Thread Name: 'The Pair Extraordinaire' - know 'em?
Subject: RE: 'The Pair Extraordinaire' - know 'em?
My father saw them in San Francisco in the mid sixties. We are from eastern Canada. He bought an album, "In-Citement", brought it home and it quickly became the family favorite. We played it so much that it warped and we had to put a quarter on the needle arm to keep it from skipping. I transferred it to cassette in the Eighties and then with the advent of Ebay, I have been able to acquire all the albums, burn them to discs, and distribute them to my sisters, nieces and nephews, and the great nieces and nephews. My father died in 1969, but left a world of joyous song for his descendants. At any family gathering, someone will hum the opening notes of a Pair song and everyone from the age of 5-65 will sing the whole song at the top of their lungs. The Pair are the best, and I wish we had more than just 5 albums. Check them out.
Thet also performed on Merv Griffin frequently.
