(387) JOHNNY RIVERS STARS ON "SWINGING SHINDIG" ALBUM

The word "Shindig" came into common use as slang to mean...a rock and roll event...a jam...a party... and since titles are not copyrightable...


Johnny Rivers appeared on the television show but I don't think this album came out of the show.

Check out our previous posts about Johnny and go to his web site by clicking on the title above!



Here you get the whole Shindig segment including an ad for zit busters ! (Eeeewwe!) Right after the zits came Johnny playing "Maybellene" and "Memphis," both cover-tunes of the songs written by Chuck Berry. We're struck by the high energy of the shows.
