Riviera Show Band [1969]

Terrific song selection and gutsy live performances with male and female lead vocals, soulful energy opens with tuff version of Otis Redding's "Tramp", has Young Rascals "People Got To Be Free", BS&T medley of "You've Made Me So Very Happy"/"Spinning Wheel", a version by the girl of Stevie Wonder song "I Was Made To Love Her" (here titled "Him") that is worth it alone. Also a cool garagy bossa-nova girl vocal version of Doors "Light My Fire", "What Does It Take", "Ain't No Way", "It's Not Unusual" etc. Recorded live at Pal Joey's in 1969 and issued on Circo Record Co. # SLP-2113. Top shelf show band with cool pics of them in action on the cover. [PM]
