Pleading total ignorance here, I had never heard of Junior Brown until the other day.....but it's safe to say I'm a fan now.

Seems hidden cameras caught the whole thing on tape.....;>) That's a lot of legs he is running from, I wonder how tall that gal is?

"Searchin" ..early genesis of the Beatles in mono <bg

( Bet all the "lively" lasses from the pub went mad when these boys played this nitty gritty ditty )

* Originally performed by The Coasters written for them by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
writer/composer duo who also did :

"" Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller made such crossover hit songs as " Hound Dog", " Jailhouse Rock", " Kansas City", " Stand By Me" (with Ben E. King), and " On Broadway" (with Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil).

Later in the 1950s, particularly through their work with
The Coasters, they created a string of ground-breaking hits that are some of the most entertaining in rock and roll, by using the humorous vernacular of the teenagers sung in a style that was openly theatrical rather than personal, songs that include " Young Blood," " Searchin'," and " Yakety Yak." [2] They were the first to surround black music with elaborate production values, enhancing its emotional power with The Drifters in " There Goes My Baby" and influencing Phil Spector who worked with them on recordings of the Drifters and Ben E. King. Leiber and Stoller went into the record business and, focusing on the " girl group" sound, released some of the greatest classics of the Brill Building period. [3] They wrote hits including " Love Me," " Loving You," " Don't," " Jailhouse Rock," and " King Creole," among others, for Elvis Presley. [4]

The pair were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. [5]
