The record charted in Switzerland, Belgium, and France, where it reached a peak position of number 11. The band released their debut studio album, Caravan Palace, on the Wagram label in October 2008. The band's influences include Django Reinhardt, Vitalic, Lionel Hampton, and Daft Punk. I know Caravan Palace has always used samples and inspiration from actual 1920s swing songs, but I never knew the exact ones. I wanted to share with you all some 1920s songs I found that I recognized from a few Caravan Palace songs. It’s fun being the boss sometimes.Caravan Palace【 4 albums 47 lyrics 】 Caravan Palace is a French electro swing band based in Paris. Hey all I hope everyone is having a great day. They already hated my tastes, so why not flex. I ran my college station and forced even the most die-hard southern rock DJ’s to spin it. It should have been a smash here (it peaked at #6 in The UK) and sounded spectacular on the air. Her first album for him was great, and the lead single ‘It’s In His Kiss’, even greater and a real chance for her to flex the higher range potential of that voice. McCoy, Van REC: Barbara Lewis Cilla Black Petula Clark Billy Preston. For once, Clive Davis seemed to be in step with what I’d have done if I were running the label, make Linda Lewis a star in The US. Berlin, Irving REC: Ethel Merman & Ray Middleton Betty Hutton & Howard Keel.
Unfortunately, I was right.īy 1975, she’d left Raft and Reprise for Arista. I was well pleased to get a US promo later that fall, but had no hopes I’d ever hear it on American radio, despite Reprise releasing it twice. She looked super hot on TOP OF THE POPS, like an English Kim Weston or Tammi Terrell, but with a voice much closer to Minnie Riperton. Or maybe just because it sounded so good over the air, like in my case, coming out of a 4″ x 6″ green transistor radio (that era’s version of a hand held device), permanently borrowed off my cousin. If you were there you’d know, it was played relentlessly for weeks and weeks, almost like Radio 1 wanted to make it sell. Linda Lewis had a mid-chart UK hit with ‘Rock A Doodle Doo’ during the summer of ’73 (#15).

Within a few years though, producer Van McCoy got tarnished with the disco curse, simply for having too big of a hit, ‘The Hustle’. The vocalist, Zo Colotis, sings with a passion that really ties the song together, making it just pure, ear-pleasing fun. Their version of Black Betty turns the song into a club-ready track with tons of energy and appeal. For me, just knowing a Sussex single was spinning on some 16″ industrial Gates radio station turntable made it sound that much better. Caravan Palace puts their own unique twist on a classic African-American work song. Logically both the Top 40′s and the RnB locals were playing it, but so too were the college stations.
Seemed like no time passed before the record was literally all over the air.
Turns out it’s a one listen song, simple. Given I’d previously owned only Dennis Coffey and Bill Withers records on Sussex, I assumed the best when this came along. Some sources claim it is one of Lead Bellys many adaptations of earlier folk material in this case an 18th-century marching cadence about a flintlock. Listen: 5-10-15-20 (25-30 Years Of Love) / The Presidents ' Black Betty ' (Roud 11668) is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him.
