R 'n R Hall of Fame nominees 2007

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I remember seeing Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers do a song a Shindig. I liked it. I was sorry that I never saw anything of theirs in the record stores. To my knowledge they never received airplay in the US.

Shortly thereafter their bass player left to join The Searchers, who IMO should also be in the HOF.

You'd have seen them after they signed up with Brian Epstein. They had a few hit singles in Britain then. The earlier material, which was produced by Joe Meek, was unsuccessful, but we liked it a lot.

Who cares who gets in? The R&R Hall of Fame is a joke.

I agree with Paul. The R&R HOF is the popular music equivalent of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Up over and out.
