| Jody Reynolds - Endless Sleep |
 |
Jody Reynolds had a million-seller in 1958
with "Endless Sleep." The single became a
forerunner of death rock classics such as
"Tell Laura I Love Her" from Ray Peterson and
"Teen Angel" by Mark Dinning. Reynolds
charted for the last time that same year with
a number titled "Fire of Love." Despite the
lack of a string of chart successes, his one
big seller was enough to ensure Reynolds'
membership in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame,
which inducted him in 1999. In conjunction
with the honor, Tru Gems Records issued a
double-CD set of Reynolds' recordings,
featuring guest performances by Bobbie
Gentry, Jimmy Bryant, and others. Reynolds
was born in Colorado in 1932, but he was
raised in Oklahoma. He learned how to play
guitar during his early teen years, when he
gravitated to the Western swing sounds of
Hank Thompson, Bob Wills, and Eddy Arnold. In
1952, he founded a group called the Storms.
Within three years, he was in Texas, where he
played rockabilly, caught Roy Orbison's live
act, and enjoyed the music of such performers
as Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley.
Herb Montei, a Hollywood music publisher,
turned down Reynolds when he heard his first
demo submissions. After hearing "Endless
Sleep," however, Montei agreed to manage the
young rockabilly singer and he arranged for
Reynolds to record the song for Demon
Records. Reynolds had written the song in a
single afternoon in 1956 in Yuma, AZ. Some of
Reynolds' songs, including "Endless Sleep,"
give a writing credit to Dolores Nance, but
the name is a pseudonym that Reynolds used.
Reynolds and the Storms later recorded a
honky tonk sounding instrumental, "Thunder,"
for Indigo. The flip side was "Tarantula."
Reynolds also released "Stormy" on Smash
Records, which was backed by "Don't Jump."
For Brent, he recorded "Raggedy Ann," which
was produced by Alan Freed. "Fire of Love"
has been featured in a few films, including
Doctor Chance in France.
Reynolds remained with the Storms throughout
the 1960s. He left the limelight during the
1970s. He settled in Palm Springs, CA, where
he sells real estate.

Digitally enhanced audio version (originally

A lovely simple song, but the way she sings
it and the beautiful orchestration make it
pretty special - even now 50 years on.

In this episode we go to the legendary set of
stairs at Wallenburg in San Francisco, a
proving ground for professional
skateboarders. In fact, I think you could
almost count the tricks that have ever been
done down them on one hand. I wanted to mess
Andrew up by making little messes on the
stairs between each try, like have a place
setting and put the fork in the wrong spot or
something, but I didn't. Knowing how Andrew
keeps his house that would be one of the
meanest things you could ever do to him.
