Garage Rock Classics: Little Latin Lupe Lu
More frat rock than garage, Little Latin Lupe Lu was none-the-less a staple of sixties DIY bands. Written by Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers, it's your basic "Lemme tell you 'bout my baby" number in the Gloria mode. Mitch Ryder had a hit with it, and it's been covered by The Box Tops, The Flowerz, and Sly & The Family Stone, to name a few. This post includes six selections. In a Flipside first, there are not one, but two all-female bands. The Heart Beats (above) were from Texas and recorded a few sides in the mid-60's. The Pebbles are a contemporary Japanese Groupsound trio. Rounding out the set are The Outcasts, surf band The Keymen, The Dennisons (from Liverpool), and Frat Rock icons, The Kingsmen.
