There's a reason why his one brief tour of England was such an eye opener for a lot of Brit kids; George Harrison, for one, apparently followed him all around the country just to get a chance to figure out what he was doing on guitar.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-72006366805745674682010-11-08T13:02:20.986-05:002010-11-08T13:02:20.986-05:00Ed Sullivan and the mob.

As for VF, anyone but me find it interesting the announcer before the clip says the record went "nowhere" "for a year" until they were on Sullivan? How did they get on the show if their record had gone "nowhere" "for a year"? The phrase "notoriously mobbed-up" echoes from various bios.petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-47118528010758123142010-11-08T10:56:02.766-05:002010-11-08T10:56:02.766-05:00The Vanilla Fudge aren't from Long Island???
