Scopitone- Ain't it Just Like Me

I know that I normally have Scopitone Wednesdays but, this being a special occasion, I thought I would put all my Nomads in a party spirit with this little ditty. Still sounds cool despite the fact that all the dancers are probably grandmothers now. Enjoy.

I admit to doing a double take at the man lounging under the canopy in the first seconds of this clip. A flesh colored speedo? I suppose this is a balance for all the women dancing in the other Scopitone clips. Okay.. now, let's do the Hully Gully.

Tell Him Right Now…

Another great Scopitone video clip of this super Exciters hit, Tell Him. January 1963. http://www.history-of-rock.com/exciters.htm

It's a Happening World…

Here's a happy song by Paula Wayne to put a Nomadic smile on your face. Special thanks to Scopitone for this happening clip.

And One of Them Just Winked….

I thought you might enjoy a bit of beach blanket madness. By the way, I still dance like the guy in blue Speedos- even to slow songs.

Blowin' in the Wind

"Blowin' in the Wind" has been covered by hundreds of artists. The most commercially successful version is by folk music trio Peter, Paul and Mary, who released the song in June 1963, three weeks after The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was issued.

Misirlou

The song was first performed by the Michalis Patrinos rebetiko band in Athens, Greece in 1927. As with almost all early rebetika songs (a style that originated with the Greek refugees from Turkey) This song was rearranged as a solo instrumental guitar piece by Dick Dale in 1962. Dale's father and uncles were Lebanese-American musicians who were a part of the aforementioned ethnic nightclub scene.

Paris Sisters-What am I to do

 

The Paris Sisters were Albeth, Priscilla, and Sherell Paris, a soft voiced sister trio from San Francisco, California. The group was formed in the early '50s. I really like this teddy-bear sound. If you would like to know more about the Paris sisters, here is a link:

Eartha Kitt- Old Fashioned Girl

I might have published this clip months ago but given her passing a few days ago, I don't think it is out of order to publish once more. A unique woman.. classy performer.

The Song for the Day!

Sue Lynn sings this hit of the 60s..
