The Dave Pell Singers : Ma-Nah-Ma-Nah
Ma-Nah-Ma-Nah
acmem77cd

Like El's forthcoming Four King Cousins release, the Dave Pell Singers album is highly prized, top class lounge / harmony sunshine pop. What the Japanese call Soft Rock. Originally issued in 1969, It’s many highlights include a breezy version of Piero Umiliani's "Mah-Na, Mah-Na" and a cool, sensuous performance of the title tune from the controversial musical, "Oh,Calcutta" Pell’s "Oh Calcutta" has featured already to great acclaim on the very comprehensive "Sound Gallery" compilation of a decade ago.

With this release Dave Pell can now take his rightful place amongst the giants of lounge; Andy Williams, Roy Budd, Dudley Moore, Tony Hatch. Dave Pell's behind-the-scenes career may be more familiar to space age pop fans than his own. accomplishments as a performer. Head of A & R at United Artists and Liberty Records in the sixties. Pell produced well-known albums by Martin Denny, The Ventures, Shirley Bassey and Bobby Vee.
