(Bocky & The Visions - Sounding a bit like James Brown on Steroids)
In anticipation of the weekend, I thought I would add this somewhat frantic entry by Cleveland's own Bocky & The Visions. Released in 1964, I Go Crazy was the James Brown track, only this version pre-dates crack by about 30 years. It is so turbo-charged and over-the-top that, as a 14 year old, it answered just about every one of my hormone imbalances.
Sadly, it didn't chart all that well (it was the year The Beatles and the entire British Invasion dominated the charts) and the few other singles they issued didn't fare much better. But if they released nothing else, this track alone would gain them a toehold on immortality.
This track might go well with the first cup of Saturday Morning coffee . . . just sayin' . .
