| The Forgotten Village - #2Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:05:59 -0800 by creativefunnelCreated using footage from the film "The Forgotten Village", this is a film that is in the public domain, that being the case I decided to dive into it and see what I could discover. This is the second of, hopefully, many clips from this intriguing film. I intend to stay faithful to the spirit of the film, and to be inspired by it. Story and screenplay by John Steinbeck. Narrated by Burgess Meridith. Music by Hans Eisler. Photography by Alexander Hackensmid. Directed and produced by Herbert Kline. Pan-American Films.

| Tequila/The ChampsThu, 01 Jan 2009 17:12:46 -0800 by ReyDLT1957The story of the Champs began with Dave Burgess, who was born December 13, 1934, in Beverly Hills, CA. Burgess first recorded for Okeh Records, a subsidiary of Columbia that issued country, blues, and jazz records. Burgess was eighteen when he recorded his first two Okeh singles: "Don't Put A Dent In My Heart" and "Too Late For Tears." In 1955, he recorded two singles for Tampa Records, "Don't Turn Your Back On Love" and "Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue." All were country and had no success.In 1956, Burgess was recording for Top Records. Top would take unknown, but talented artists, have them cover the latest hits as closely as possible to the original, then issue them four-to-a-record for forty nine cents. Top's slogan was "twice the music at half the cost" and it was a bargain until the unsuspecting buyer got home and played the record. Burgess appeared on an unknown amount of records, but at least ten came out with his name in the credits.Ethics aside, Burgess got a first hand education in recording and performing while at Top. In 1957, while working as a deejay in Lancaster, CA., to pass time he composed songs and sent them off to various music houses. Two became very successful that year" "I'm Available" in the "pop" field and "I'll Be There" in the country market.His songwriting brought him to Challenge Records, a Los Angeles company founded in April, 1957 by Gene Autrey. There he recorded as Dave Dupree, as well as under his own name. Four of Challenge's first singles were recorded by Burgess, who became a regular session guitarist for Challenge.One afternoon in 1957 Burgess was working a session. With some studio time remaining, Burgess asked the other musicians to stay to help him come up with a B-side for a record he had previously recorded.One musician offered a Tex-Mex sax line, another a snappy guitar riff, the drummer played a backbeat on the bell of his cymbal and Burgess plucked the muted strings of his electric guitar.The song was called "Tequila" and was spoken after each bridge. In ten minutes they had a take.Everyone who heard the tune liked it and Challenge decided to release it immediately. However, the group needed a name, and someone suggested Champions, after Autrey's famous horse. The Champions became the Champs, and demo copies were sent to major deejays across the country in late December, 1957. "Tequila" was topping both the "pop" and R&B charts by March 1958 and went on to sell a million copies and win the 1958 Grammy for Best Rhythm and Blues Performance.
