| Lyn Cornell Moanin' N A Snapshot in Time Ace Records 2022 Taken from this new compilation capturing some tracks of the UK music scene from 1960-1963 right before the Beatles took off. Lyn Cornell was from Liverpool and started out with the Vernon Girls. This was recorded for the Decca label in 1961. Jon Hendricks wrote the lyrics and added them to an existing Bobby Timmons melody. I happened to play Lyn Cornell last week, as well. This completes a Bobby Timmons trifecta of sorts. |

| Jerry Lee Lewis Memphis Beat Memphis Beat Smash 1966 RIP Jerry Lee Lewis who just passed away at age 87. A song stylist and performer of the highest order. Probably best not to be in his inner circle, however. This is one of my favorite songs about Memphis. Written by Memphis songwriters Milton Addington, Allen Reynolds, and Dickey Lee. Make no mistake about it, though. No matter who wrote songs he recorded, he made them Jerry Lee Lewis songs. |
