The single debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 on August 7, 1961, and remained for twelve weeks, peaking at # 7[3]. Mann's version did not chart in the UK, though a cover version by the Viscounts reached # 21 there in September, 1961, and another version by Showaddywaddy charted at # 37 in August, 1982. "Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" is a Doo-wop style hit song from 1961 co-written (with Gerry Goffin) and recorded by Barry Mann. He was backed up by The Halos, who had previously backed up Curtis Lee on the song "Pretty Little Angel Eyes". The song was originally released as a single on the ABC-Paramount label (10237). In this song, Mann sings about the frequent use of nonsense lyrics in Doo-Wop music, and how his girl fell in love with him after listening to several of such songs. Examples of the type of song referred to include the Marcels' version of "Blue Moon" (in which they sing "Bomp bomp ba bomp, ba bomp ba bomp bomp" and "dip-de-dip-de-dip") and the Edsels' "Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong", both of which charted earlier the same year. The song inspired the title of a music magazine, called "Who Put the Bomp". The song fits into the category of "self-referential" songs. Rock songs are often about rock (We're gonna rock around the clock), reggae songs about reggae, rap songs about rap, etc. In this particular song that aspect is accentuated by the fact that Mann is a songwriter singing about songwriters. It is also an ironic, lightly self-mocking song. This is a .... + Informações

I first heard about this song when I read one of those books about Elvis' recording sessions (I don't remember the title). Elvis was going to record this song (this was during his '69 Memphis sessions), but when he saw his hero, Roy Hamilton (he was set to record a couple songs for Chip Moman's AGP label), he gave it to him. www.youtube.com This recording was made by the writer.... + Informações

Since the advent of rock and roll, we have been blessed by the talents of so many people, one shouldn't overlook the contributions of the songwriters. When you thumb through the music, the names of Leiber-Stoller, Goffin-King, Pomus-Shuman, Holland-Dozier-Holland, and others will be repeated time after time as the authors of what you are hearing. One of the best songwriting teams was that of Barry Mann and his partner and wife Cynthia Weill. They penned such notable songs as "On Broadway" for The Drifters, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and "Soul and Inspiration" for the Righteous Brothers, and many others One of Barry's first songs was "Who Put The Bomp" written with Gerry Goffin and sung by Barry himself with an assist from The Halos, and it went all the way to #7 in August of 1961.. + Informações

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Okeh 7260-B) Out of Chicago, this majestic 1966 recording by Mr. Jackson has got to be one of, if not THEE most soulful, heartwrenching vocal performance he ever recorded. While the tune had been recorded horribly by Bobby Rydell on Capritol and a decent version was issued by Lenny Welch on Kapp, Walter's is the version that had to have put a smile on the faces of the songs writers, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil. With it being such a powerful recording, it's a wonder why it was relegated to the B-side of 'A Corner in The Sun' and not issued as a separate A-side... + Informações
