Patty and Kim are good kids, nice girls.
Patty was my mother's name. So was Kim.
The three of us are here today to bring you
the exciting news that, starting next year,
we will be joining Shady Del Knight's
entertainment company The Shady Bunch
and hosting our own radio show here on
S-P-M-M. It's called Plan B (Soft)
and today we have a preview.
As experienced lawyers, Patty, Kim and I make a formidable dream team.
We lay down the law, mount a rigorous defense. Remember our slogan:
"Your problems will be little 'cause we always win acquittal." Now I can
hear some of you asking, "What exactly do you mean by Plan B (Soft)?"
"Plan B" is where we create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors
that our client is guilty. We do that by pointing the finger at somebody
else and suggesting they did the crime. In today's test case Kim, Patty
and I intend to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, in fact, beyond a
shadow of a doubt, that there is no better radio show anywhere
than the one we will be hosting on S-P-M-M. As you will see
than the one we will be hosting on S-P-M-M. As you will see
and hear... the evidence is overwhelming and irrefutable.
Now meet our client, Eva (below)... a 1950s teenager.
Eva's a good kid, a nice girl. Eva was my mother's name.
Eva came to us for help, informing us that she got
tangled up with a bad crowd and was arrested
for stealing hubcaps. We will argue that it is
her boyfriend Johnny's fault, not hers.
Eva came to us for help, informing us that she got

The defense will show that Johnny is a sketchy character in the truest sense,
a juvenile delinquent with a rap sheet a mile long, a bad apple, rotten to the core,
and that he was a bad influence on our client. We intend to prove that Johnny,
for the purpose of his own self gain, deliberately, wantonly, and with
malice aforethought, initiated our client into the seedy
gangland world of criminal mischief.
Submitted for your approval, exhibit A,
evidence that Eva is an innocent victim,
a mixed-up, shook-up girl who
got in over her head.

Our closing argument is this, ladies and gentlemen
of the jury. Our client, Eva, is a nice girl from a
good family who fell under the spell of a dope
peddling, hubcap stealing gangster, a Svengali
who controlled her, manipulated her, made her
do his bidding and ran her afoul of the law.
It wasn't our client's fault, plain and simple,
and therefore you must find her "not guilty."
The defense rests. It is our contention
that this is an open and shut case but,
ultimately, it is you who must decide.

