Vince Taylor et ses Play-boys. A French Odeon Ep. “Brand New Cadillac,” Pledging My Love, “I Like Love” “Right Behind You Baby” This guy was pretty cool and “Brand New Cadillac” is a certified classic. This is circa 1960. Check him out “Shakin’ All Over” on Youtube.

Strange side note: When he was seven years old, Taylor emigrated to America and settled in New Jersey where his father took work in a coal mine. Around 1955, his sister married Joe Barbera of Hanna-Barbera productions, the great animation and cartoon production company. As a result of the marriage, the family moved to California where Vincent attended Hollywood High. Joe became his manager and took him back to England where his career took off.

Mom’s the word

April 13th, 2008 in Black Comedy, Playboy by lpcoverlover | 2 Comments

Jackie “Moms” Mabley at The Playboy Club. Chess Records. (1961) Moms debuted in the twenties with Butterbeans and Susie at the Cotton Club, suffered racism on the chitlin circuit, was a regular at the Apollo for years and her album sales in the sixties made her the highest charting comedienne in Billboard history. I seem to remember her on TV doing the Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas talk show circuit. I think she took her teeth out and talked funny. A legend.
