THIS SONG BY THE LEFT BANKE WENT TO # 15 IN 1967. LYRICS: I had a date with a pretty ballerina Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me Was I surprised, yeah? Was I surprised, no not at all I called her yesterday it should have been tomorrow I could not keep the joy that was inside I begged for her to tell me If she really loved me Somewhere a mountain is moving I'm afraid it's moving without me (refrain) (Instrumental violins) La la la laaaaaaaaa la I had a date with a pretty ballerina Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me Was I surprised, yeah? Was I surprised, no not at all And when i wake on a dreary Sunday morning I open up my eyes to find there's rain and something strange within says go ahead and find her just close your eyes yeah Just close your eyes and she'll be there She'll be there She'll be there. + Informações

I found this at www.rodeode.com and here's what it said about the video: Super rare clip of the short-lived baroque rock group, The Left Banke, singing Walk Away Rene. In typical mid-60s fashion, the group is singing in the middle of nowhere, no electrical cords, no microphones, but plenty of screaming fans. This clip has a stereo enhanced version of the song, from the equally scarce CD, There's Gonna Be A Storm. 2:47, 2.5 mb, October 1966. + Informações

THIS IS FROM THE GROUP THAT BROUGHT YOU "WALK AWAY RENEE" AND "PRETTY BALLERINA". LYRICS: I've been telling lines I never knew all to keep that girl away from you but she may call you up tonight then what could I say that would sound right Thoughts that raised my mind just pushed aside all the chances there that we once had but she may call you up tonight then what could I say that would sound right And when I'm crying yes I know my mind is flying to a place where there's no trying but she may call you up tonight I've been telling lines I never knew all to keep that girl away from you but she may call you up tonight then what could I say that would sound right but she may call you up tonight then what could I say that would sound right then what could I say that would sound right. + Informações

The A-side of The Left Banke's November 1969 single. This recording probably only features Steve Martin Caro and Michael Brown with producer Tom Kaye's band. Written by Brown/Martin. This song is very hard to find now (especially in the UK) as all albums it was available on are now deleted.

NO VIDEO! Belongs to playlist "Own vinyl uploads". "Left Banke" is now really sure. Of this single version no other upload found on YouTube and the word wide web. Single: Dec 1966 - Pretty Ballerina / Lazy Day (Smash 2074). Of the band "Left Banke" I have a CD. The name of the CD is: "There's Gonna Be A Storm". On this CD the title "Pretty Ballerina" is to find in stereo, but it is not exactly the same version in comparison with my upload in mono. Leider ist der Bass etwas verzerrt. Das muss aber bereits auf der Single so gewesen sein. One picture (320x180): unknown.. + Informações

"The Left Banke has its origins in a classically trained violinist named Harry Lookofsky who ran a small recording studio in New York City. His son, Michael, a production assistant at the studio and a trained musician in his own right, sat in with some of the session players. Michael, who soon changed his name to Brown, made friends with bassist Tom Finn, drummer George Cameron, and singer Steve Martin Caro in 1965 and under his father's management, became The Left Banke. Michael Brown was only 16 when he wrote the group's signature tune, "Walk Away, Renee," a song penned to Tom Finn's then-girlfriend Renee Fladen. Reportedly, Brown was so smitten with Renee that he would physically become ill and couldn't play if she was in the room. "Pretty Ballerina" and "She May Call You Up Tonight" were also written about her. "Walk Away Renee" made it up to number 2 on the Top 40 charts by October 1966 (bested only by The Monkees' "Last Train to Clarksville") and "Pretty Ballerina" reached as high as number 15 in early 1967. The group toured extensively to support the resultant album but soon after, Michael Brown did a very Brian Wilson-ish thing, deciding to stop touring and become a full-time studio musician. A replacement keyboard player (Emmett Lake) was hired and he hit the road with the band. But Brown's decision caused ill-will within the band and the rift soon became full-blown turmoil. And for a short time, in essence, there were actually two Left Banke groups, as Michael .... + Informações

The Left Banke's version of Men Are Building Sand. This recording probably features Michael Brown (keyboards), Bert Sommer (vocals/maybe guitar) and Michael McKean (guitar) as it was made in early 1967 when Michael Brown split from the other members of The Left Banke to form another Left Banke. Written by Brown/Sommer. The song was later recorded by the band Montage who Brown produced, wrote and played keyboards for. This song is very hard to find now (especially in the UK) as all albums it was available on are now deleted. Hopefully a comprehensive box-set of rarities and solo material will one day be produced.. + Informações
