Joanie Sommers (real name Joan Drost ) was an American pop singer and actress whose greatest success came with the 1962 release of the hit single, "Johnny Get Angry." Born in Buffalo, NY on February 24, 1941, she was 18 years old when Warner Bros. signed her to a contract in 1959 and paired her with Edd "Kookie" Byrnes on one of his singles. She also had a small role in "77 Sunset Strip", the television series that featured Byrnes in the role of Kookie. In addition, she sang on Byrnes' "I Don't Dig You" and "Hot Rock," which appeared on one of his albums. This is Don't Pity Me (Warner Bros 7” 1965).
Here’s Wings, and the beautiful I'm Carrying, one of Paul McCartney’s great post-Beatles composition. You can find it on their seventh LP London Town (Parlophone 1978).
The Dentists were an indie/pop band from the Medway towns (as part of the Medway scene) in England who were active from 1984 to 1995. We conclude first with Leave Me Alive, from E.P. Hear No Evil (Independent Projects Records 7” 1992) also on their third LP Powdered Lobster Fiasco (Homestead Records/Ball Product 1993) and then end with Killing Me, from their 4 track E.P.