ReplyDeleteHi, Alex!
DeleteThanks for reporting in and claiming the early bird spot for the 447th week, good buddy!
Good one! The idea behind Plan B is to shift suspicion of guilt onto somebody else, and Slippin' Jimmy McGill is always doing "shady" things. By the way, there is a Plan B (Soft) and a Plan B (Hard). As you might expect, "Soft" means the guilt is merely hinted or suggested, whereas "Hard" means pointing the finger and directly accusing another person. In this case, The Berluti Bunch went after Eva's boyfriend Johnny "Hard," but they hope to win future cases by going "Soft."
Thanks again for dropping in, good buddy Alex!
It couldn't be Johnny because I'm sure he was at the Shady Dell having a burger at the snack bar with Helen and getting a talking to from John about sneaky women/teenage girls who will send him up the river without a paddle. Eva wouldn't steal a hubcap because she would break a nail doing that! Nope, it must have been somebody that Eva was covering up for and pointing the finger at Johnny to take the heat off the real culprit...jury is still out. All I do know for sure is I saw Neil Diamond in concert 51 years ago!!! Holy Geritol Batman, I'm old! Have a great day Shady..I'm going to take a nap!
ReplyDeleteHi, YaYa!
DeleteYou almost made it here in time to take the early bird spot, dear friend. Thanks a lot for coming over to meet The Berluti Bunch - Jimmy, Patty and Kim!
Ha! That sketchy Johnny looks like a guy I remember seeing in the crowd at the Dell in my early months of Ratdom. He had a vulgar nickname, one that I cannot put into print, plus a mean streak. He was the kind of guy who would pop you in the snoot if you looked at him the wrong way. One night I was standing close to him in the dance hall when he got into a scuffle with another guy, resulting in pushing and shoving. I got shoved about ten feet from my original spot. However, there weren't very many Dell regulars of his type. Gosh, it almost seems like you were a 60s Dellette because the scene you are picturing in Helen's snack bar with John dispensing advice to a troubled young man was a common scenario. You could be right about "Evil Eva." She looks so innocent (not)... but you can't be sure what's going on in her noggin. She's probably bad news, trouble with a capital "T"... but she is still entitled to a legal defense and that's where the Plan B law team comes in.
Wow, it must have been exciting to see a live Neil Diamond show when the great singer/songwriter was in his prime. I'm surprised you remember that event because you were only a newborn baby at the time. :)
Thanks again for dropping in to read, listen and reminisce, dear friend YaYa. Enjoy the rest of your week!
It was Terry Stafford's fault with that suaveness, snapping his fingers and that hair, he would lead most women astray. loved listening to these musical pieces that some I hard and some, I didn't. I do like that Neil Diamond song but the title always made me go ewwww.
ReplyDeleteHi, Birgit!
DeleteThanks for stopping by, dear friend! I'm pleased that you traveled all these many miles... all the way down from Canada... to meet Jimmy "The Grunt" Berluti from The Practice, Patty Solis-Papagian from Goliath and Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul, the three legal eagles who will host the new SPMM radio show Plan B (Soft).
I think Terry Stafford was using that "greasy kid stuff" on his hair. :) I was surprised and delighted to find that colorized clip of Terry appearing on the March 28, 1964, episode of American Bandstand, a piece of trivia I forgot to include in the captioning.
The Neil Diamond song that kicks off this Plan B sneak preview has not aged as well as some of his others. Take, for instance, these lyrics:
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man
That was already an incorrect assumption to make in 1967 when the record was released, and it is even more so in 2020.
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself today, dear friend BB. Thanks again for coming and have a great week!
Hello "Plan B (Soft) team! It is nice to meet you, although I don't believe I have seen any of you before today. So welcome, Jimmy, Patti, and Kim.
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to start of your introductions with Neil Diamond! He is a real great and "Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon" is one of his best.
I guess I missed Patty and The Emblems with their "Mixed Up, Shook-up Girl", but it's a pretty good song.
You really hit the case off good with your choices of oldies that are pleasing to the ear. I remember The Newbeats' "Bread and Butter" and always thought it to be a fun song. That is the only tune I recognize from the group, and I did enjoy "Evil Eva".
The strategies you used for the case should have proved one way or another who was to blame...beats me! I'm in it for the music, haha! All of the evidence points to "Little Town Flirt", "You're the Devil in Disguise" and "Suspicion" leads us to believe that "She's a Fool". All of these are modes of operation leave me clueless, but happy in song!
This is a fun introduction, and I look forward to more cases like this! I love these artists that presented their cases. I am sorry though, for having lost Elvis, Del Shannon, Terry Stafford and Leslie Gore too soon. They all had so much more to offer, and contributed so much to our musical history.
Thank you for this great post. Take care dear friend, Shady!
Hi, Suzanne!
DeleteThanks for hustling over so quickly, dear friend. I'm excited to see you!
As you see, the three hosts of my new legal series Plan B (Soft) do not match the characters you picked in an effort to Win a Dream Date With Shady. In fact, no one who entered last week's contest came up with the correct combination. Since I don't want to travel around the world all by my lonesome, I will allow you and other readers to "fight over me" to determine who gets to come along. I will provide kindling and a flintstone. The first contestant to make fire wins the dream date! :)
I'm happy that you enjoyed the post starting with the first song by Neil Diamond. It's one of my favorites by Neil although, as I mentioned to BB (above), it is a tad presumptuous to assume that a woman needs to be taken care of by a man when she grows up, especially today in the 21st century.
"Mixed-Up, Shook-Up, Girl" by Patty And The Emblems was big big big in my neck of the woods. I always wondered why on the 45 rpm label they placed a comma after "Shook-Up." It is superfluous and confusing, like the phantom comma on "Paint It, Black" by The Rolling Stones, a Decca Records printing error that led to allegations of racism.
"Evil Eva" is my favorite Newbeats single and I have an original copy of that Hickory 45 in my personal collection. As you can see, the song was the inspiration behind the title and theme of today's Plan B (Soft) court case. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the entire song block that helped tell the story of the defendant "Evil Eva," and the efforts by her attorneys to clear her name and get her off scot free.
Yessum, many of us know that Elvis, Del Shannon and Lesley Gore all died too soon. Thanks for mentioning Terry Stafford, who passed away in 1996 at the age of 54 as a result of liver problems. I might add that both Terry and Elvis made successful recordings of the song "Suspicion."
I'm delighted to know you had a good time today. Thanks again for joining the fun, dear friend Suzanne. I wish you and Scootie a safe and happy week, and I invite you to join me again next Monday for the official debut of Brian Griffin's new SPMM radio show Eclectic Avenue!
I forgot to mention that for years I thought "Suspicion" was recorded exclusively by Elvis, and even argued the issue. Terry Stafford's voice sounded so much like Elvis. It was remarkable and I love the song. I know that Elvis has covered the song too, and, of course did a superb job! It's funny when I remember that! I was even willing to be money on it, haha! Have a good week Shady! It's been in the 70's in my neck of the woods.
DeleteHi again, Suzanne!
DeleteThanks for adding to our discussion, dear friend! Terry Stafford was indeed an Elvis the Pelvis soundalike. Regarding "Suspicion," from what I read the chronology of events is as follows. The song was first recorded by Elvis and included on his 1962 album Pot Luck. Just two months after Elvis laid down his version, Terry Stafford waxed the song as a demo, but Terry's recording wasn't released as a single until 1964 when the demo was remastered. The final product is the hit version you hear at the end of the post. The Elvis version was issued as a single in Europe on the heels of Terry's version and performed well on the charts in The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Denmark. The Elvis version was also released in the UK years later, around Christmas 1976, and made the top 10 there in February 1977.
I'm sure you remember other artists who had hit records imitating the vocal style of Elvis. Joe Dowell had a hit with "Wooden Heart," a song that had been a hit for Presley in Europe but was never released by The King as a single in the U.S. When Elvis died, soundalike artist Ronnie McDowell had a hit with the somber part spoken/part sung "The King Is Gone."
Thanks again for returning to chat and spread cheer. Say hello to Scootie for me and enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Suzanne!
I feel like I should know more of those songs (and several did sound familiar), but honestly.... it was only Elvis's number that I recognized for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleading the fifth on this!! (is that the right ordinal number to plead?)
Hi, Kelly!
DeleteI'm delighted to see you, dear friend! Thanks for dropping in to meet the legal dream team that will be hosting Plan B (Soft), my new music series on SPMM Retrosonic Radio coming your way in 2021.
You are quite a bit younger than Shady, and therefore it doesn't surprise me that you don't know most of these songs that charted in the early to mid 60s. They were all hot hits in my local top 40 market in central PA.
Pleading the fifth is better than drinking the fifth, I would think. :) Thanks again for coming over and learning some new/old songs presented by the legal eagles from The Practice, Goliath and Better Call Saul. Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Kelly!
Hi Shady,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex! Saul did it! :)
What a wonderful mix of music today. I've heard of Neil Diamond and I've heard of this song, but the other songs you've posted, I've never heard before. I liked what I listened to, especially Evil Eva and Little Flirt. I have my mix for work tomorrow and the office on Thursday! :)
Have a great evening dear friend.
Hi, Jessica Marie!
DeleteHow goes it, dear friend? Thanks for coming over to meet Jimmy the Grunt, Kim Wexler and Patty Solis-Papagian - the legal dream team that will host Shady's new SPMM radio series Plan B (Soft) starting next year.
Seems you and Alex want my legal eagles to point the finger at Saul Goodman. It seems like that would be a conflict of interest since Saul's law partner, friend and lover Kim Wexler is on the defense team. :) I'm glad you know the terrific and prolific singer/songwriter Neil Diamond and remember this particular song. I'll bet your dad knows most of these. The title song of the post, "Evil Eva," is my favorite recording by The Newbeats and I have that 45 in near mint condition. "Little Town Flirt" is one of the best and biggest hits made by the late great Del Shannon.
I hope you take this playlist along with you to the office and enjoy learning the words and melodies to a batch of new to you oldies. Stay safe and keep your distance.
Thanks again for joining the fun, dear friend JM!
Hi Shady,
DeleteI'll share this list with dad over the weekend and see if he knows of the other songs. I'm sure he does too.
Today was my office day and I brought it along. This has helped me cope with Post Trump Stress Disorder, between your playlists and classical music. Thank you for a wonderful distraction.
Have a great Thankful Thursday!
Hi, Jessica Marie!
DeleteThanks for reporting in, dear friend! I am eager to find out how many of these golden oldies your dad knows. I'm glad that the infusion of tuneage from the Plan B playlist, along with a healthy dose of classical, helped you cope with PTSD. Shirley we all need a distraction from the daily headlines and nonsensical tweets. :)
Happy TT to you as well, dear friend JM!
Hi Shady,
DeleteI'll share with dad over the weekend. Although he is newly retired, he's keeping busy for now (until he gets a part-time job). Sunday will most likely be the day. I'm curious now too!
Have a great Friday and weekend, dear friend.
I don't know if that was meant as a shout out, but thanks anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm going to have to try to find some back issues of Cash Box at a flea market or something because I haven't heard most of these songs before. But I like them, particularly Evil Eva by the Newbeats.
Among other places, Leslie Gore must have a following in Japan.
Now I have heard of Elvis' The Devil in Disguise. I don't get the sense that the song was much of a challenge for him to sing, but I can't say I minded hearing it again.
Ooh, that's a lusciously lurid illustration on the front of that cheap paperback. I love it! I suspect the plot must be something like Grease. A good girl, a la Olivia Newton-John, takes up with a bad boy, a la John Travolta. I bet Ernie Weatherall, assuming he's still alive, has a good plagiarism case against the makers of the stage musical and movie.
Finally, I think Eva should be found not guilty--by reason of insanity.

