FRANI & THE FRANTICS ON GIANT STAR

March 25, 2022 Chris Bishop 2 Comments
Frani & the Frantics, from left: Fran Russak, Karla Major, Alayne Major and Jim
Morabito

Frani & the Frantics were a vocal quartet of Fran Russak, sisters Karla Major
and Alaine Major, and Jim Morabito. Fran Russak came from Carmel, New York, the
others from Peekskill.

Their one and only single from the spring of 1964, “You Threw a Line” b/w “Skin
and Bones” was also the first on the Giantstar label of Mahopac, owned by
Raymond Meltzer. Giantstar would release three singles by the Mark IV of
Poughkeepsie.

The labels of Giant Star GS 401 credit Dorothea Meltzer & Jeannie Villetto for
both songs. Ray Meltzer owned Jemel Publishing, JNR Production and Music-All
Inc. Copyright registration shows another song, “Why Ya Make Me Wanna Cry” which
Frani & the Frantics attempted but didn’t finish.

Jeanne Villetto had previous experience in song-writing, composing “I Dig That
Guy” for the top side of a single by Claire Lane (aka Claire Litke, a member of
the Ramrods) on Josie 904 (b/w “Run Run Run Away”).

Villetto and Litke also wrote “Do You Hear Me Call?” in 1962, but I’m not sure
if this was recorded.



Alaine Major wrote to me about her time as a Frantic:



> I was one of the Frantics of the group Frani and the Frantics. The “Frantics”
> were myself, my sister Karla and Jimmy Morabito. We recorded “You Threw a
> Line” backed by “Skin and Bones” in 1964 with Ray Meltzer and Jean Villetto.

> Karla, Jimmy and I sang in high school. One day we saw an ad in our local

Thank you to Alaine Major for answering my questions about the Frantics!

Thanks also to Mike Markesich for the scans of the Jarlayns single on Giantstar.

THE OUTER MONGOLIAN HERD “HEY JOE” / “I WANT TO LOVE YOU (SCARED)” ON DAISY

March 10, 2022 Chris Bishop 1 Comment



The Outer Mongolian Herd, signed by Buddy Searcy, Terry Nemish and Devon Patrick
The Outer Mongolian Herd were a short-lived sextet from Enterprise, Alabama, a
small city about 30 miles west of Dothan, and 90 miles southeast of Montgomery.
They are now best known for their version of “Hey Joe”, but I prefer the A-side
of the single, “I Want to Love You (Scared)”, released on Daisy 4846 / 4847.



Members were:

Patrick Devon – keyboards
Glenn Griffin
Jerry Jones
Mike McKinnon
Terry Nemish – drums
Buddy Searcy

At least three of the band attended Enterprise High School in 1968. The
Montgomery Advertiser reported on February 4, 1968, that the group played at
Enterprise High School’s ROTC Military Ball.

Somehow the group met David Keller of the Preachers who became their manager and
released their single on his Daisy label (see also The Omen & Their Luv from
Tuscaloosa).



Ad for the Outer Mongolian Herd at a WBAM event at Brewbaker Buick-Opel, March
30, 1968Devon Patrick and David Keller wrote “I Want to Love You (Scared)”, with
its excellent harmonies and a catchy structure with piano introduction. The flip
is a version of “Hey Joe” with organ and acoustic guitar, and more-than-usual
vocal interjections.



The labels have “Produced & Arranged by David Keller”. They probably recorded at
Ed Boutwell’s studio in Birmingham, but I can’t confirm that yet.

The only other notice I can find for the group is from Alabama Journal in
Montgomery, which ran an ad for a WBAM event at the Brewbaker Buick-Opel
dealership with the Outer Mongolian Herd in person.

THE RAY MARTIN GROUP

February 21, 2022 Nick Warburton Leave a comment
Photo: Melody Maker

Ray Martin – lead vocals

Pete Ross – lead guitar

Brian Brown – bass

Terry Marshall – tenor saxophone

Pete ?? – tenor saxophone

Paul Atkinson – drums

Formed sometime in 1964 after Terry Marshall left The Soul Messengers, the band
appears to have worked at the Ealing Club on a weekly basis throughout 1965. Ray
Martin is probably the same Ray Martin who had previously led Ray Martin & The
Corvettes.

The Middlesex County Times & West Middlesex Gazette has The Ray Martin Group
appearing on a Saturday (and sometimes a Sunday) throughout the year, except in
December when they switched to Fridays (see gig list below which is incomplete).

