Diamond Popcorn

Next saturday it's again mister 'mellow Popcorn' Theo Dumoulin with his show on Laser Radio.
This time the show is called Diamond Popcorn because of #18 Darren, James - Diamond head.
Doesn't everyone recall his great hit 61-Darren, James - Goodbye cruel world ?

Jimmy "Moondoggie" Darren also performed as a special guest in The Donna Reed Show (starring Shelley Fabares as "Mary Stone" and Paul Petersen as "Jeff Stone"). Lots of hits... many performed on Donna's show in glorious black and white... many songs from "Bye Bye Birdie"... can be heard by these three on Teenage Triangle (1963) and More Teenage Triangle (1964) about which Cub Koda writes
The practice of grooming teen idols and marketing them through popular TV shows hasn't changed much in 50 years, and in the early '60s, these three artists were reaping hit records as the career bonus for appearing on network TV and in teen movies like Gidget. This is pop-rock lite with a nary a sneer or swagger to be found in its 24 original tracks and, as such, makes a perfect little bird's eye view of the state of pop in the pre-Beatle 1960s. These two albums were taken from various solo sessions by the three that produced singles on the Colpix label and hits like "She Can't Find Her Keys," "Johnny Angel" and "Goodbye Cruel World" are all present on this reissue. The only track that features all three of them together is an ear rending version of "Put on a Happy Face" that strains the limit of just how much nice an average listener can actually stand. Believe it or not, pop music was once this simple.
Yes I like the simple Popmusic. If you also do look in the comments !

When you look at Theo's great playlist Diamond Popcorn you will also find at #13 his ending tune 63-Marketts - Bella dalena. Look for this song my very first Popcorn posting 2 april.

I had fun writing this again so I hope you will JOIN (just click this to attend live !) us at 20 hrs local time (when the Popcorn counter on the left goes to zero !) to have some wonderful oldies to listen to. If you don't you will really miss something !!!

Last month I joined Theo and Brigitte in the studio. They had such a warm welcome for me !
I'm certain there will be an even more warm welcome to new listeners. You can even join the 'chatroom' to participate live !!
On the Laser site there is a 'local way' to chat (Click on top on 'chat' ; twice ??) but when you use MIrc or similar here's the necessary info.
Server: IRCnet
Channel: #laserradio.nl
I hope this is usefull. If there are prob's please comment so I can try to help you better next time.

You both must have done something wrong.
Maybe by copy/paste added a 'space' ??
The link is ok and with Winrar extracting is no problem with this PW JeanDupree_39a58.
Good luck !

Both Vinyl Guy and Rigoletto didn't reply until now (2007_02_01) saying something like "I was wrong, thanks".
Is it only taking and/or complaining ?

Today this LP was downloaded 120 times.
Isn't there anyone who has a comment why she/he wanted this ?

I have it already but I loved the show and several of hers and his songs; James Darren was ok too. Johnny Angel has always been a favorite of mine. She did an answer with Johnny Loves Me just like Lesley Gore did with It's My Party and Judy's Turn To Cry. I know there were answer songs by other artists in those days but I like the same artist doing the answer song. Take care Barry
