okay----i happened onto another video by a recording studio session musician named Leland Sklar. An electric bassist, he says his 1st real professional gig was for a record called: "Gypsy Woman". The singer was Bryan Hyland, who also sung "Itsy Bi8tsy Teeny Weeny Polka Dot Bikini" as a teen, a few years prior. But yeah---all the AM Radio stations played his records, at the timew. I know you kids were busy listening ONLY to the Beatpools(Mop-topped Foursome) or the 'Stones or Pieman & Gar****le or going camping up at Bethel, NY on that certain weekend in 1969. But yeah--I was not as sophisticated, so in late 1970, i was working on a car at the hobby garage at Elmendorf, Anchorage Ak., to get in out of the cold, and the radio played: "Gypsy Woman" and also "My Sweet Lord", by onof the Beatpools---I believe it was Harry Harrison(Mop-topped and maybe bearded by then), enough times that I recall it. Hairryson got sued by a group of girls outta dee-troit, who contended that Hairryson "borroed" the melody from THEIR song, called: "He's So Fine". But yeah---after many years, they gots a seddelmint. Yup. Where was I? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah: Leland Sklar was the recording studio bassman for "Gypsy Woman", which i liked. The record had a rather mournful, subdued melody & vocals but an upbeat, heavy rhythm bass & drums and keyboards--all dubbed in, of course. Anyway---Sklar recollects that he went into the studio, did as required(played bass guitar), without hearing the song until quite awhile after it was released to the public. Someone approached him with a Bryan Hyland record album, and asked him to autograph it, and he claims he had not heard the song on the record. Isn't that interesting? Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.
