This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #Medicine. Here's the Olympics doing their version of the classic Rudy Clark & Artie Resnick song, which was later a #1 US hit for the Young Rascals:

The Olympics: Good Lovin' (1965, a live version from "Shindig!")

The original version of the song had been recorded by Lemme B. Good (Mercury 72418), but while musically similar, it has a different set of lyrics, with no reference to illness or doctors. Rudy Clark is the sole credited author on that version, so I'm guessing that it was Artie Resnick who came up with the new lyrics.

For this week's #MusicWomenWednesday I've chosen an old favorite by Bettye Lavette:

Bettye Lavette: Let Me Down Easy (1965)

This fabulous clip is a live performance from the ABC TV show "Shindig!", originally aired on June 9, 1965. She was 19 at the time.

In 2004, I had a chance to see her sing this song (and quite a few others) at a Finnish blues festival. She was very good. I think I may have also had a brief chat with Heikki Suosalo, who did an interview with her, published here:

Saw that the #Tadpoles are getting active again … so … SOB released Tads alum David Max's Sons of the Void back in the distant past, mastered by the sage Kramer.

“an impressive collection of tunes delivered with deftness of touch and more than a few neat hooks. We need more of this, really we do.”—#Shindig! Magazine

“Bright and vivacious…grips the turntable like you’ll never want to remove it…”—#GoldmineMagazine

December 31st and, as is #traditional in the #UK, we have charged glasses in front of us & our television tuned to Jools Holland's #Hootenanny.

This annual #shindig, recorded a month past, sees out the new year with music & chat; #music played live, in front of an #audience, where all are in on the joke.

Ah, ain't it grand.

Goodbye, #Shoulder #Season.
And #Farewell to:
- All #Orange #Decor
- The #Lawn #Mower
- #Capri Pants & #Beach Towels
