Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Ahhh - another Golden Oldie!
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WIvZu4dPQQ - Joey Dee and The Starliters, 1962 - Peppermint Twist
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K1LnDBc44M - Joey Dee, after 2003 - Peppermint Twist
From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint_Twist:
| "Peppermint Twist" is a song written by
Joey Dee and
Henry Glover, recorded and released by
Joey Dee and the Starliters in 1961. Capitalizing on the
Twist dance craze and the nightclub in which Dee performed ("The
Peppermint Lounge"), the song hit number one on the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100 in early 1962. The original recording of the song
was considered too long for release on a 45 rpm single, so it was split
into two parts. It was this first part, "Peppermint Twist (Part 1)",
with a length of 2:03, which became the No. 1 hit; the mostly
instrumental second half of the recording is rarely heard today. "Peppermint Twist" replaced Chubby Checker's "The Twist," the song that sparked the Twist craze, at the number one position. A version by Bill Haley & His Comets was recorded for Armed Forces Radio in 1962, but was not released until 2000. The lead singer in the Starliters' version is David Brigati, whose brother, Eddie Brigati, was a singer for the 1960s hit pop group, the (Young) Rascals... |
