JOE LOCO & HIS ORCHESTRA - HAPPY GO LOCO
Joe Loco was the guy who first came out with a mambo record in the US, Tenderly it was called, came out in '51 and in '53 he came out with the first cha cha record.... He was playing the trombone in Count Basie's band when he was 17 years old and later played with some other greats like Xavier Cugat.... Nice album this, came out in '59... Not the hard and heavy mambo from Perez Prado (which I prefer) but there's a few really nice one's on this one, like the tune Ja Da Cha Cha Cha.... Check it out....

This song is not on this album but it's pretty much in the same vain as this album:

OSCAR HARRIS AND THE TWINKLE STARS
I only know Surinam born Oscar Harris from more conventional pop songs and I had no idea that he was making incredible music in the 60's and 70's. Picked up this album today and it just blew me away, incredible funk and soul....

BOB BOOKER & EARLE DOUD - THE FIRST FAMILY
Here's a very, very funny album spoofing the Kennedy family. Get it while you can, a lot of links are being taken down within 24 hours now, will look for another uploader. The reason I've been using mediafire is because I can continue uploading something if my internet connection goes down (which is quiet often at the moment) but this SUCKS....

ACYUTANANDA SWAMI AND OTHERS
More beautiful music from India. Tried to find information about this album but all you find is "unknown artists". Well, one artist who is on this record for sure is Acyutananda Swami, an American who lived for many years in India and who became quiet famous for his singing bhajans in the early 70's, there's just no mistaking his voice and I will soon share another album that features more songs from him....
Also Srila Prabhupada, Founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), commonly known as the "Hare Krishna Movement" is pictured on the cover....
This album came out in 1971....
