Much superior remake of the Dorothy Pay number from 1958 this was the
first Dinah/Brook collaboration. #5 BBpop #1BBr&b

Never heard of this one before, and it wasn't on Rosemont's site, but it
will be soon.

Never heard of this one either, it's good. There's a better sounding one
on YT.

Another good one I did not know that is being added to the files.

12. BLUES STAY AWAY FROM ME – DORSEY & JOHNNY BURNETTE

I recently realized this was not released until 1960 and moved it there.

16. LOUISIANA MAN – RUSTY & DOUG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4bf-Dd5Xa4

I get it now. The record collector in you likes to use the video that
shows the original 45 even though there may be another one that sounds a
little better.

23. HEAVENLY BABY – ALLEN & ALLEN

Another good one I did not have. I know it's a Toussaint thing, but who
is the other Allen?

24. LIKE YOU USED TO DO – SHIRLEY & LEE

I'm gonna keep an MP3, but it's way too produced and with a big
orchestra. Does have a pretty good sax break though.

25. ALWAYS IT’S YOU – THE EVERLY BROTHERS

My first DJ job in 1979 on Wednesdays in a dump called Shortway's
Frankie C. requested this and I told him I didn't have it. He wasn't
happy when he later saw that I did have it. Did not want to play an off
record like this that nobody else in the place would know. Frank was off
Wednesdays at the time but working the other 6 nights at various places.
