“Ya! Ya!” The GREAT Lee Dorsey! on Fury Records (1961) “Oh well I’m uh sitting here la la waiting for my ya, ya, uh huh” Lee Dorsey opened for the Clash on their 1980 U.S. tour. He passed away in 1986. There are so many great soul and funk songs by Lee Dorsey. He worked with Allen Toussaint on this, his first hit, and often including on his album “Yes, I Can” in 1970. Always positive and funky. His song “Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky” from 1969 is a DJ favorite.

“Lonely Faces” By Sammy Tippit (A young 22 year-old Babtist youth evangilist and the President and Founder of “God’s Love in Action” an Evangelistic Association for reaching gangs, militants, runaways, hippies and drug users for Christ.) and the Monroe 7, (vs. the Chicago 7?), (seven young people from Monroe, Louisiana that pushed a wheelbarrow of bibles all the way to Washington, DC, literally spreading the word of god across America.) Rainbow Records. Pretty tricky packaging. This record is like a sheep in wolves clothing.

Norman Granz’ JAZZ CONCERT #1. Norgran Records. David Stone Martin illustration. Jazz represents both the highest level of artistry and sophistication as well as humor, whimsy and wit. DSM captured that playful, inside joke of the music with his fun and and equally sophisticated style.
