The Toys and Elvis Costello & the Attractions.
May 28th, 2006
I thought I’d take a jazz break for a couple of completely unrelated pop songs that have re-turned me on lately.
The Toys > A Lover’s Concerto
The Toys were truly a one-hit wonder. A great underrated producer, Bob Crewe (The Four Seasons, Mitch Ryder), took Bach’s Minuet in G, put on a Motown bass lined married to a girl group trio, and presto! one of the greatest tracks of one the greatest pop years (1965).
