You gotta hear these! Christopher Hart sings “Gipsy Man” with the St. Julian’s School Choir under the “leadership” of Maestro Cesar Batalha. RT Records (1981) Art: Maria Lucia / Photography: Lourenco (Portugal) Thanks to lp cover lover, Paolo Martins for writing “Christopher Hart rocks all you teens out of your closet with his fabulous double 45.”
Gipsy Man: Every kid dreams of freedom outdoors.
“I’m am the gayest Gipsy man that rides inside a caravan”
The “B” side: “Super Boy”
Super Boy: A song about British superpowers.
“I’m always so supreme when I have my daydream”
Paolo adds: Maestro César Batalha composed a lot of children music. He’s responsible for the theme of the band Onda Choc in the 90’s and several others. Onda Choc was a pre-teen cover band. Gipsy Man was also sung in Portuguese and its melody spread everywhere where emigrants with children went. A French friend of mine recalls the song in Portuguese as Little Gipsy Woman, not Man. I’m not sure where Christopher Hart came in, but he’s British and probably sang in St Julians School Choir. Maybe there was some effort to internationalize Maestro Cesar’s themes by bringing in some foreign singers.

Johnny “Hammond” Smith “The Stinger” Prestige Records (1965) Design/Pop Art: Don Schlitten. sDusty Groove says: A great little groover from Johnny Hammond Smith — and one of his rarest albums! The record may be rare because it’s got a strange cover that features a comic character that looks like the Green Lantern, and Prestige might have gotten nervous about copyright infringement. Johnny’s in great form on the Hammond, and his combo really cooks nicely — with Floyd Smith on guitar, Earl Edwards on tenor, and Houston Person sitting in for the version of the title cut. The set features a great version of Smith’s groover “Cleopatra & The African Knight”, plus “Benny’s Diggin”, “There Is No Greater Love”, “You Don’t Know What Love Is”, “The Stinger”, and “Brother John”.
