Oogum Boogum, 1967
Written by Brenton Wood (as Alfred Smith)
There's always something that's new to you, no matter how much of an expert you are. Despite nearly four decades of listening and learning about music, I had never heard of Wood until he died, yesterday. Too bad. An urgent, falsetto soul vocal makes this silly song ("When you wear your bell bottom pants / I just stand there in a trance") more than a novelty, despite the equally silly title. After some funky piano and drum chords, Wood hits us with that out of sight vocal. Go on with your bad self!
