Well, good things always come in three

Georgie Fame & His Blue Flames on Hullabaloo in 1965
I think I heard my favorite congas player
Yeah, we see him at the end of the vid!
Look at the faces in the audience! I'm sure they're bewildered
by this amazing congas player!

Well if you want to see something funny and hip,
mix rock'n'roll with a cartoon, and this is what you get

Rock'n'Roll Music - The Beatles Cartoon
I think that's a pretty good idea for a mini-serie
on your weekly Shindig!
What da you think?

Movie Of The Week
/
Don't Knock The Rock (1965)

Here's the trailer of the movie

You Will Dig The MOST!

U.S. film. Follow-up to "Rock Around The Clock." Alan Freed, Bill Haley and his Comets, Little Richard and the Upsetters, the Treniers, Alan Dale, Dave Appell and his Applejacks.
A rock and roll star returns to his hometown to find that rock and roll has been banned by disapproving adults who say "rock and roll is for morons!" This is the film that introduced Little Richard to a mass audience.
During a jitterbug dance scene a female dancer is tossed in the air…and not caught! They left her fall in the film. Classic 1950s rock and roll film. Alan Dale, Patricia Hardy, Alan Freed, Fay Baker, Jana Lund, Pierre Watkin. Don't Knock The Rock!

Or I should say two!

Recommended by Modculture, approved by Dewey Freed!

Here's the first part which is a mix of infectious Rhythm'n'Blues mixed with jumping Exotica :
Beat Party volume 1

And here's the second part which is probably more into soul music ; but you know what, the best is to judge by yourself :
Beat Party volume 2 

Utterly cool stuff!
