Answer songs

There was a genre of records that were called answer records, where a sort of follow-up song based on a hit song was recorded to cash in on the hit. This is different than a cover record that was exactly like the original.

Before the Four Seasons Frankie Valli was in a rock and roll group called the Four Lovers around 1956 and 1957. I have taken snippets from their very rare EPs and made a compilation from eight songs.
Simon & Garfunkel meet Tom & Jerry
Переглядів 15 тис.16 років тому
In the late 50s Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel wanted to be rock and roll stars in the worst way. For some reason they got more than their share of chances. Together or individually they were known as Tom & Jerry, Artie Garr, Tico & the Triumphs and also Jerry Landis. Here are some scans of labels to records they made along with a few audio excerpts from a few of their songs.
Alan Freed and some doo-wop
Переглядів 47 тис.16 років тому
Alan Freed was probably the best known disc-jockey of the 50s. His biggest success was in NYC. He also promoted and MC'd several live concerts. Most of these shows had concert programs that you could buy. These are very hard to come these days. I borrowed several covers to these programs from the official Alan Freed website for this slide show.

Always Loved listening to the Dr.
Bring back old times, I listen on the radio back in 85 86 to the end on WTPI and WKLU COOL 101,9, 2023 on the phone now
I have a number of these records and sleeves in my collection, which I bought in 1986: Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Wyatt Earp, Restless Gun, Annie Oakley, Maverick and The Californians. I also have Tales of the Texas Rangers.
I probably have some 4 track cassette recordings from Dr. Demento. Too bad I never marked the tapes.
How I miss this!!!💜☮️
Dr D is the best therapy. Thanks for posting this video.
Used to listen to his show in L.A. "📻 🎶 Little bit o heaven, 94.7, KMET. Tweedle dee! 🎶"
Doctor Demento's annual Funny 25 was an event you waited all week for.
1975 OKC Tinker AFB, sunday nights,,,"the crusher" you turkeynecks.
Except for Johnny Ringo. This is the original theme sung by the show's star Don Durant, who also composed it.
you ought to hear Sam kinison doing ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT
3:28 the first EVER backwards message and i know what it says
Oh how I long for those days from a much simpler time.
Freed the greatest
uptempo
I was 18 and in the Valley ( San Fernando) what a blast! Loved my Tyrollia.
brings you back to a better time,great sounds,cars and attitude and people talked to eash other.
What’s the second song called???
The Doctor is STILL in! New shows every Saturday & 100s of classic shows available. Plus currently beta testing the Dr Demento App for Dementophones (get new shows as they're released, search shows to add to listening queue). DrDemento.com
I want "Your Morning Feature" off the 3rd show of 1990. That is the one and only time that song was broadcast anywhere on Earth. That show has a few other songs that had their one and only airing on Dr. Demento, possibly their only broadcast ever.
ALAN FREED COINED THE PHRASE ROCK N ROLL . HE WAS THE BEST DJ
I loved Dr. D as a teen in the early 90’s I got to appreciate him.
I used to frequent Blue Meanie records in El Cajon CA about 1985/1986. They had a box full of radio transcriptions of the good Doctor's shows for 5 bucks a show. They are pictured in the video with the yellow labels & Westworld one logos. They are 2 record sets with the commercials pressed in on the discs. Anyhow the first time I saw them, i went up to the owner and said "How much for the whole batch?" I was a regular basis 2 times a week customer probably spending a couple hundred bucks a month at the very least, so he gave me the whole collection for 100 bucks. There was about 50 shows, 100 LPs in all. Somebody must have grabbed them at the radio station they worked at, it's probably the best buy I ever made! The records are pressed like fine wine, beautiful to listen to & played maybe once when they went out over the air. THE BEST THING EVER! The Doctor, as much as I want, whenever I want, & crystal clear & clean to listen to!
Did you get these transferred to digital. I am in a trading group on the look out for more shows. If you have 1984 shows, they are first that Westwood One put on vinyl.
I heard that when Alan freed came to LA he wanted to promote rock ‘n’ roll shows with the radio station he was working at in allowing to Bad
I first heard him while dialing into KSJO Radio , From The South Bay as I Remember. ..
The term "doo wop" is revisionist history. Alan Freed NEVER used the term. It was known as ROCK 'N' ROLL.
How I spent my Saturday nights in the early 90's.
I always spent late Sunday evenings heading home from my girl friends place listening to his show. Great memories to this day.
The saint movie
This rocks
I think Dr. Hook must have been inspired by that first answer song for Sylvia's Mother!
Hello Dementia's and Demenshites!!!
Some darn good music!!!!
my girlfriend is from Cali her and her family would tell me about dr. Demento laughing their asses off... So I stop by to check it out what they found so hilarious... I told them I have never heard of him and found out a lot of people where I'm from haven't either. who the hell finds this stupidity entertaining?? stupid as F uck. get a life. whoever thinks this is Talent I usually doesn't know what talent is. this is stupid shit... only mental people would find this entertaining and by talk I mean people that drink their own urine. this is a bunch of BS not funny at all just like Weird Al Yankovic isn't funny but stupid is f***
some people just got stupid ass shit on their mind all the time..
+James King: Sounds like someone needs there Prozac! Lighten up...
The good doctor has never really been appreciated for his talent. His "Doctor" title comes from the fact that he holds a doctorate in music from my understanding. He's getting up there in age and I just hope he is recognized for the talent he really is before he passes on.
MGR1900 I think the good doctor won't pass on anytime soon. He's got a life ahead of him indeed :)
MGR1900 The Doctor aka Barry Hansen was one of the jocks on the orginal 94.7 KMET along with Tom Donahue & the other "long haired rebellious radio freaks" in the early day of progressive FM radio history back before playlists, contests to win gimmicky prizes & what not. They sucked you in by playing different kinds of music back then, not AC/DC over & over again. The Doctor was one of them. We'll never hear that kind of radio again. The huge conglomerates have seen to that.
Nothing used to excite me more than hearing that phrase, "The Doctor is in."
I used to listen to him in the early 70's in Seattle
I discovered Doo-Wop by listening to the Roger Scott show on Capital Radio in the 70's. Used to rush home with the tape recorder ready to record the tunes played. Almost 40 years later, thanks to UA-cam I'm discovering the artists I used to record. These tunes I know of by heart, but never knew who performed them.
What a great compilation! Thank you so much. :D
thank you for this. I grew up in the 80s with dr. d thank you. I used to hide under the covers and tape on old radio onto a tape recorder. with tape recorder held up to the radio. lol.
I did that exact same thing! Such a great memories.

Amen.
remember the "Immoral Minority?" ...."awwww shut up!" LOL
Started listening to him in 1975 on KMET every Sunday! WOW does this bring back the memories, a TRUE CLASSIC!
I listened to his show in Canada in the 1980s, every Sunday night, and I would record the show on some shitty portable cassette player.
Who remembers those Smogberry trees? (distotred voice) DOC-TORRRR-DEEEE-MEN-TOOOOOOOW! Good Times!
Did you meet Jungle Judy?????
I remember listening to his FIRST SHOW! Oct of 1970!
Coming to UA-cam soon I HOPE! :)
