Mexicali Singers

Who here likes the Anita Kerr Singers?  Been listening to Anita Kerr on my local radio radio station for a few decades. Joe Slezik does the Saturday Jazz Matinee from noon to 4PM. Joe started DJing in 1958! Podcasts are now available so you can get a sample of his distinctive style here: http://www.radiofreeamerica.com/schedule/wicn

Before we ended up driving outside the listening area got a chance to hear an Anita Kerr track. My dear wife tolerates my tastes on occasion. And when it comes to the Anita Kerr singers she is extremely long suffering. To paraphrase a favorite blogger of mine... "Do I like the Anita Kerr Singers a little more because she likes them a little less?" A harmless marital riff?

A favorite Joe has played over the years is  The Anita Kerr Singers doing Ray Charles HARD TIMES (NO ONE KNOWS BETTER THAN I). These Southern white ladies know all about hard times...



Stan Cornyn--"King of Liner Notes" wrote for the Mexicali Singers.  And there is also a nice write-up at the Space Age Pop page.

It's all completely fabricated baloney. As the Anita Kerr Singers ARE the Mexicali Singers.

Lying is not new.....

This is my own rip from 1999.

Joe never played the Mexicali Singers. Or tracks like "Tijuana Taxi" or "Yakety Sax". But got me started to find this...
