RIP: Sonny James "Young Love" (possible Stones related too - "Bo and Peep" )

Sonny James did "Young Love" and some other good songs.

This is all unsubstantiated rumor, I never heard this before.

That Bo and Peep were the Rolling Stones and they did a one-off make of "Young Love". Check it out.

Quote

The truth is that Bo & Peep was a one-shot offshoot of Andrew "Loog" Oldham's efforts at establishing a Phil Spector-type music factory, possibly from the same sessions on which Gene Pitney and Phil Spector hooked up with the Rolling Stones for the latter's official recordings ("Now I've Got a Witness" etc.). The Rolling Stones played behind Bo & Peep on "Young Love," and Kim Fowley was the lead singer on "Rise of the Brighton Surf." "Young Love" was the Sonny James hit, while "Brighton Surf" is a savage parody of the Animals' "House of the Rising Sun." Bo & Peep were no more than a brief vignette at the outset of the Rollong Stones' history, in their first full year as a recording act and would-be rivals to the Beatles. There's no mistaking the playing behind "Young Love," and completists can only ponder what other products of those Oldham-exploitation sessions remain in the can.

Another video on youtube pushes this story as well.

Sonny James', the Southern Gentleman's, original "Young Love".

I may try to add some other Sonny James songs later.

Edit On:

Sonny James and the Southern Gentlemen, "Miracles still happen": [www.youtube.com]

Also, he did the Seekers' "World Of Our Own", decent and had a hit called "Running Bear", big hit, I think we'd call it a novelty-type of song.

Never heard of this... Which Stones? Playing as side musicians, session men?

Any hopeless recording material has resurfaced?

I had to pass this on. Maybe someone knows about it. I don't. Another video over there says the same as well and that song "Rising Surf of Brighton" is on youtube as well, the flip-side.

Thanks

That is the Stones? Maybe.. I would never have guessed...

The sound of the lead guitar (1'50) is not so raunchy and interlaced with breaks, upbeats and silences as Keith used to play...


But maybe this is all due to the producing...
