When I first saw this cover artwork for Ross Mitchell, His Band And Singers, I knew I wanted to talk about him. Just looking at that cover makes me laugh!
And seriously, who names their album Sweet Beat????!!??
So anyway, he's been in music since he was 15, leaving school behind to join The Nat Allan Band as a drummer. He recorded for EMI and Vogue recording in various groups (The Nocturnes, The Track, Crème Caramel, etc) and eventually formed Ross Mitchell, His Band And Singers.
They mostly cover songs into dance-room numbers. For instance, "Love Potion No 9" was changed to Cha Cha Cha.
There's so many good numbers on this record, but I think I'm going to stick to Cole Porter's "It's All Right With Me" was changed to a Quickstep dance song.
If you're into ballroom dancing, the good news is that checking his concert appearances, he's very busy throughout 2008. Unfortunately, they all look like very fancy-pants events.
As a special bonus, I'm including Tom Waits' crazy version of "It's All Right With Me".
