARRIO / SONANDO / GUAGUANCO PARA LOS POLLOS / GOZANDO MI SON. Cover Photo by Frank Lerner.

“Bei Mir TWIST Du Schon” The Temples Ad Lib Records.

“Juicy” Willie Bobo. Verve. Another great one from 1967. Includes the title tune and funky Latin soul/jazz covers of sixties hits including “Music to Watch Girls By,” “Knock On Wood,” “Ain’t to Proud to Beg,” “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”. Bobo played bongo, timbales, conga, and trap-drum and after stints with Machito, Mongo Santamaria, Perez Prado, Tito Puente, George Shearing, Cal Tjader and Herbie Mann helped pioneer the Boogaloo sound.

“The Gay Gourmet” Plan your parties with Marie Marrington. What a spread!
