This weekend i will be doing a tribute to Bert Berns on my radio show. I thought it would be good to share one of the songs that I discovered on the new compilation "Sloopy Music 2 Presents the Songs of Bert Berns" as my Tweet Song of the Week.

This song is The Drifters doing "I Don't Want To Go On Without You" written by Bert Berns and Jerry Wexler in 1964.

One of the better Stereo Mixes that I've heard from the time.

Photobucket

The Tweet song of the week for this week is "Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup)" by Mick Jagger. This version was produced by John Lennon and first came to me when May Pang shared with us in 2007.

The backing musicians were the Hollywood Vampires, which was a rotating cast of people hanging out in LA. This song features Danny Kortchmar and Jimmy Ed Davis on guitar, Al Kooper on keyboards, Jack Bruce on bass, Jim Keltner on drums, and backing vocals by "original Hollywood Vampire,” Harry Nilsson.

Tweet Song of the Week: Beware Of Darkness from the demos George Harrison cut for Phil Spector for "All Things Must Pass". This year its the 40th anniversary of "All Things Must Pass" so we figured we'd feature George this week.
