Daniel Boone's real name is Peter Charles Green. He also recorded as Peter Lee Stirling. Beautiful Sunday was his only top-40 hit in the United States. In the UK, it was one of his three top-40 hits. He also charted with Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast in 1971. He was the first to record the song. It became a top-ten hit for Wayne Newton in 1972. Boone first charted in 1963 as a member of the Bruisers, Tommy Bruce's backup band. Here is Blue Girl. It was written by Les Vandyke (real name: John Worsley), who also wrote songs for Adam Faith, Bobby Vee, Petula Clark, Ersel Hickey, Eden Kane, Bobby Rydell, Anthony Newley and many others.
My Ding-A-Ling was co-written by, and first recorded by, Dave Bartholomew. He released 28 singles between 1949 and 1966 and his only chart hit was his second single, Country Boy, which reached #14 on the R&B chart in February 1950. Here is the original version of My Ding-A-Ling from July 1952:
Like I talked about in the cover songs thread, do you like it when someone samples a song you love? Or is it automatic blashpemy? Or does it depend on what they did with it / how well they did it?
I like that somebody's getting paid. Sometimes it's a more obscure act, & those samples end up being a nice cash cow for them if it's a hit.
I don't mind the sample if they do something good with it. But I always have the thought that the target audience doesn't even know where the sample came from (or that it's a sample).
For your amazement and amusement:
