I’m just glad you knew it was a song! ;)
Re: Jim Dandy
As a former radio broadcaster, I thought I might share a little known segue that I discovered accidentally one night when spinning the vinyl, used to do an oldies show at my station, and we had two turntables, on this occasion on turntable 1 there was the Isley Brothers 45 single ‘Shout’ and on turntable 2 there was Laverne Baker’s ‘Jim Dandy’.
As you might recall, the Isley Brothers Side 1 ends with “now waiiiiiit a minute!” and at that point I hit the play on Laverne Baker only to discover that her intro to Jim Dandy was a *perfect* blend as if it had been part of the Isley Brothers’ band, and if that were not enough, on a hunch, I flipped the Isley Brothers 45 to ‘Side 2’, cued it up, and at the end of Laverne Baker’s tune, started up turntable 1 again, and *BAM* it ended up sounding just like one long uninterrupted jam with the Isley Brothers & Laverne Baker.
If you have a couple of old turntables somewhere, or if you’re handy with digital mixing, you can replicate this for yourself or for your friends, it really does sound amazing. ;)
Oh btw Onyx?
Surprise! I’m back! :)
