I heard this song on a radio show today, a jazzy, shuffle-type number. It was a bit of a duet with one male and one female vocal, probably from the 60's. They didn't announce the artist, and all Google is giving me is The Velvet Undergound....definitely not them. It's squeaky-clean Bing Crosby-type stuff. The non-pedal solo was impeccable in tuning and style. Very nice work. Anybody here know the song and, most importantly, the steel player? I know it's little to go on, but I've hardly ever seen the whole forum stumped. It sounded a lot like Billy Robinson.
Thanks! |

Jimmy Bowen is a record producer and former pop music performer from the United States of America.
Bowen began as a teenage recording star in 1957 with "I'm Stickin' With You," originally the flip side of the hit record "Party Doll" by Buddy Knox, but ultimately a Top 20 recording on its own. Bowen was a less successful singer than Knox, his partner in the Rhythm Orchids, and ultimately he abandoned a singing career, but stayed in the music business.
In the early 1960s, in Los Angeles, he bucked the 1960s rock phenomenon when Frank Sinatra hired him as a producer for Reprise Records, and Bowen showed a strong knack for production, getting chart hits for Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., all regarded as too old-fashioned for the the Sixties market.
Leaving Los Angeles for Nashville, Bowen became president of a series of record labels, and took each one to country music preeminence. His philosophy was the same in each case -- find a nascent superstar, and take the star and the label to the top together. His success stories included Hank Williams, Jr., The Oak Ridge Boys, Steve Earle, Reba McEntire, The Judds, George Strait, and, finally, Garth Brooks.
