Groovy baby – yeah!
Otis stopped by this morning for a nice cup of tea and a sit down
and brought us a lovely letter from Stuart Willowgate.
Been blowin’ since Christmas ‘08 – or trying to, and loving
it! I heard the song Groovin’ with Mr Bloe as the ot msic
to " and #ames’ beer tor o$ Britain and have now $ond
it on yor site% I remember it the $irst time rond! I thin&
its on a C har' based in or arond the ( or ) hole draw%
*ny ti's to 'laying it, or a tab 'erha's+ Thanks for your comments Stuart. You’d be referring to the entry
about roovin’ With !r "loe on our #arp Trivia Who Played
That page. $t’s not the first time !r "loe has come into
conversation% so we ought to investigate the song and nail that
tab for you right away.
Background

!ay ()*+. $t was held off the top slot by !un go Jerry’s In he
-mmertime. ,nbeknown to many% it is actually a cover
version. The original% called rooving With !r "loe% was released
in the ,S- as a " side on ife /ecords by a studio band called
Wind and the song’s creation is credited to their band members
"o entry% Paul &aumann and Kenny Laguna.

record the ,S hit Ma&e Believe. Stuck for a " side% they threwtogether !r "loe% another bubblegum groove with some thrown
together harmonica lines. -nd yes% it is the same Tony Orlando

Writer 2enny aguna recalls3 Bo Gentry and I found him [Tony
Orlando] looking rather portly, and working behind a desk at
April Blackwood ublishing! "e talked him into singing a hit
called #$ake Belie%e&, a shameless 'our (easons knockoff! I sang
the high %oice and Tony sang baritone!!"hen #$ake Belie%e&, the
first "ind single, was ready to be released, we needed a B)side!
Our Bddah releases were known for their ridiculous B)sides,
like A)sides played backwards in order for the business dudes to
copyright something with themsel%es as writers, e%en though
they couldn&t write songs! *One of the record company heads
actually had a +)year old daughter who had written more songs
than ole orter-!"e dusted off a backing track from a #.ummy .ummy&, #hewy
hewy&, #(ugar (ugar&, #$oney $oney& wannabe song that was
called something like #Bingo Bingo&, and impro%ised a hapha/ard
harmonica and melodica o%erdub for the B)side! After #$ake
Belie%e& was a Top 01 hit in the 2nited (tates, we sent it to
3ngland! There, the %ery e4ited and supporti%e BB was happy
to showcase the latest hit by our bubblegum dynasty! It was an
instant success!
I got a call from Bo Gentry, who said, I&%e got a wedding present
for you, you wrote the 56 record in Great Britain! "hat song7 I
asked! Groo%in& with $r Bloe was the answer! I didn&t remember
a song with that title! It turns out the Beeb *BB- had
unwittingly played the wrong side of the single and the throw
away B)side became a worldwide hit, one of the biggest
instrumentals of all)time, one of my greatest songwriting efforts,and, although in the 2( it only reached top 81 in Billboard, it was
used as 9ick lark&s American Bandstand theme for many years!
Ah, the many and %aried wondrous ways of the record business!

harmonica and appeared on the b)side of a single by the 2(
#bbblegm# band "ind!
