Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the great pleasures of my lifelong music collecting (if I may be so bold<\/em>) odyssey, is the thrill of discovering a record that is both groovy, and manages to carry with it an interesting story.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection is just such a disc.<\/p>\n

A while back, I was wandering around the vinyl depositories of the interwebs and happened upon the record you see before you today.<\/p>\n

The names Jo Ann and Troy<\/strong> meant nothing to me, but as soon as I saw that they were covering one of my favorite Bo Diddley<\/strong> songs, my curiosity was piqued.<\/p>\n

I threw down a couple of bucks, took a chance and was very happy indeed when I finally put the needle on the record.<\/p>\n

The Jo Ann and Troy version of \u2018Who Do You Love\u2019 was a slamming, uptempo raver with some very tasty guitar and some crazy duet action between the singers.<\/p>\n

What blew my mind, was when I started doing some digging and discovered that Jo Ann and Troy were not only white, but had roots in the rockabilly\/country side of things.<\/p>\n

Jo Ann was Jo Ann Campbell,<\/strong> who had herself quite a little career as a rocker\/rockabilly in the late 50s and early 60s, her biggest hit being the answer record \u2018I\u2019m the Girl From Wolverton Mountain\u2019 in 1961. Campbell also appeared in a few rock\u2019n\u2019roll movies.<\/p>\n

Troy was Troy Seals<\/strong>, cousin to Jim and Dan Seals<\/strong> (of Seals & Crofts<\/strong> and the Southwest F.O.B.<\/strong>) was a guitarist, and at the time Campbell\u2019s husband.<\/p>\n

They recorded over a dozen tracks in 1964 for Atlantic in an R&B\/soul style, with the A-side of \u2018Who Do You Love\u2019, \u2018I Found a Love, Oh What a Love\u2019 making a minor hit at the end of 1964.<\/p>\n

The record was successful enough that the duo became regulars on \u2018Where the Action is\u2019 in 1965.<\/p>\n

They also recorded a fantastic version of the Ashford\/Simpson\/Armstead<\/strong> tune, \u2018Same Old Feeling\u2019.<\/p>\n

A few years later, Seals went on to play guitar in the Dapps<\/strong>, recording with none other than James Brown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Troy Seals later had a very successful career as a country songwriter, penning hits for Ronnie Milsap<\/strong> (\u2018Lost In the Fifties Tonight\u2019) and George Jones<\/strong> (\u2018Who\u2019s Gonna Fill Their Shoes\u2019) among others.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the tune, and I\u2019ll see you on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
