Artist: The Keane BrothersLP: The Keane Brothers
This first LP from The Keane Brothers (Tom and John) was produced by David "Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire" Foster, it was released in 1977 and it was found by me at the Dakota Ranch Thrift Store in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The record evidently once belonged to a gal named Patty Jackson, who kept strict accounts of her various schoolyard boy-crushes on the LP's lyric sheet/production notes insert, as seen below. I can't help but suspect that Patty Jackson was probably one of the "ugly ones"—chasing cute boys around the playground, just like in the Keane Brothers song. You can read about the brothers here, listen to more of their songs and become their MySpace friend here and watch a neat clip filmed off someone's TV of The Keane Brothers performing "Help! Help!" and being interviewed on the Mike Douglas Show here. As an added bonus, Cab Calloway makes a brief appearance too!

ReplyDeletecool, thanks for the link. Am I the only one who notices an uncanny resemblance between young John Keene and comic actor Joe E. Brown?
