ONE MORE SATURDAY
NIGHT
SHA NA NA’S FIRST ALL ORIGINAL DOOWOP AND ROCK ‘N’ ROLL C.D.
SHA NA NA debuts “brand new old school” in their new collection: SHA NA NA-
ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT on The Gold Label.
The project including all original Sha Na Na songs was produced by the
original drummer and WOODSTOCK veteran Jocko Marcellino. Jocko’s writing
contributions include THE CAT IN THE P.T. CRUISER and TOKYO BOP written with
guitarist Buzz Campbell, LOVE CAN HURT written with Mitch Margo of THE
TOKENS, and LOVIN’AIN’T SO HARD TO FIND, a song he sang as the lounge singer
in the movie RAINMAN.
As well as the title track ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT and GOOD ROCKIN’ TONITE,
piano man Screamin’ Scott Simon is the co-writer of SANDY originally sung by
JOHN TRAVOLTA in GREASE. (Sha Na Na recorded six other songs for the GRAMMY
nominated GREASE soundtrack.)
Sha Na Na co-founder Donny York offers DON’T YOU REMEMBER and ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
HALL OF FAME penned in 1970, long before the establishment of said
institution. Besides his distinguished roots guitar work Buzz Campbell
demonstrates his writing chops with MAYBE and BLUE aptly sung by Jim
Waldbillig against the rock steady drum groove of Paul Kimbarow.
Reggie Battise leads the Sha Na Na vocal attack with his distinctive bass
and lead vocals from doo wop to rockabilly, from the street corner to the
dance hall and from New York City to the Tokyo Ball. The collection also
includes bonus tracks featuring guest vocalists Pat Boone and Conny, the
Japanese pop singer.
With their six year world wide syndicated TV show, appearances at WOODSTOCK
and in the film GREASE and over three decades of constant touring, Sha Na Na
stays ready to rock.
Now, Sha Na Na gets it right with the good rockin’ of ONE MORE SATURDAY
NIGHT. |
