Lou Giovi Quintet [197x] An Evening at Giovi's Inn

These guys have the classic cheesy lounge act vibe and the highlight is what they do to the Carly Simon hit "You're So Vain", never heard it like this before. They also do Hurricane Smith's fab song "Oh Babe What Would You Say" (titled "Oh Babe" here), "Godfather", "Mack The Knife", "My Way" (of course), an excellent "Delilah", "For Once In My Life" etc. Recorded live and issued on Mark Records # DM 68447 early '70s I'd guess. He must be the owner of the nightclub as LP is titled "An Evening At Giovi's Inn". [PM]
