SPECTORESQUE.

No, do not adjust your eyesets, it’s not the Ronnettes or the Crystals, it’s the Royalettes. The Rosspunk mentioned to me recently that we haven’t dropped a lot of Phil Spector! Well being big Spector fans, I felt I needed to (sort of?) balance the books a bit. So instead of another ‘Best of’ I went down a similar route to a couple of previous playlists we’ve done, of ‘covers, associations, friends & influences’ etc… taking in a couple a singer/songwriters from the famous Brill Building in New York, as well as a couple of other bits & pieces that seem to fit the mood……. (& of course leavin the door firmly open in the future for the Rosspunk to drop any original Spector he fancies!)   1 The Beach Boys- There’s No Other (Like My Baby) 2 Carole King-Pleasant Valley Sunday 3 Jeff Barry-Hip Couple 4 Sam Hawkins-Bad as they come 5 Little Eva-Up on the Roof 6 Leslie Gore-What am I gonna do with you 7 Neil Diamond-The Boat that I row 8 Dorothy Berry-You’re so fine 9 The Royalettes-It’s a big Mistake 10 Ral Donner-It will only make me love you more 11 The Supremes-Run, Run, Run 12 Jeff Barry-I’ll still love you 13 The Cookies-Passing Time 14 Jay & the Americans-Do I love you? 15 The Shangri-Las-He Cried 16 David Gates-Jo Baby 17 Long John Baldry-River deep, mountain high 18 The Angels-Boy from crosstown 19 The Walker Brothers-Walking in the rain 20 Jackie DeShannon-When you walk in the room 21 The Cookies-On Broadway 22 Gene Pitney-Tremblin 23 Jay & the Americans-Come a little closer 24 Lesley Gore-You don’t own me 25 Jeff Barry-Our Love Can Stil Be Saved 26 Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart-I want to be free 27 Jack Nitzche-Theme from ‘Women of the World’
