To Big L:
the song you heard on the tv :"can`t get enough of you baby" is a
remake by "Smashmouth"...it`s their follow-up to their first hit "
Walking on the sun" which is VERY reminescint of "96 tears"

It was a promo for the new Drew Barrymore movie. But that song...
THAT'S a trivia question even for someone who grew up on punk
bands and mid 60s Cleveland radio!
It is, of course, "Can't Get Enough Of You, Baby" by ? and the
Mysterians, which was the followup to "I Need Somebody." It
received very little airplay anywhere.
The idea of using such an obscure song in a movie in 1998
makes no sense to me at all. Why would they do such a thing?
BTW, it wasn't the original version, either."
Several other people have probably already answered this, but
here goes. I know that Smashmouth (the group who recently
had a hit with a song called "Walkin' On The Sun") recorded a
cover of "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" recently, so I assume
that this is the version that you heard.

Re: Touch the Wall of Sound
Is this a new compilation? Anyone have more info on this?
Re: Can't Get Enough of You, Baby
I always loved this song, ever since I saw ? perform it live
last year. (? And the Mysterians are really great live, by the way.)
There are also versions by the Toys and the Four Seasons.

Hi Jim Cassidy: No, the Cadillacs weren't on the bill of the show
I attended on February 4, 1972. (Richard nader's Volume VIII was
the one I attended. Unless there was a last-minute change? I don't
remember. (I was a 16-year-old squirt.) On the bill were the
Crystals, Fats Domino, Bo Diddley, Chubby Checker, the Five Satins,
the Capris, the Belmonts, and Jerry Butler. Can you imagine?
What a night.
Re Little Eva: Saw her once on TV in the 80s doing a show; she
looked angry, and hardly smiled at all! I think it was her first
appearance since the 60s, actually, if I'm not mistaken.
Hi Barbara: Yes, I will be happy to xerox / fax you my stuff. You
know, I have dozens of ads that I clipped from newspapers back in
the 70s, and kept in scrapbooks. I'll forward you my Crystals
stuff. You might even recall performing at some of those clubs...
The picture with the telephone I was talking about was taken that
night by someone, and printed in a record collector's magazine.
Mary has an afro, and Dee Dee has a sort of flip; you have a kind
of shag, and La La is a mass of curls. I also saved a review of
the show from Rolling Stone magazine, I think it was. I'll send it
too. If faxes are not clear, then I'll send them by mail, just let
me know where. And you're not old! It's all relative... and is it
true that La La was only 14 when she joined the group in 1962? And
is that Pat singing lead on "Oh Yeah, Maybe Baby?" Do you recall
who did lead on "Frankenstein Twist?" Is that La La? I love that
song... I think I've said on here that we used to do that dance at
parties.
To everyone: since being in touch with Barbara Alston, I've been
giving the early-Crystals songs lots of new listens lately. That's
some really great music! Barbara's voice was perfect for those
numbers!

Hi, I have heard a version of Todd Rundgren "It wouldn't have
made any Difference" on my oldies station, and have been
wondering who is playing it, it is done at a faster speed, but
it is obviously not Todd. The sound is early to mid 70's. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Marie>>
Hi Marie,
Your e-mail address leads me to believe you're from Canada, so I'm
going to guess that the version you heard was by Tom Middleton, a
Canadian who had a top 20 Canadian hit with the song in the fall
of 1973, on Columbia Records. A pretty good version, I must say!

Marie, I believe you are in Montreal, right ? OK so you must have
heard Tom Middleton's version of "Difference". The song is a good
example of some of the lesser known songs that stations play to
keep up with the Canadian content regulations. This version came
out in 1973 and it made the top 40 here in Canada. Personally I
like Todd's version better. Now has anyone on the list heard The
Stytch In Time's version of "Got To Get You Into My Life" or The
Big Town Boy's take on "It Was I"

Is that you? Just found a copy of the LP and noticed that one of
the members of the group is named Barbara Alston. So I thought I'd
check and see if that's really you. I haven't had a chance to
listen and I don't remember the LP from my history, so maybe
Friday I'll get the chance to audition the record. I used to buy
groups during the 70s that didn't have major hits but looked cool
and seemed classy. I don't know how this one slipped by me.

Does anybody have info on this late 60s group? I've been
lisetneing to their single "Nothing But A Heartache," over and
over again. Someone told me they might have a comp on Marginal
records, but that sounds too good to be true. Help! Anybody?
