ROCKUMENTARY: OCTOBER 18, 1972

#4 – The Main Ingredient: “Everybody Plays the Fool”

Cuba Gooding’s dad was in this band.

The Main Ingredient: “Everybody Plays the Fool”

[Drumbo]

This is a song written by Chris Gantry and recorded by Glen Campbell and released in July 1968 as the first single from his album "Wichita Lineman". The song peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and also reached number 1 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.

Gary Puckett & The Union Gap released a cover version of the song on their 1968 album, "Young Girl". This live version is culled from Glen's 1969 world tour.

This is the original operatic version, sung by Kurt Weill's wife, Lotte Lenya. It has that rather perverse Weimar sound, nothing like the Big Band arrangement Darin gave it. Because the song is strophic, Darin had to change key at each verse to keep it fresh.

Lotte Lenya: "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer"

[Drumbo]

This Beach Boys classic was another example of Glen Campbell in 1965. He's been quoted saying he played at least 540 recording sessions that year despite an almost 6 month road tour with the Beach Boys. On his days off, he flew back to LA to work with The Wrecking Crew.

That's very pre-war Berlin Cabaret style.

In 1953, while living in Knoxville, Tennessee, Don and Phil Everly broke away from their Everly Family band, forming their duo and caught the attention of family friend Chet Atkins, who had recently been appointed manager of RCA Victor's recording studio in Nashville. As the brothers transitioned out of the family act and into a duo, they moved to Nashville and Atkins became an early champion of the Everly Brothers. Despite his affiliation with RCA Records, it was Atkins who arranged a chance for the Everly Brothers to record for Columbia Records in early 1956. However, their first and only single for Columbia, "Keep A' Lovin' Me," which Don wrote, was a flop, and they were quickly dropped from the label.

Atkins encouraged the Everly Brothers to continue, and introduced them to Wesley Rose of Acuff-Rose music publishers. Impressed with the duo's songwriting talents, Rose told them that if they signed to Acuff-Rose as songwriters, he would also get them a recording deal. The duo signed to Acuff-Rose in late 1956, and by early 1957, Rose had introduced them to Archie Bleyer, who was looking for artists for his Cadence label. The Everlys signed, and entered the recording studio for their first Cadence session in February 1957.

Their first Cadence single, "Bye Bye Love," had been rejected by 30 other acts but the Everlys saw it's potential and their recording of "Bye Bye Love" reached #2 on the pop charts behind Elvis Presley's "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear". "Bye Bye Love" hit #1 on the Country chart and #5 on the R&B charts. The song, written by the husband and wife team Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, became the Everly Brothers' first million-seller.

They became stalwarts of the Cadence label. Working with the Bryants, the duo had hits in the United States and the United Kingdom, the biggest being "Wake Up Little Susie", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", "Bird Dog", and "Problems", all penned by the Bryants.

While contractually restricted from actually working with the Everlys, Atkins continued to mentor them and upon hearing the acoustic demo of "Bird Dog" suggested they add bass, drums and a subtle electric guitar to "Rockabilly it up a bit". Whether Atkins actually suggested Glen Campbell for the session is unknown, but several sources contend that Chet was well aware of the young virtuoso and did all he could to further his career.

Having known Mr. Atkins myself, I can say that he always cared more about good music than any business arrangements and the story is in line with dozens of similar stories. Chet was an advocate for young artists and probably discovered more talent than any other force in Nashville. When I knew him during the mid-eighties he was doing much the same for his unknown young protégé Steve Wariner. Steve credited Chet for introducing him to Glen and they worked together on several projects so I find this story another likely scenario in Glen's expansive portfolio.

#34 – Seals & Croft: “Summer Breeze”

I was always struck that this happy song was written in a minor key, not going to the major until the chorus.

Seals & Croft: “Summer Breeze”

[Drumbo]

In 1967, Terry Melcher produced this Wrecking Crew fueled scorcher that took Mark Lindsay and Paul Revere's Raiders to #4 on the national charts.

#3 – Elvis Presley: “Burning Love”

Chips Moman brought Elvis back to the top, and he never sounded better. Arthur Alexander first recorded this Hot Country tune, and Elvis didn’t really like it – until the money started to roll in.

[ConorMacNessa]

"I was always struck that this happy song was written in a minor key, not going to the major until the chorus."

I didn't know enough about music in 1972 to realize that - it is certainly counter-intuitive. Yet I think the key change makes absolute sense given the text.


"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[TMSuchman]

PPPFFFTTT air gun firing

[Publius]

Ah, written like a Schubert afficianado.

[Drumbo]

First recorded in 1924 by Papa Charlie Jackson, this traditional folk tune was certainly in Glen Campbell's Banjo wheelhouse when Rick Nelson laid it down in 1962. Leon Russell is featured on the ivories.

Mac - where we come from, Glen Campbell is a place, not someone’s name. :)

[Drumbo]

This one would have been lost had Glen neglected to mention he played on this session when Jan & Dean covered it in 1962. He also played it again in 1976 on the Beach Boys album "15 Big Ones".

"Palisades Park" broke when a Flint, Michigan radio DJ played this "B-Side" by mistake. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1962, the biggest hit of Freddie Cannon's career.

This Jimmy Webb torch song was first recorded by Richard Harris in 1968. Glen performed it on his 1969 world tour and made it his own.

Didn't We (Live)

[Drumbo]

Here's Glen being sophisticatedly understated with the "King of Cool" in late 1956. It reached #1 on the Billboard chart for six weeks and became Dino's biggest hit. It was also his only UK number one hit. He was backed by The Easy Riders who consisted of Terry Gilkyson, Richard Dehr and Frank Miller the song's writers.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

#27 – Helen Reddy: “I Am Woman”

Feminism was everywhere, and every movement needs an anthem.

Helen Reddy: “I Am Woman”

[ConorMacNessa]

And proud of it! I enjoyed working on his songs - what a magnificent array of Art Songs he gave us! I can only wonder what he could have produced if he had not died so young.
