If you want "real" singing and a nice collection of some of the best (and
cheesiest thrown in for good measure) acts of the 60's I highly recommend
the entire Hullaballoo series on DVD, so real you'll hear Sam of Sam the
Sham & The Pharoahs barely make some of his vocal notes... chock full of
archival pieces that will certainly make for great Sat. nite entertainment
(check out those absolutely cool daddy o' Milk commercials with Bobby
Sherman...!)
Cheers
Miguel
