I don't have the singer listed in my database, so I came back here where I knew I'd find the info. Don't ever think I told you this, Bob, but I'm pretty sure I have a picture sleeve 45 of lounge music by Bob Newkirk!Stu Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925848592170943032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-33658170680246345812011-04-14T18:56:00.021-05:002011-04-14T18:56:00.021-05:00I was so happy to get to listen to your posting re...I was so happy to get to listen to your posting re Bob Newkirk. Back in the 50s-60s, I worked for the agency that was promoting him. He was a very handsome, personable young man. I have one of his 45's on the Clinton label: "Once Again" backed with "The Anniversary Song." Thank you!E.

Clinton ...Thanks for the flashback to my childhood. Clinton records was the record label of Jack Clinton Hudgins (I may have spelled the last name wrong, the last time I saw Jack was the early 70s). My father had made some small investment in the label and his return was tons of 45s. I recall my father saying cynically at some time in the 60s that they couldn't give the records away in bars.<br /><br />I remember records by Bob Newkirk and Ben Michaels. I preferred "Apple Pie" (another Ben Michaels 45) to "Apple Pie Dance". I contributed the 45s of "Apple Pie" and "Apple Pie Dance" to Dr. Demento some time in the early 70s. He told me he had another 45 by Ben Michaels called "I'm Better than the Beatles". (Btw, Michael K. Benton, likely listed as the composer of "Apple Pie Dance", was an alter ego of Ben Michaels).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-69942356568381103302009-10-12T18:50:56.510-05:002009-10-12T18:50:56.510-05:00i found a different record on the Clinton Records ...i found a different record on the Clinton Records label.
