Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

You bet a Tut, I'll raise you camel!


Patti and i would wait all week just to see Gilda smile.

I remember the Tut exhibit in New York like it was yesterday. I remember going to see it, and being underwhelmed as well, lolz.

The whole city was caught up in it. Like Roseanne Roseannadanna said: 'Did you know Tut? Who is this Tut? Did you know that Tut spelled backwards is Tut?'

Steve Martin satirized it best though. Gilda was a prize, but the Tut parody award goes to Steve.
 
I just read that Benny Mardones died last year from Parkinson's; I found this video, it is a good watch, tells the story of the song. Really nice interview. A lovely guy, make sure to watch it through to the end, it is a surprise:

 
I have always liked this song.

Video sucks, great song...difficult to sing as well. One of the all-time great pop vocals ever.

I agree, it has terrible video quality. I listened to this one 'cause I had a vague memory of the song, and no memory of Benny Mardones. Difficult to sing. I had difficulty with the easy ones to sing. Not a musician any more. Sigh.
 
Brandi Carlile The Story


Hoo-whee, what a song. Recently discovered that she's a local Seattle area artist. Who knew we were so fortunate?
