As I've indicated, they are never quite separated. They are peas in a pod. Don't you think that it's odd?" "Their habits, I confess, none can guess with the couple.

Did The >Electric Indian ever record anything else? All this time I've been thinking that the band was called Kemosabe and the name of the record was "The Electric Indian" but now on closer inspection, I see that indeed the band is called The Electric Indian and the record is called "Kemosabe". So, yes the Electric Indian recorded at least one LP on United Artists called "Kemosabe". They do covers of "I heard it through the grapevine", "Spinning Wheel" and Len Barry's "1, 2, 3 " as well as a few originals. I think Kemosabe is a great tune and I'd classify the record as closer to "jazz rock" in a Ramsey Lewis vein than "easy project" but then again, I'm not sure what easy project really implies. Speaking of the arrangers on the record, besides Tom Sellers, there's also Vince Montana Jr. and Jimmy Wisner, a name that shows up on a lot of Canadian easy listening records. Anyone know anything about Jimmy Wisner?

This was the very first of their Denny albums released. Not knowing if we would be able to put out any more, I had to decide which album would be most worthy to be released on CD and for atmospherics and exotica quotient "Afro-Desia" had to rank as one of the most incredibly examples of the whole "exotica" genre. It was only following the success of this album that I approach EMI with the request to go after the other albums which they thankfully allowed. As Denny comments on this album in the linear notes appearing in the "Quiet Village"/"Enchanted Sea" CD stating that these lyrics WERE gibberish. They were what they imagined African chanting sounded like -- all the more adding to world- music-meets-Tin-Pan-Alley aspect that made "exotica" so precious.

It's the Benson & Hedges jingle. I haven't heard the thing in nearly 30 years and now I can't stop humming the frickin' thing. So here's are the questions. Who wrote it? Who performed it, and if anyone knows anything else interesting about it, like the name of the song if it has one, that would be great?

The Brass Ring (featuring Phil Bodner) performed it. Keep an eye peeled for the album (Dunhill) which has a tall, pretty blonde with her arms wrapped around a short, portly fellow, who stands a good tweleve inches shorter than she and is thrice her age. It actually hit the charts in 1967, made it to #36. Title is "The Dis- Advantages Of You". The Brass Ring's other big success was "The Phoenix Love Theme" (from "Flight Of The Phoenix") which did slightly better in 1966, hitting #32. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 11:11:49 +0000 From: the_curator@eat78rpm.demon.co.uk Subject: (exotica) Rhapsody 21 by Toni Mineo lp up for grabs Folks over the weekend i found a copy of ...

He was 75. He joined CBS-Columbia Records in 1960, serving as art director and vice president of creative services for ten years. He worked with musicians including Miles Davis, Janis Joplin and Leonard Bernstein, and painters like Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol. His cover designs for Barbara Streisand's ``People'' (1964) and ``Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits'' (1967) won him Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. He received the academy's President's Merit award in 1997. Cato's career spanned 50 years, beginning in 1947 at Harper's Bazaar magazine. There he was exposed to a mixture of photography, Modernist art, open space and sharp typography that would help define his later work. His final ten years were largely devoted to fine art, photography and producing books, including ``Joyce Images'' (1994). Ernie Wise, straight man (though he hated that description; "he was the comedian, I was the dancer" he said) to Eric Morecambe in the British comedy duo "Morecambe and Wise", died on 21st March 1999. Their career had started when each were already established 'juvenile' (now that's a word you don't hear very often these days) performers. Ernest Wiseman danced and Eric Bartholemew sang comedy songs including, "I'm Not All There." The song wasn't at all politically correct but, as Eric performed it, it was bloody funny. The partnership started their act in the long range 'big gestures and lots of repetition' style of performance required by music hall and, later, variety theatre performance. Then they took in the halfway-house 'sound only ' technique needed for radio. Later still, they developed their material to the 'close up' visual comedy style which was only possible with the coming of television. Others didn't and *they* fell by the wayside while Eric and Ernie were still cruising at the top of the profession. They did this with the aid of considerable skill and very good writing, and those who call(ed) them cliched and derivative miss(ed) the point that they themselves established many of the conventions which they later sent up. Ernie would not accept anything other than 'Top Of The Bill' after Eric died of a heart attack, and this limited the amount he worked in his last few years. A great shame, but a situation of his own making. - ------------------------------ Death anniversaries for the week of 22 March - 28 March: Monday, 22 March 1978 - Karl Wallenda; high-wire walker 1991 - Dave Guard; musical performer, The Kingston Trio 1994 - Walter Lantz; animator, Woody Woodpecker Thursday, 25 March 1992 - Nancy Walker; actress, "Rhoda" Friday, 26 March 1990 - Halston; fashion designer Sunday, 28 March 1979 - Emmett Kelly; clown - ------------------------------ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 09:19:48 -0500 From: "Nathan Miner" Subject: (exotica) Brains Attack!!!
