Dobie Gray – Inka Dinka Doo(1963/05)
ドビー・グレイ – インカ・ディンカ・ドゥー
日本盤シングル(1963/11)では “Be A Man”(大きな夢を)のB面。

Before Dobie Gray achieved hit status with his Charger single,’The “In” Crowd in 1965, he was chugging along issuing a half a dozen non charting discs on the Stripe and Real Fine labels label between 1960 and 1962. Signing with CorDak Records under the direction of Fred Darian, his first record out of the chute was a tune entitle,’Look At Me’. While not a huge hit, it did make some noise and sell a few records in several areas. After a follow up disc tanked post haste, Fred Darian wasted no time in sending out the next single utilizing the common practice of mimicking the sound of the hit record before it. In this case, the Jimmy Durante tune,’Inka Dinka Doo’ was put together with the same personnel in the studio and a rip off arrangement mirroring’Look At Me’. Not at all a bad effort but it came and went rather quickly. There was one final CorDak single that flopped before the switch to Charger Records where in December 1964 Dobie’s recording career would change drastically for the better.

recorded in NYC January 30, 1932
A 12-inch Brunswick medley of the familiar Gershwin showtunes “Of Thee I Sing,” “Who Cares,” and “Love Is Sweeping The Country” (but good luck finding any other period commercial recordings of that third title). The musical “Of Thee I Sing” (book by George S. Kaufman & Morrie Riskynd, score by George & Ira Gershwin) opened the day after Christmas 1931, played 441 performances, and starred Victor Moore.
Johnson-Shirley ADBORAF notes that due to the presence of Bennie Krueger and four different vocalists at this session, it’s possible that this and the other titles from that date were actually perfomed by the ARC house band using Lyman’s name.
Session data also indicates that some weeks earlier (January 8th), both this and the flipside (Medley from “The Laugh Parade”) had been recorded in longer-duration tracks that were issued on a fine-groove version of the same-numbered Brunswick 20103. The “Of Thee I Sing” side purportedly ran 5:35 as opposed to the 4:33 standard-groove duration heard on this post.
