Song Of The Day – “You’re So Good To Me” by Debra Swisher

by

She was originally the lead singer of Pennsylvania girl group The Pixies Three whose Mercury Records single “Birthday Party” made it into the top 40 in 1963. Then she met up with the production group of Jerry Goldstein, Bob Feldman and Richard Gottehrer who produced and wrote the hits “My Boyfriend’s Back” for The Angels, “I Want Candy” by The Strangeloves (who were marketed as a group from Australia but were in fact Goldstein, Feldman and Gottehrer themselves) and “Hang On Sloopy” by The McCoys. When they met up with Swisher in 1966, they decided to record her covering this Beach Boys classic…and another garage gem was born. Criminally, the single didn’t get any chart action and she went on to join The Angels. Richard Gottehrer went on to launch the legendary Sire Records label with Seymour Stein who recorded everyone from the Ramones to Madonna to Talking Heads.

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Our Day Will Come” by Ruby And The Romantics

by

The magical ingredient of this song that sets it apart from all others is the swirling roller rink organ. Ruby And The Romantics’ million seller “Our Day Will Come” was their first hit back in 1963. While many think they were a one hit wonder, their follow-up single, “My Summer Love,” rose to #16 on the charts. They were also responsible for the original version of the song “Hey There Lonely Boy” which became a hit for Eddie Holman as “Hey There Lonely Girl,” and “Hurting Each Other” which became a big hit for The Carpenters. The group featured Ruby Nash on lead vocals with Ed Roberts, George Lee, Ronald Mosley and Leroy Fan on support vocals. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons brought “Our Day Will Come” back to the #11 position on the charts in 1975 with their remake of the song.

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Cupid” by Sam Cooke

by

I had to go there…it is Valentine’s Day and Cooke’s voice was as smooth as the finest of chocolates. So how did a holiday associated with romance and love have so much death, despair and martyrdom at its core. St. Valentine was a Christian martyr who was beheaded in AD 269 for trying to convert the Roman Emperor Claudius II to Christianity. His head (or at least his skull) is on display in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. The rest of him was buried on February 14th. The holiday became associated with romantic love during the time of Geoffry Chaucer in the High Middle Ages. His poem, “The Love Birds” states “For this was seynt Volantynys day, whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make,” or “For this is Saint Valentine’s Day, when every bird cometh there to choose his mate.” The holiday was deleted from the General Roman Calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul IV. Draw back your bow on that one!

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “In Dreams” by Roy Orbison

by

Some songs are forever changed by the movies that they appear in. For instance, one can’t help but feel the pain and helplessness of the police torture scene in the film “Reservoir Dogs” when listening to the Stealers Wheel hit “Stuck In The Middle With You.” Roy Orbison’s rather innocuous “In Dreams” also took on a more sinister tone when it was used by David Lynch in the film “Blue Velvet” forever changing the hue of the song for all of those who saw the movie. That said, one can’t deny the majestic beauty of this Roy Orbison classic. I was fortunate enough to see him in the late ’80s in concert and he had one of the most amazing operatic baritones capable of soaring over several octaves right up to the end of his life. What other songs have been changed for you by their use in the movies or on TV?
