Trowbridge (Thursday 2nd September 2021

Yesterday I drove over to Trowbridge, stopping off at the canal at Sells Green and Bowerhill on the way and also doing some shopping, and this gave me the opportunity to see C's kittens, rescued from a farm, Mika (above) and Loki (in Extras). Whilst there, I also got to see the first two new episodes of the final series of The Walking Dead, which is no longer on Sky but only on Disney+ (which I don't have).

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Goldie and the Gingerbreads - Bye bye baby (recorded 20 November 1963, New York NY)
Goldie and the Gingerbreads had separate recording careers in America and England for two different labels (Spokane and Decca) but this version of Mary Wells' Bye Bye Baby wasn't released on either, first appearing on Ace's Where The Girls Are Vol. 2 in 1999. My copy arrived on this day. I haven't played it yet but had recently discovered and played this on the new anthology of all their recordings.
Mary Wells wrote Bye Bye Baby while she was a struggling 17-year old nightclub singer in Detroit, and hoped to get Jackie Wilson to record it. According to Wikipedia, she saw Berry Gordy while attempting to deliver the song to Jackie Wilson, and asked him to give the singer her song. But Gordy, having severed ties with Wilson's manager to form Motown, asked Wells to sing it herself for Motown. Mary recorded Bye Bye Baby in her version of Jackie Wilson's style in August 1960 in New York. Reports claim that she had to record the song 26 times or more before Gordy had the version he approved for release, Take 22.
