Phil Baker and the Beau-Marks
"Joanie, Joanie" b/w "Back To School Hop"
(Frontman Records)
These 1961 songs were recently discovered on long-forgotten 78 RPM wax. They were recorded by golden-age rocker Phil Baker and his group. (He's the father of the renowned Big John Bates.) While more mannerly than incendiary (to be expected, given the quaintness that characterized the birth year), they hint at passions granted public exertion in later times.
Phil succumbed to cancer earlier this year. All proceeds from sales of this single will go to the mission of abolishing that cursed malady.
