Terrific stories in this video interview about good times and bad, but no sex, no drugs! I think you'll enjoy this and hope you'll share it with friends!

That song was recorded originally by Johnny Paycheck and George Jones recorded "IF My Heart Had Windows," both written by Gary. Perhaps collaborated with Jerry Williams (Swamp Dog). He also cut a 45, not sure if it was on Legrand on the subject of taking a trip to the moon. Unfortunately I only remember a snip of the lyric, something about a rocket ship. This was written in the early sixties a tad before space travel. <BR/><BR/>Bert Burns who churned out hits for Freddie Scott, the girl groups and other contemporaries wrote a song that Gary recorded, some of the lyrics still whirl around in my brain, "I'm coming back, down the track, clickety clack..." but it wasn't the right chemistry. I believe the name of it was, "I Want You Back." But it was evidently the wrong track!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11910289.post-1133025011497165392005-11-26T11:10:00.000-06:002005-11-26T11:10:00.000-06:00Frank Guida was Gary's nemisis, the Colonel Parker...Frank Guida was Gary's nemisis, the Colonel Parker that didn't allow him to make music like Dedication. Gary is Gary Anderson who wrote Don't Take She's All I Got, a country tune that hit the charts and several others, If My Heart Had Windows, recorded by Johhnny Paycheck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11910289.post-1127301982972181092005-09-21T06:26:00.000-05:002005-09-21T06:26:00.000-05:00LeGrand's owner Frankie Guida was the one who 'twe...LeGrand's owner Frankie Guida was the one who 'tweaked' the tape recorder to give many LeGrand 45's that distinctive sound. He was no engineer, but tweaked anyway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
