Cool Moon Rising: The Wolfman Returns!

AHHHOOOOO!!!

Oh my my, baby,

this here's your old
friend, Wolfman Jack,

back on the air
at S-P-M-M...

the greatest little

station in the nation!

 I'm filling in as your host while Shady Del Knight

is outta town delivering the keynote address

before the U.N. General Assembly.
(He told me to say that.)

I got stax-o-wax, a ton of tuneage,

a platter party you won't ever forget.

While the rest are talkin'...

the Wolfman's rockin'...

and every time

I spin... you win!

Yes, yes... everybody's talkin' about

the Wolfman's pompatus of love.

I want you to remember what the
old Wolfman says.  It's all according

to how your boogaloo situation

stands, ya understand.

So take it from me

and my friend Curt.

Grab your honey

child and let the

Wolfman drive

you wild!

Now, you pay close

attention to these

songs, baby, or

the Wolfman's
gonna GETCHA!

Mercy me, this little girl breaks down and cries

right in the middle of her song. It's 12 year old

Philly singing sensation Maureen Gray with a

ballad written and produced by the team of

Madara and White. Maureen passed away a

few years ago, ya understand, and "I Don't

Want To Cry" but I do when I hear her voice!

 "I Don't Want To Cry" - Maureen Gray 

 (Nov. 1961, B side of "Come On and Dance") 

That was little Maureen Gray with her sob story
"I Don't Want To Cry," the flip side of her 1961

single "Come On And Dance." Now put your ear

on this one. It's a biggie from 1963 by one of

the best girl groups there ever was, the Jersey

girls who gave us "Will You Love Me Tomor-

row," "Dedicated To The One I Love,"

"Mama Said" and "Soldier Boy." Here are

The Shirelles with-- "Foolish Little Girl!"

 "Foolish Little Girl" - The Shirelles 

 (May 1963, highest chart pos. #4 Hot 100/#6 Cash Box/#9 R&B) 

Mercy sakes alive, the old Wolfman's turning a double play! It's another one by The Shirelles. This song was covered by The Beatles and by former Beatles drummer Pete Best. It was released by The Shirelles at the end of 1960 on the B side of their smash hit "Will You Love Me Tomorrow." Here again are those fabulous girls, The Shirelles, this time talkin' about-- "Boys!"

 "Boys" - The Shirelles 

 (Jan./Feb. 1961, B side of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow") 

Awwwww baby, this is The Wofman, your doctor of love,

and that was the original version of "Boys" waxed

in 1960 by the sensational Shirelles.

When Joey Heatherton wasn't acting she was
dancing, and when she wasn't dancing she
was singing. In 1966, this multi-talented
cutie released the Northern Soul doublesider
"When You Call Me Baby" backed with "Live
and Learn," a collectible waxwork wonder
that's today regarded as a gem of the genre!

 "When You Call Me Baby" - Joey Heatherton 

 (May 1966, uncharted) 

Awww yes yes, you thought Joey was diggin' you... but she was
diggin' me (hehehe!) This is your pal on the radio, Wolfman Jack,
and I got another groovy tune on my turntable.

It's a song made popular by the Beatles. You've

heard the Fab Four sing "Devil in Your Heart."

Now you're gonna hear the American original,

"Devil in His Heart" by the Donays, a girl

group from Detroit led by Yvonne Symington

aka  Yvonne Vernee, who later joined the

Motown group The Elgins. You've got

the Wolfman on your radio and he's

got a devil in his heart! 

 "Devil in His Heart" - The Donays 

 (Aug./Sept. 1962, uncharted) 

Oh my gracious, those were the lovely ladies
from the Motor City, the R&B girl group called
The Donays, with the original of "Devil In His

Heart." Now here are those Mop Tops from

Liverpool who made the song famous with

their cover entitled "Devil in Her Heart."

Mercy sakes alive, they're-- The Beatles!

 "Devil In Her Heart" - The Beatles 

 (from Nov. 1963 album With The Beatles) 

Look up. Is that the moon I see? Can't be.
Looks like the sun to me. It's late...
past the Wolfman's bedtime...
and I gotta get on home.  

The good Lord willing
and the creek don't
rise, we'll do it
all over again
next time.

Now this is your old pal

Wolfman Jack reminding

you to obey your ma and pa,

and I'll be back soon at the

greatest little station in

the nation, S-P-M-M.

I guarantee we gonna rock 'n' roll ourselves

to death, baby. If I'm lyin'... I'm dyin'.

AHHHOOOOO!!!
