MISC NOTES:

DON AND THE GOODTIMES:

The early fall months of 1964 saw Oregonians becoming acquainted with a rock band known as Don and The Goodtimes. Founded some nine months earlier and originally dubbed simply The Goodtimes, the young group gained initial notoriety as house band for The Chase, a teenage nightclub in the Portland suburb of Milwaukee. As engendered by a Seattle band, The Counts, "Turn On Song" (Sea Crest 6003) was a smoothly polished, jazz-oriented number featuring  subtle, but strong and flowing organ chording overlaid by distinctive trumpet-sax riffs  For Don and The Goodtimes, as the band came to be called with the record's release, the melody was the same, but there similarities ended. Gone was the smoothness and any inkling of jazz precision. Replacing subtle perfection was coarseness and raw power. As Goodtimes sax man Don McKinney put it, "(Musically) we really didn't know what we were doing, so our version came out pretty funky." Funky? Maybe, but distinctive enough to bypass Northwest regional release and jump straight to New York's Wand record label where not long before another Portland group, The Kingsmen, had made their mark with a song titled  "Louie, Louie." Backed by the straight-ahead instrumentality of "Make It", "Turn On" wasn't destined to sell a million copies, but it did prove to be the first step in breaking Don and The Goodtimes out of their Portland environs. Exposure southward through their home state soon turned northward to the Puget Sound region of Washington where adoption of a "top hat and tails" image of good living, plus wild showmanship ala Paul Revere and The Raiders soon made Don and The Goodtimes a staple within the thriving Northwest teen dance scene. Points beyond now beckoned. [A variation of the preceding article originally appeared in NORTHWEST DISC-COVERIES & SOUND REPORT  Volume 4 #8 October, 1979.

MISC NOTES:

Don & The Goodtimes organist Don Galucci was an original member of The Kingsmen. When that band's recording of Louie, Louie went national in l963 (Wand #143) the group went "on the road." Galucci, still in high school, could not go with them.

Not long after, in 1964,  Galucci and others formed Don & The Goodtimes.  Their first recording, a rendition of  "Turn On Song " by Seattle's Counts (Sea Crest #6003) bypassed  local release and  went directly onto New York's Wand  records (Wand #165).

The Goodtimes' follow up to "Turn On" was  "There's Something On Your Mind" (Wand #184) which was backed by "Straight Scepter" a reply song to The Kingsmen's "Bent Sceptor" (Wand #150). The Sceptor-themed tunes were likely  fueled by the fact that a sister label to Wand was Sceptor Records.

[caption id="attachment_49534" align="aligncenter" width="604"] 1966 Holland single (Scepter Records / Negram HS 1007) picture sleeve.[/caption]

MISC NOTES:

"The Krunch" was commissioned as a jingle for a corporate potato-chip ad campaign. This was the sole Kingsmen 45 to be issued in the U.S. with a picture sleeve. Kingsmen personnel were  in transition during this period, so front sleeve musicians not  the same as those shown on back sleeve.

NOTE:  "The Krunnch" picture sleeve (front photo only), has been reproduced as an, after-market "Louie Louie" picture sleeve:   The KINGSMEN  featuring the original recording of the International Hit, "LOUIE LOUIE".