Ross, however, didn’t join until July 1965 after The Flexmen split up so the
group must have had a different lead guitarist at the outset.

According to Ross, the band opened for James Brown at Tiles (circa March 1966).
They also opened for Neil Christian & The Crusaders at Tiles later in July.

Thanks to Pete Ross and Terry Marshall for input

THE MEXICAN HAT, WORTHING

February 20, 2022 Nick Warburton Leave a comment

The Mexican Hat in Worthing, West Sussex was a popular live venue during the
early-to-mid 1960s. The venue wasn’t advertised regularly in the local press so
I’d be interested to hear from anyone who can add any further details of groups
that performed there.

The Worthing Gazette only advertised the venue intermittently throughout 1964,
so please get in touch if you can provide confirmed concert dates for this year.

Photo: Worthing Gazette

However, it looks like gigs took place every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday and a ‘New Junior Twist Club’ may have started on 8 February 1964.

According to the Worthing Herald, the club was run by manager Chris Vallins. The
newspaper only occasionally advertised gigs at the venue throughout 1965.

However, the Worthing Gazette was better at advertising throughout 1965,
although the list below isn’t complete. This newspaper notes that gigs took
place every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

26 February 1965 – The Detours (Friday) (Worthing Gazette) This is interesting
as The Detours had recently joined forces with Beau Brummell to become The
Noblemen so perhaps a solo gig for the band?

THE (FANTASTIC) SOUL MESSENGERS

February 19, 2022 Nick Warburton Leave a comment

Rod Freeman – guitar/vocals

Ken Rankine – bass (ex-Art Wood Combo)

Terry Marshall – tenor saxophone

Mitch Mitchell – drums

The (Fantastic Soul Messengers) were formed in November 1963 by former
Flintstones members Terry Marshall (who had been in The Flee-rekkers in the
interim) and Rod Freeman.

Future Jimi Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell, who started out with The Crescents
had previously worked with Frankie Reid & The Casuals (late 1961-mid 1962), Pete
Nelson & The Travellers and Johnny Harris & The Shades.

According to Marshall, another band had been booked to play at the famous Ealing
Club on a Sunday and let down the club’s owner by failing to turn up.

As he recalls, “There were musicians in the club so I brought together Rod
Freeman who I went pro with in 1960 when he was 16, Ken Rankine on bass and
Mitch Mitchell on drums. We went down so well that Feri who ran the club gave us
a residency there on the spot for Sundays.”

Regulars at the Ealing Club, the Middlesex County Times & West Middlesex Gazette
has the band playing every Sunday in December 1963.

In 1964, they are also listed for 2 February, 5 April, 18 April and 11 May but
played at the club much more than these advertised dates.

Soon after, Terry Marshall, who joined The Ray Martin Group, was replaced by
American Gary Bell.

Bell, Rod Freeman (back), Mitch Mitchell and Ken Rankine

However, around July 1964, Mitch Mitchell, who joined The Riot Squad that
December, departed and the band changed name to The Next 5.

The new-line up comprised:

Rod Freeman – guitar/vocals

Ken Rankine – bass

Gary Bell – tenor saxophone (from the United States)

Willie Garnett – tenor saxophone (ex-Five Embers, Mille Small’s backing band)

Dave Golding – drums (ex-Flintstones)

The Middlesex County Times & West Middlesex Gazette lists The Next 5 at the
Ealing Club playing a number of Thursdays throughout October and into November
1964 (see gigs below).

According to music writer David Else, they were also resident band at Tottenham
Royal Ballroom.

THE FLINTSTONES

February 18, 2022 Nick Warburton 1 Comment

Terry Slater (lead guitar/vocals)  

Rod Freeman (rhythm guitar/vocals)  

Terry Marshall (tenor saxophone) 

John Puddy (baritone sax)

Sonny (aka Tony Smith) (tenor saxophone/baritone saxophone)

Doug Collins (bass) 

Dave Golding (drums)

The Flintstones were formed in 1961 from the ashes of The Blue Men who included
Collins, Freeman and Golding. Slater had previously been a member of The
Cadillacs.

Marshall was the son of Jim Marshall, who ran the famous music shop in Hanwell,
west London that became a meeting point for many notable Sixties musicians.

Tony Ross, who was called Rupert by the musicians, took over from Collins in
early 1962 after playing in Peter Nelson & The Travellers.

According to Marshall, the band’s first recording was done with the legendary
Joe Meek, who insisted that they record under the name The Stonehenge Men.

