The Devil’s Hand

The Theme from “The Devil’s Hand” Original Soundtrack on Chess Records.   (1962)

A beside-the-point Batman connection:   Neil Hamilton (the ironic police commissioner in the BATMAN TV show) is highly amusing here as Mr. Lamont, a bloodthirsty devil figure extraordinaire. He runs a creepy doll shop during the day, but holds satanic blood rituals in the back room at night!

“Wonderful World, Beautiful People”   Jimmy Cliff   A&M Records   1969.   One of my favorites!   Supposedly Bob Dylan said that “Vietnam” was the best protest song he ever heard.
