Humble Pie: (MARRIOTT) "Natural Born Bugie" (1969)
adapted from WIKIPEDIA:
"Natural Born Bugie" is Humble Pie's debut single. One of the first British supergroups, here Steve, Peter and Greg each sing a verse of a mid-tempo rocker. In Aug. 1969 "Natural Born Bugie" reached #4 on the UK Singles chart.
As I was typing the above it occurred that this was Humble Pie's only chart success. Their other two singles didn't rise above #50. Therefore is the appellation of supergroup appropos? Perhaps Blinding Flash works better.
PERSONNEL: Steve Marriott (composer, rhythm guitar, Wurlitzer electric piano, vocal); Peter Frampton (lead guitar, vocal); Greg Ridley (bass guitar, vocal); Jerry Shirley (drums)
Released in UK Aug. 15, 1969 on vinyl IMMEDIATE 45 #IMOC 001

"I Love You A Thousand Ways" is the flip side of Lefty Frizzell's breakthrough single, "If You've Got the Money (I've Got the Time)", a #1 C&W hit in Sept. 1950. For 10 years, TOPS Records specialized in cover versions of current hits. Despite a few mediocre performances forever memorialized in shellac, TOPS moved a lot of 78s, perhaps due to bargain bin prices. Source: worn shellac TOPS 78, #2...

How is possible to improve one of the best Rolling Stones songs ever written and performed, but she did!
From one Annie to another -- welcome! Thanks for listening . :?D Note that Mick admitted this was entirely a Keith Richards song.
thank you so much for sharing
You're most welcome and thanks for listening !
Always liked ELO. They had a reel to reel machine on stage that helped them stay in sync but were accused by a Promoter & the press with cheating. It hurt their career & was unfortunate as both Yes & The Rolling Stones also used them through the monitors as " click " tracks.
Maybe they needed a giant metronome? Cool trivia, David!
His English-like Italian is quite hilarious but great voice nonetheless.
Initially the song mostly made waves in the R & B circuit but later became a favorite with white audiences too. Oldies radio played it a lot in the 1960s. What a classic !!!
Have you seen the Bo Diddley cover on this channel? th-cam.com/video/13PuBRexmfU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yihBUROp5jjEjGJY
Fantastic images ! Love the sunset & birds & horses. Excellent work.
Thanks, David. No other channel has this one. Just shot the best-sounding hard rockin' video I've ever attempted. The cam's AVC circuit didn't kick in, distortion is negligible and volume up there. I've known of this famous British quartet forever but never heard them until now. Great song.
The only doo wop song to come out on 3 different labels and 3 different years ,1958 planet,1960 lost nite and 1961 on old town when it finally became a national hit peaking at number 3.
Three times a charm. Quite a success story; too fictional for Hollywood.
Thanks for the compliment I always enjoy sharing my music knowledge with my fellow music aficionados.
@@stevevilinsky7464 You're welcome here. The mix changes constantly.
I’ll be around,thanks.
Full of fleas?!
Que?
@AnnieVanAuken I thought I heard that in those lyrics.
Yah, that's what he said. LOL Wild and wooly and infested. He's in sore need of a kerosene bath.
Good stuff!
Glad you like it. There's so many of these late '40s C&W 78s here because I bought bulk lots from a seller in Arizona.
I just knew Homer would be in this 😅
How prescient of you! :?D Alright, an explanation is necessary. There's about 5800 videos on this channel. The first 300 were made before I discovered how to eliminate the visual hum present here. So this is one of the Terrible 300.
Love this & the variety continues ! Elton couldn't top JFK but he topped the charts.
Hi Annie! If I may add another name to pantheon of western PA, coal country, C&W singers, you might look into Howard Vokes. In the late 50's/early '60's, he was called "Cowboy Howard Vokes" but when I knew him in 2012-13, in New Kensington PA, he was just Howard or Mr. Vokes. Without going into all the details, we met by chance on the street and struck up a conversation about music. Turns out, he had this glorious background as a songwriter and performer and he shared some of his stories. He was a very sweet and interesting man, and I feel lucky to have met him. Check out his version of "Willie Roy, The Crippled Boy." It's here on YT.
Peachy, what is your name may I ask? Thanks for the info on Howard Vokes. You're most welcome to comment here anytime! Did you know that Merle Travis wrote "16 Tons"?
I'm Adam, 63 y.o. & a lifelong music junkie with a particular fondness for folk music. Meeting Howard Vokes and getting to know him was just one of those weird coincidences, or synchronicities, that the fates brought about. Was very sorry to hear of his death (in 2018). Love the channel, btw. You have great taste in music! Hoping things are good with you 🌞
@justpeachy4938 Adam-- I'm with yah on folk music! Just this morning I located here among the countless records ELEKTRA Folk Sampler #2. It includes one track I cannot wait to process: Alan Arkin singing "The Crawdad Song" from ELEKTRA album #21. PS-- thanks! That you're here checking out my eclectic taste in sounds says much about your preferences. PPS-- are you familiar with Greg Brown?
A true solo effort from Stevie. Any doubt of his genius erased here Still sounds fresh in 2025.
A masterpiece song from his best LP.
Sadly , most of Jim's big hits came after his death. Very nice song. I remember purchasing the 45 at Woolworth.
I always liked this song. I saw Stevie Wonder in concert at the University of Northern Colorado along with Gil Scott-Heron. Both were fantastic.
Great cover ! & Great looking images of her. Beauty & talent 😊
Her voice!
Her face!
Not bad for a debut ! What a great career he had. So influential. Wish I had seen him live ..Wish I had been to The Apollo.
The "I....I.....I..." part was imitated by Eddie Murphy on his 1st comedy album in a James Brown routine that nailed the Godfather of Soul's later act. At one point Eddie says "I...I..."just like this record and the audience fills in the spaces with "I...I..." "Touch muhself! AOW!"
Wow, the ABB version is so similar. Guess Duane figured it didn't need messing with.
I wonder if Duane was playing this with the Hour Glass?
This album was in our house from my childhood, and I love it dearly. This is an especial favorite. Thanks for sharing it.
You're welcome! Thanks for listening. Which LP did your folks have, the Percy Faith or the Great Songs?
I saw him live in the 80's. Pretty brilliant. Love the occasional episode of The Untouchables that pops up. Cool imagery 👍
Thanks, David! :?D
I had never heard this before. A couple of my favorite novelty break-ins were based on The Untouchables.
I'm wondering if the 1960 song "Alley Oop" was inspired by this vocal? Up next a famous soul singer's first record.
My friend Chuck Askernee liked the show so much he named his band after it .. The Untouchables .. they were on MCA in the states & Stiff in the UK 🇬🇧 ! Mod / Ska band
Boys in Liverpool were listening. I would've been listening & purchasing. All time classic.
I caught Taj Mahal and Bonnie Raitt at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver in 2009. Great concert. She took the Katy and left me a mule to ride. Love ya Annie!
The name H Bomb is most appropriate.
Thanks for including the sheet music that showed both Richard and Pat Boone on the cover, Annie. For people that weren't alive back then, (I was) I'm sure it's hard to imagine a time when someone like Pat Boone could cover a frantic Little Richard rocker like this and be pretty successful with it!
A classic mid-1950s film clip has Pat Boone finger-poppin' awkwardly as he sings, "Tutti Fruitti". So square and different from Richard!
That’s right and right on time just came home and needed a pick me up and came through like you always do the band backing him up we’re solid musicians especially the sax man number one fan boom digging this sound thanks annie
We got a genuine eccentric blues shouter next! Tenor saxophonist Lee Allen had a minor 1958 hit, "Walkin' with Mr. Lee".
I remember when Florida, wylona, and Thelma sang this on Good Times.
Which part?
Bonito!! Recife - Pernambuco
1906. Incrível!
Sounds like the Beach Boys