That summer singer Pete Fleerekker asked Terry Marshall to join his group, The
Flee-rekkers and Tony Holley joined on tenor sax/vocals.

According to music writer David Else, Puddy left in November 1962 and formed The
Night Sounds (featuring guitarist Albert Lee) and Ricky Marsh took over baritone
saxophone.

Else says that The Flintstones backed Little Richard on a British tour in
September 1963. By this point, Ernie Cox had succeeded Dave Golding and Dave
Green had replaced either Tony Holley or Tony Smith on tenor saxophone.

After a second Little Richard tour in October-November 1963, Freeman left to
form The Soul Messengers with Terry Marshall.

Not long afterwards, Tony Ross departed to join Carter Lewis & The Southerners.

In July 1964, Terry Slater revamped the band with the following musicians:

Terry Slater (lead guitar/vocals)

Mickey Fitzpatrick (bass) (ex-Pete Chester and Chris Ravel Ravers)

Dave Green (tenor saxophone)

Ray Taylor (tenor saxophone)

Ernie Cox (drums)

Not long afterwards, however, Cox and Green joined The John Barry Seven and the
band split up.

According to David Else, Fitzpatrick subsequently worked with future Ferris
Wheel member Mike Liston in Simon’s Triangle.

Terry Slater moved to the US and became part of The Everly Brothers Band.

Thanks to Terry Marshall and David Else for their help.

THE CRESCENDOS “I NEED LOVE” ON ACTION RECORDS

February 8, 2022 Chris Bishop Leave a comment

The Crescendos came from the Leetonia and Salem area south of Youngstown, Ohio,
and made this one single in 1965. “I Need Love” is fine garage, and the flip is
a good ballad, “Blue Sunday”. Both were written by vocalist Jim Altomare.

They cut the record at Gateway and released it on the Action Records label of
Youngstown, between the two singles by the Executioners on the label. Trend
Setter Music did the publishing, and Jerry Starr produced.

Instrumentally, the Crescendos was a quartet but I only have two names so far
Jim Altomare on vocals and guitar and Jim Ginther on drums. I’m not sure who was
playing bass or piano on these cuts.

The Crescendos received a few mentions in the Salem area press. In October,
1964, they played a street fair in Columbiana, and in February 1965 they
headlined a dance at the Knights of Columbus hall in Leetonia.

Jim Ginther was also part of the Invictas from Lisbon, with Jerry Justice on
piano.

Any further info on the group would be appreciated.

THE NOVELLS “GO NOW” ON WESTCHESTER

February 1, 2022 Chris Bishop 1 Comment

The Novells recorded a great lament “Go Now” for Dale Menten’s Westchester label
of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Other than a writing credit to Steve Johnson, the
Novells are a mystery to me.

“Go Now” was released on Westchester DR-271, as the B-side to a version of
“Billy Boy”. The DR-271 number on the label indicates this was recorded at Dove
Recording Studios in Bloomington.

Producer Dale Menten is most famous as guitarist of the Gestures, and writer of
“Run, Run, Run”.

The Minneapolis Tribune on Sunday, June 2, 1968 ran an overview of the local
rock business that included this paragraph:

> Candyfrost Productions is a two-year-old firm that manages about 16 bands and
> does promotion for them as well. The firm did about $400,000 worth of business
> last year. Dale Menten and Peter Steinberg, the owners, are both 23. Steinberg
> is also a major stockholder in Dove Recording, a 3 1/2-year-old rock recording
> compoany that grossed more than $50,000 last year.

More info on the Novells would be appreciated.

THE TEENY TITANS “DON’T CRY GIRL” ON AMBER

January 29, 2022 Chris Bishop Leave a comment

The Titans came from the Denver area, releasing only one single, the very cool
“Don’t Cry Girl” b/w “”Don’t Miss the Boat” on Amber 218-DCG in 1968 as the
Teeny Titans.

The Titans were about 14 years old at the time of the single and had been
together about two years with this lineup:

Dave Feager – guitar
Mark Siegert – guitar
Cheryl Justice – keyboards
Greg Schriener – bass
John Justice – drums

Mark Siegert wrote “Don’t Cry Girl” with two names I’m not familiar with, Wyant
and Tarvin.

I’m not sure how they ended up on the New York City based Amber Records label,
but their B-side “Don’t Miss the Boat” had been the A-side of one Amber singles
by the Zephyrs. Writing credits for “Don’t Miss the Boat” go to Fuller and
Bruce.
