This is my blog where I write about music, jewelry, and myself. Vaudeville, burlesque, blues, jazz, songs about baltimore, novelties, and whatever else I feel like posting. Mostly from my own LPs and 78s. Subscribe via any of the methods in the right-hand column. Please do not link directly to the mp3 files.

The best known Caravelles track, "You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry," can be found on the Rhino comp Best of the Girl Groups Vol. 2. It has a completely different sound than the other songs on the Rhino girl group collections.
The Caravelles were a duet of London office workers with breathy voices. In the early 60s they had one hit with "You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry." Although they never really had any other hits, apparently one of the original members still performs with a new partner as The Caravelles to this day.
They released nine 45rpm singles, but this CD from Belgium has 25 tracks.
Some of their other jams that I've found are pretty good.. some are awful, but "Don't Blow Your Cool" is my favorite. It's probably the Glockenspiel.