Hi, Kirk!
Ha! I had this two-part lawyer series teaser scheduled for these exact dates more than a year in advance, good buddy. I never dreamed they would coincide with events unfolding in the news in which opposing teams of lawyers prepare to do battle.
Thanks for coming to court to witness the much more pressing and important case of Evil Eva as it unfolds right before your eyes. One look at Eva should tell you that she is, as Jimmy Berluti contends, a nice girl from a good family. She means well. Eva was Jimmy's mother's name. So was Patty and Kim.
DELETED SCENE FROM TRIAL:
Up all night on the eve of the trail, Eva falls asleep in the witness chair. Jimmy turns to the judge and declares, "The prostitution rests, your honor."
You are quite a bit younger than Shady, and so it stands to reason that most of these 60s releases are new to your ears. I have the Cash Box and Billboard peak positions listed beneath every song except "Evil Eva," and it's only because that Newbeats single failed to make either chart. It didn't even reach the Bubbling Under chart. I'm glad you like the song so much because it is my favorite by the Nashville trio. I own a pristine copy of that Hickory label single. The song seems to be inspired by the Roy Orbison hit "Oh, Pretty Woman (walkin' down the street)." "Evil Eva" is the B side of that 1966 Newbeats single. On the A side is a cover of the Everly Brothers hit "Bird Dog." Again, neither side reached any of the charts. However in 1969 the Larry Henley led act did make the Bubbling Under survey with a cover of "Thou Shalt Not Steal," the 1965 Dick and DeeDee hit. Hey, good buddy, you don't need to shop around at flea markets searching for back issues of Cash Box because there is a wonderful site online that has all of the Cash Box charts from the 1940s thru the 1990s. I rely on it heavily to provide data for my posts. Here's the link:
https://www.cashboxmagazine.com/archives/60s_files/60s.html
Yes indeed, many U.S. artists are/were big in Japan and other countries, sometimes hotter there than here. I often find 45 rpm record sleeves and album covers printed in Japan, Germany, France, Mexico, Argentina and other countries.
I was thrilled to find that brilliantly remastered version of the Elvis Presley hit "Devil In Disguise." Soon after its release, Elvis went into a slump as The Beatles and other British and American rock bands dominated the music scene. For the next five years Elvis survived on gospel recordings, then mounted his famous late 60s comeback.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that Author Ernie Weatherall also wrote such classics as The Great Gatsby, War and Peace, The Holy Bible and Moby Dick. However the latter, which continues the adventures of Eva and Johnny, is a totally and com-PLETELY different story from Herman Melville's whale tale.
Thanks again for joining the fun, good buddy Kirk!
Hey Shady - Not sure what is happening but I can't listen to any of your music today. Must be a glitch in the system. I do like Suspicion and I am familiar with Jimmy from The Practice. Looking forward to seeing more of them in the future. Have a great rest of your week! Hopefully whatever the issue is, it will work itself out.

