Moderators Lee Knight Posted July 6, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted July 6, 2014 I just love the drum groove on this track. It completely drives the singer to bring the performance she does. All I can find out is that it was recorded and produced by Luther Dixon at Bell in New York. Maybe it was the groups drummer, and if it was, he's an awesome badass. But I suspect it was a studio pro. Anyone have any info on this? Smith, "Baby It's You," a Burt Bacharach song originally recorded by The Shirelles, and later covered by The Beatles. This version outcharted both previous versions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te3592iafMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any info on this? No, I think Luther Dixon (who was Bacharach's co-writer on the song) produced the Shirelles' version in New York. Smith were from LA. A guy named Robert Evans was their drummer. This seems to be a lip-synch version from Ed Sullivan. Here's another track. The drummer kicks ass here too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkUJA6NEPYM He's certainly got the pocket on this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted July 6, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted July 6, 2014 It might be him! It looks like he's got a book out called, A Different Drummer. I like him. Thanks for those videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LCK Posted July 7, 2014 Members Share Posted July 7, 2014 Bruce Woodley. He was a member of The Seekers. He co-wrote this Simon & Garfunkel song with Paul Simon, though he wasn't given credit for it on the Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme LP. [video=youtube;3Tth-lt1TvI] He and Simon also co-wrote this tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted July 7, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted July 7, 2014 Man! I am digging that drummer! No, I think Luther Dixon (who was Bacharach's co-writer on the song) produced the Shirelles' version in New York. Smith were from LA. A guy named Robert Evans was their drummer.

Members bee3 Posted July 9, 2014 Members Share Posted July 9, 2014 Well, my friends in Trampled Under Foot are calling it quits to perform solo projects. It's a shame... because they are an excellent band. I thought this was an appropriate song to post... Goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bee3 Posted July 10, 2014 Members Share Posted July 10, 2014 War on Drugs... interesting band with a pretty cool sound. I really like what the drummer does here. The keyboardist is a friend of mine... he sent me pics of Paul Shaffers keyboard rig.

Members bee3 Posted July 10, 2014 Members Share Posted July 10, 2014 I toured for 5 years with her brother, the guitarist... she used to come out and visit when she was 15... we'd bring her onstage to perform with us and she'd bring the house down.

Members Delmont Posted July 11, 2014 Members Share Posted July 11, 2014 Broken Bells: Really solid, interesting instrumental work. A little too much going on for my minimalist taste, but that's just me. The lyrics don't rise to the occasion. Sweater Weather. Put a sock in it. Paolo Nutini: Not my style, but the guy really rocks. Smart, passionate, thoughtful, and with music that works just right with the songs. He gets terrific musicians working with him. This stuff does not happen by accident. High marks. Royals: Original. Good. Fun. That's entertainment! High marks. Coasters: I've always loved those guys. Never heard this one. Reminds me of: High marks. Baier: Not my style, but she sure nailed emo, didn't she? High marks. Tedeschi and Trucks: Oldgit got it. They're both musical monsters in their own rights, but together, they take it to a whole new place. High marks. John Sebastian: Can do no wrong. High marks. Can't open the John Cleary tune. I'll have to look him up. Thanks, Lee! Del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
