The record

Pop radio supplies most of the program -- 'Ode To Billie Joe,' 'Sunny,' 'Alfie,' 'I Dig Rock And Roll Music' -- and Willis Jackson's tenor rides over Carl Wilson's organ. Haywood Henry's baritone and Wilbur Bascomb Sr.'s trumpet put two more horns beside it, with Wally Richardson on guitar and Lawrence Wrice on drums. Prestige, 1968, Cal Lampley producing.