I just learned that there was a worldwide YouTube outage this evening. I just checked and all videos are back up and running, so please try again. I'm glad you know and like "Suspicion" without even hearing it. I am also pleased that you are familiar with Jimmy "The Grunt" Berluti, one of my favorite characters from the David E.

I don't think anyone can argue against me when I say, you put together a fabulous defense team to bring your audience a great source of entertainment in the coming year, my friend. Now keep your nose out of trouble so won't have to recruit these folks for legal advice. lol
Hi, Cathy!

Yessum, I'll try to keep my nose out of trouble and avoid washing my hands in dirty water. But if I slip up, it's good to know that the legal dream team of Jimmy, Kim and Patty have my back. :)
I'm glad this set of tunes in their sneak preview got you excited to see and hear more. Stick around for the next mewsical court case in my new Shady's Place series Plan B (Soft).
Thanks again for dropping by, dear friend Cathy. Enjoy the rest of your Thursday and have a safe, happy and restful weekend!
Hi again ... although technically I'm still sleeping ... smiles ... Hope dat Hurricane thing didn't affect you, your family and home too much, friend Shady? Your music clip of Neil Diamond made me look up the movie "The Jazz Singer" ... smiles ... Anyway ... chain reactions of goodness are always good ... smiles. Sending love, cat.
ReplyDeleteHi, cat!
DeleteHappy Saturday and welcome back in, dear friend! How are you and TT doing up there in the frozen north country? Technically you are still sleeping? Does that mean you and your kitty have gone into hibernation until spring? :)
Thanks for asking about the latest hurricane. We had a couple of days of heavy rain bands that left large areas of our property under water, but winds were not high.
I'm happy to know that the Neil Diamond song played by the Plan B legal team prompted you to look up The Jazz Singer, the 1980 musical film that marked Neil's acting debut.
If you'd still like to qualify to Win a Dream Date with Shady and go around the world with me in 80s days, all you need to do is put up the money. :)
