Free Music Notes for Cameo Parkway 1957-1967

Free Music Review: ~CAMEO-PARKWAY CD DEBUT~WAIT IS OVER~A REAL TREAT!!!
Hit: 5 Stars

Opening this long-overdue collection of musical treasures from the Philadelphia classic Cameo/Parkway label is a mid-fifties song "Butterfly" which is an delightful song that was a big Pop & R&B hit for Charlie Grace but he lost his way with the follow-up which is a complete Elvis copy but lots of fun nonetheless!!! A group called The Rays and Cameo/Parkway finally hit pay-dirt with the smash hit "Silhouettes" which I remember as a young child being a huge hit that was played endlessly and it is a completely memorable classic that still sounds great today..."Back To School" is a big hit from 58 that features a wonderfully soulful vocal by Timmie "Oh Yeah" Rogers and Chubby Checker did a similar "school" song "The Class" which was his chart debut but the legendary smash was still a few years ahead...all the early tracks are wonderfully funky and completely infectious and showed the spirit of this label musically brilliant thus it was not surprising that this little label became the little GIANT and one of the most legendary of the independents!
Cameo really exploded in 1959 with Bobby Rydell who clearly is one of the top male vocalists from this era and for this fan one of the best ever...this is one of the great singer's of this era who made me fall in love with music...what can you say about an artist this awesome? Every song from this wonderous singer jumped out at the listener as something incredibly special and every song on this great collection by Bobby Rydell is a winner but "Wild One" and the intoxicating "Sway" are special stand outs!!! As a pre-teen I ran out and got every single release from Bobby Rydell and have them to this day...this guy is still going strong while being highly underrated and for shame to the music industry for this...catch his current "Now And Then" and be blown away by a remarkable singer still in peak form...BRAVO BOBBY RYDELL!!!!
Of course "The Twist" was THE great novelty dance hit of all time and put Chubby Checker on the map for all time and BRAVO to Chubby who is still going strong...his "Pony Time" is a great cooking R&B classic that still sounds great to this day!!!
Cameo continued in the early sixties with some great group sounds and "Bristol Stomp" made quite an impact but the mega explosion was The Orlons doing "The Wah-Watusi" which launched this legendary group who were the beginning of the great musical sixties "girl group" sound which was a strong force throughout the sixties!
A totally magnificent female DIVA was introduced early 62 in a duet "Slow Twistin'" with Chubby Checker and Dee Dee Sharp is one of the greatest of the soulful singers to come out of the sixties and really one of the greatest ever while sadly remaining highly under-rated and overlooked for some strange reason..."Mashed Potato Time" shows what a tremendous voice this great singer has and if you want to hear some of the greatest soul-stirring singing ever then be sure to check out Dee Dee's seventies output on TSOP and it is shocking to listen to these incredible masterpieces and wonder why they did not make Dee Dee Sharp the Superstar that she deserves to be...what is wrong with the music industry letting someone this great go without the proper acclaim??? No wonder the music industry is crying the blues with poor sales figures when it doesn't build on incredible talents such as Dee Dee...and hopefully this great artist will grace us with an update as it is long overdue!
Chubby Checker and Bobby Rydell continued with complete magnificence in 1962 with numerous great hits and The Orlons continued to be one of the hottest groups of the sixties with classics like "Don't Hang Up" hitting the top of the charts!
Old classics like "Sweet Georgia Brown" were fair game for Cameo/Parkway which shows how musically creative this great label was with no limits...and even Clint Eastwood cut a corny single which is included is this great collection.
A final Bobby Rydell chart-hit "Forget Him" is a classic that was composed by Tony Hatch and this was done before "Downtown" so this wonderful Bobby Rydell classic set the stage...a holiday classic "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Rydell & Chubby Checker is sublime!
"So In Love" is a magical classic from "The Thymes" from early 63 and the great voice of Johnny Maestro (The Crests and Brooklyn Bridge lead singer)is heard on the sublime "I'll Be True" and this is one of those "should have been" a hit as this guy can really sing...another explosion hits in 63 with the incredible Patti LaBelle doing classics in her own way making "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Danny Boy" athems of our generation...a orchestration creates another memorable sound and "Cast Your Fate To The Wind" is remarkable and the piano player Johnny Pearson is wonderous and created a classic!
The Kinks had their American Debut with "Long Tall Sally" and it shows off what they became famous for...a pre-Ringo "Boys" is infectious and "Wild Thing" is a fun novelty.
Cameo/Parkway kind of lost the way until it signed the wonderous singer/songwriter Evie Sands who should have been one the the really huge legendary singers like Dusty Springfield or singer/songwriter's like Carole King to come out of the great musical sixties but for some strange reason Evie Sands fell through the cracks...listen to "Angel Of The Morning" and weep that this great original was not the hit version...this extraordinary singer went on to do classics such as "Estate Of Mind" in the seventies even though her great sixties output was tragically ignored and this is a complete mystery to us hard-core music lovers...Evie is the ultimate singer and writes great songs also...listen to her sensitive treatment of the Burt Bacharach "The Love Of A Boy" and wonder why and how this horrid oversight happened..."Women In Chains" is a recent great original work that shows Evie Sands still in sublime form!
It is easy to see the beginnings of the classic Philly Soul Sound in this magnificent collection when listening to soulful greats such as Eddie Holman and The Five Stairstep's whose songs in this legendary collection are at the top...The Five Stairsteps turned to the legendary Curtis Mayfield who wrote and produced and you cannot get better than that!
Many soulful classic's fill this incredible and legendary collection and the Cameo/Parkway swan song must be ? and The Mysterians "96 Tears" that is another strong athem of the incredible musical sixties!!!!
Enjoy as this kind of musical greatness will never happen again...and a big "Thank You!" to everyone that had a hand in the production of this fine, super fine musical treasure chest and to all of the original classic talents that are contained in this masterful and wonderous collection!

Cameo Parkway 1957-1967 Poster

The first comprehensive compilation of releases on Philadelphia's legendary Cameo Parkway label, whose hits dominated the independent music market for several years during a golden era of pop music. Includes classic artists such as Bobby Rydell, The Orlons, The Dovells, Dee Dee Sharp, The Tymes, Chubby Checker and many more. Contains 115 tracks on 4 CD's, including 60 Top 40 hits! Universal.
Nervous and retiring, Bernie Lowe hardly seemed the stuff of an indie-label pioneer. But when the musician and former music-school teacher teamed up with former student/struggling comedy writer Kal Mann in a fledgling songwriting partnership that eventually saw Elvis score with their "Teddy Bear," the die was cast. The pair had launched Cameo the previous year in Lowe's Philadelphia basement, showing a quick knack for scoring chart success with MOR pop (Charlie Grace's "Butterfly"), novelty kitsch (Zacherle's "Cool Ghoul"), and teen-idol rock (Bobby Rydell and others)--the latter thanks largely to serving as talent farm/bullpen for Dick Clark's then Philly-based American Bandstand. But it was Chubby Checker's era-defining dance smash "The Twist" that saw the label's fortunes soar (still the only record to claw its way to the top of the charts in two different years). This generous, 115-track, four-disc anthology of the label's long out-of-print catalog details those highlights and more, wending its way through even unlikelier novelty fare (Clint Eastwood's rasping tribute to his Rawhide TV character, "Rowdy"; RFK impersonator "Senator Bobby" orating a dizzy cover of the Troggs' "Wild Thing") to such '60s garage-rock staples as ? and the Mysterians' classic "96 Tears," the first American release by the Kinks, and promising early sides by Bob Seger. --Jerry McCulley
