Found 'em


 

 
I have my music wish list that I keep and have been slowly checking off cd’s when I find them. Most of them are out of print and take time finding.  But patience has paid off as I finally found 3 of them. 

Shirley Ellis, Devil Doll and The Pierces.  I have been looking for Shirley Ellis for 2 years.  She was finally found and has been added to my collection.  If you remember the Name Game song then you have heard Shirley Ellis.  She deserves a lot more credit for her career than just than one song.  She has an amazing voice and is talented beyond The Name Game song.   Devil Doll and The Pierces were discovered by listening to Pandora.   Devil Doll has a sultry smokey bluesy voice.  She’s  country/rockabilly and it was love at first listen.  Of course, her music was out of print as well.  But patience is a virtue and I finally found her on Amoeba records website and it was mine.  Now to find her other one.  The Pierces was discovered from Pandora as well.  Like Devil Doll it was love at first listen.  Upon some research they too were out of print, but I finally found them.  It didn’t take me as long to find Devil Doll and The Pierces like it did Shirley Ellis.  But it did take awhile.  I still bring out my list once in awhile to see what I can find.   I know one day I will have them all, but then again my list does keep growing.  In the meantime, I have very happy ears.
