LIVE! ’64 LP: JOHNNY RIVERS AT THE WHISKY A GO-GO

 

 

Johnny Rivers At The Whisky À Go-Go

ABOUT THIS ALBUM

 

*****

 

Johnny Rivers at the Whisky à Go Go (shown as “At Whisky-A-Go-Go” on the original label) is a live album and is the debut album from American rock and roll singer, songwriter and guitarist Johnny Rivers.

The album was released in February 1964, just as The Beatles and the British music invasion was getting into full swing. Rivers was asked to open the Whisky a Go Go nightclub in Los Angeles starting January 15, 1964 and during that run he recorded the album. With the help of producer Lou Adler, Johnny helped introduce the “Go Go sound” to rock and roll. The album reached #13 on Billboard’s Pop Albums chart, (#12 on the Billboard 200) and became Johnny’s first gold album. The album also gave Rivers his very first big hit, a cover version of Chuck Berry‘s 1959 hit “Memphis“. Rivers’s version went to #2 on Billboard’s Pop Singles chart in the summer of 1964, and became his first gold single.

Johnny Rivers at the Whisky à Go Go would be the first of five albums that Rivers would record live at the nightclub.

DETROIT RADIO SPOTS: ARMOUR CLASSIC HOT DOGS!

 

 

ARMOUR MEAT PACKING CO. * 1980s * ARMOUR CLASSIC HOT DOGS

 

Armour and Company was an American company and was one of the five leading firms in the meat packing industry. It was founded in Chicago, in 1867, by the Armour brothers led by Philip Danforth Armour. By 1880, the company had become Chicago’s most important business and had helped make Chicago and its Union Stock Yards the center of America’s meatpacking industry. During the same period, its facility in Omaha, Nebraska, boomed, as well, making the city’s meatpacking industry the largest in the nation by 1959.

Presently, the Armour food brands are split between refrigerated meat (Armour, owned by Smithfield Foods) and canned shelf-stable meat products (Armour Star, owned by Pinnacle Foods).
