Regals - Got the Water Boiling

[@stevenkiviat3201]

RIP singer Diz Russell who was in the Regals and later with Sonny Til & the Orioles and the Legendary Orioles.

This song was the inspiration for the background and arrangement for the Cadillacs' Speedoo.

Can definitely hear a bit of Speedo there and I've Got My Mojo Working as well (imo)

@@angied8919 "The record was a strong seller in regional markets, including Washington. But its melody and catchy rhythms became the basis for a more popular recording the following year, “Speedoo,” by a rival vocal group, the Cadillacs. Millie Russell said that in later decades, she was able to claim royalties from “Speedoo,” a signature doo-wop hit and oldies radio staple, on Mr. Russell’s behalf."

GREAT VERSION!!

I have this superb track on a Japanese LP - Atlantic Do Wap Special (Sic) and believe me it sounds better than this! But Hey, I'm not criticizing, this sounds great too but you know the Japanese when it comes to records!! By the way you may not know that this was covered here in the UK in 1960 by Tommy Bruce and The Bruisers on the flip side of their No3 hit "Ain't Misbehaving". Not a bad version actually!
