Thanks, Rick, for posting this!

April 3!

Hi fans,

The man himself, Jeff Barry, has a birthday coming up in just a couple of days - April 3rd to be exact! If you would like to post birthday greetings for him, please head on over to the Jeff Barry fan site message board (that link will take you directly to the birthday thread, where you can add your wishes to those already up there). Jeff's hitting a milestone this year, so, if you love his music (and who doesn't?), then please take a few moments of your time to wish him a happy.

By the way, my goal is to get Jeff inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before his next birthday - this is an honor he truly deserves. (Click HERE to see why.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEFF!!!

Treasure Island Oldies: Andy Kim - Voice Your Choice

Back in the late 60s, Jeff Barry and Andy Kim joined forces to write and record many of the songs we love today - including "Sugar, Sugar," which was a #1 hit for Ron Dante and The Archies. This week, Michael Godin from Treasure Island Oldies is spotlighting Andy Kim with his Voice Your Choice feature. Just click on the link below for the details.

Treasure Island Oldies: Andy Kim - Song of the Week

Hi music fans,

The Song of the Week on Michael Godin's Treasure Island Oldies for the week beginning August 6, 2007 is Andy Kim's wonderful version of "Baby, I Love You." Although this song, written by Jeff Barry with Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector, was originally recorded by The Ronettes, who had a Top Forty hit with it, there are many folks who consider Andy's the definitive version - and you can count me among them! Please click on the link below to visit the Treasure Island Oldies blog and to view a cool video of Andy performing this classic.
