You can hear him in Clyde McFadder, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, and a host of others who don’t even know they’re trying to sing like Bill Kinney, who try to sing like Clyde McFadder, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, etc. etc., and so it goes, down the lines of history.” Chris Powell & The Blue Flames – I Come From Jamaica “This song’s from the early 50’s and it’s one of the first American records I know to be influenced by the rhythms coming out of Jamaica.” Lloyd Clark – Japanese Girl Cannon’s Jug Stompers – Going to Germany Warren Smith – Ubangi Stomp Hank Thompson – Rockin in the Congo “A lot of the rockabilly and country guys were fascinated with this part of the world.” Maxine Sullivan – Loch Lomond “…along with her husband John Kirby, swinging the traditional song.” The Clancy Brothers -- The Irish Rover “This song…is an old songs. There’s lots of variant versions of it, but these are the guys I first heard singing it. I heard it live; you’re gonna have to hear it on a record.” Ricky Nelson – Travelin’ Man Josh White – I Don’t Intend to Die in Egyptland Dean Martin – Arrivederci Roma “Italy is shaped like a boot, and one guy I get a boot out of is Dean Martin. He was the smoothest singer of the 50’s and 60’s; Elvis Presley wanted to be him, as did Frank Sinatra, for two very different reasons. Here’s Deano…and I call him Deano.” Wreckless Eric – Whole Wide World Other People and Players Sid Nathan (clip about a trip he took to Europe) Alfred Wegener Brian Epstein George Martin Bob Wooler ‘DJ of The Cavern Club’ “I can only hope I can be as influential as a disc jockey as Bob Wooler was.” The Beatles Chano Pozo Clyde McFadder Jackie Wilson Elvis Presley Max Roach Clifford Brown Derek Morgan Derek and Lloyd Yoko Ono (song clip in background) Toshi Ichiyanagi Walter Scott Robert Louis Stevenson Arthur Conan Doyle Sean Connery Annie Lennox John Hannah Robert Burns Loch Ness Monster Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson John Huston John Ford Leif Erickson Marco Polo Christopher Columbus Amerigo Vespucci Vasco De Gama Vasco Balboa Cortez Fernando Desoto Places Italy The Congo Pangaea “a super-continent…and I’m not makin that word up.” Texas The River Mersey Liverpool United Kingdom Cavern Club The North End Music Store Capistrano Albania Philadelphia Jamaica Tokyo London Carnegie Hall India Italy Spain Memphis Ubangi River The Republic of Congo The Central African Republic The Sudan Uganda Rwanda Burundi Tanzania Zambia Angola The Atlantic Ocean Memphis, TN Scotland Loch Ness “no relation to Elliot” Ireland Dublin New Bedford, MA County Cork County Galway North America China W.