Sing this to the Llamas and alpacas while doing chores
Any capybaras?
Nothing like a bit of oompah from a Sousaphone!
In a time before transistors this song was listened to over tuba radios. (Three valves on that Sousaphone!)
@@AnnieVanAuken Music, & the technology we listened in on, was much better in those days. That's my un grid biased opinion! I'll never become a 'collector' of transistorised equipment 🙂
@@tiga4180 I had the first American transistor radio and didn't realize it. Bought this GE radio at a junk store for $2. It needed a wire soldered on the battery cage, so I was set. A large radio and heavy, as the case seemed indestructible-- metal under a skin? Nice to cradle in the left arm while walking, also It had a sturdy handle so if necessary you could swing this at an attacker and cause major damage. But the sound, awesome, full tone, plenty of bass with the most delightful faint white noise at zero volume. Ran on 6 D cells. We were light years behind Japan on components in the '50s. They had small, square clear plastic variable caps for frequency tuning while we were still using metal knife blade monstrosities outta the 1930s fer chrissakes!
@@AnnieVanAuken Yes, recall marveling at those Japanese miniaturised tuning caps & the dinky little IF cans. What let things down was the tinny sound from the tiny speakers. Good that you got awesome sound from your transistor radio. There are still folks who prefer the sound of tubes
@@tiga4180 I have a late November day memory of walking up our gravel driveway, home from school, the GE radio cradled in my left arm as scattered globs of snow (not flakes) gently fell. On the radio, a brand new song just released by the Beatles, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". It was such a uniquely serene moment that the memory's stayed forever. Although it was a transistor radio, this was more a small suitcase. What sound!
Interesting that this song bombed & was revived. Given the right kind of publicity, I feel it would have succeeded first time around. Wonder how many other great songs were lost.
As you know there are many more small indie labels than nationally available ones, so as you suggest, many worthy songs are lost before they can be heard by a wide audience. This was a unique, and to the benefit of the Capris, a fortuitous case where one individual saw the value of their song, touted it to friends and scraped together the necessary funds to buy song rights and further to incorporate a record label to showcase it. It didn't take long before an established label arranged to distribute "There's a Moon Out Tonight" beyond the NY Tri-State area.
Yas Yas Yas!
Mr. Waller regrets...
This song has been carried on for a hundred years & probably will be for another hundred. It's a no doubt classic.
a forgotten good one
I would have liked to see my parents dance to that one.
As usual the video is essential to watch.
I try! Somehow these transfers from vinyl sound better than dubs from mfr. CDs.
Sounds like BTO.
I suppose this 90 second song has been sampled on a few occasions. I like macadamia nuts 😋. Cool video 👍
Part of the celebration. The last thing Howard says is "Four Seven". Incredible.

I wasn't released, I escaped.
@AnnieVanAuken , remember when 'Escapism' came out?

Lost Nite was one of the best reissue labels!
Oh that picture with all those C A P R I S spelled out vertically. I'm proud of all involved with this record. Every name, Italian, and my Paternal Grandparents were from Amalfi.
As if reminding us of the golden era of teen symphonies weren’t enough, you also enrich our memories with the dramas which gave birth to the symphonies. This song is such a golden Doo Woo romantic standard and without your liner notes, I would never have guessed that it nearly fell into obscurity. Thank you, Miss Annie!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! Yes, this song is marvelous. Glad you liked the trivia.
Jerry Greene had a good ear ! A Top 10 hit .. well worth the investment.
Greene's a legend because he's one of us: a compulsive collector of sounds.
