Joey Dee - Peppermint Twist Chronicles

Oct 25

Episode Summary

Joey Dee and the Starliters were one of the biggest bands of the early 1960s. They had a massive hit in 1962 with the song "The Peppermint Twist", which captured the international frenzy of the twist dance craze. Joey relives that era with me and in his new book, "The Peppermint Twist Chronicles". His stories are amazing, including about all his famous band members such as Jimi Hendrix, Ronnie Spector (The Ronettes) and Felix Cavaliere (The Rascals).

Episode Notes

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Always do the right thing.

Robert’s featured song in this episode is his reimagined version of the iconic Dobie Gray hit, “The ‘In’ Crowd”, from PGS 7 by Robert’s band, Project Grand Slam. He chose this song because Joey was definitely part of the In Crowd back in the day.
