New York based Red Bird, and its sister label, Blue Cat, existed for a very short time, from 1964-67,
but during that time gave us some of the most memorable hits of the '60s. Red Bird was to be the pop
label, and Blue Cat was to be the R&B label.
In 1964, George Goldner formed a partnership with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller to start the Red Bird
Record company. Red Bird was very successful, with it's first release "Chapel of Love" by the Dixie
Cups [Red Bird 10-001] reaching Number 1 on the national charts in May, 1964. They had other
successes with the Dixie Cups, Shangri-Las and others, racking up a huge percentage of their releases
making the charts.
The Dixie Cups were a family girl group from New Orleans. They were sisters Barbara Ann Hawkins and
Rosa Lee Hawkins, along with their cousin Joan Marie Johnson. In addition to "Chapel of Love," they
had two more top-20 hits, "People Say" [Red Bird 10-006, #12, #7R&B, July, 1964] and "Iko, Iko" [Red
Bird 024, #20, #20 R&B, April, 1965]. They also had three lesser chart successes with "You Should
Have
Seen the Way He Looked At Me" [Red Bird 10-012, #39, October, 1964], "Little Bell" [Red Bird 10-017,
#51, December, 1964], and "Gee The Moon Is Shining Bright" [Red Bird 10-032, #102, July, 1965].
The Shangri-Las established themselves with a tough girls/bad girls persona, which was so unusual at
the time that they were in instant demand for public concerts. The group was two sets of sisters, Mary
and Betty Weiss, and identical twins Mary Ann and Marge Ganser. Betty Weiss dropped out temporarily
in October, 1964, but returned by mid-1965. Photos of the group will sometimes show a trio, and
sometimes the quartet. The girls came from Queens, New York, and took their group name from a local
restaurant. They had a couple of obscure singles before signing with Red Bird, but it was really their
association with producer George "Shadow" Morton that catapulted them to stardom.
Morton wrote a song called "Remember (Walkin' In The Sand)", and hired the girls to record the demo
along with a then-unknown piano player named Billy Joel. The result was a rambling, 7-plus minute
recording that was way too long for AM radio. Morton re-recorded the Shangri-Las doing the song and
cut off a long intro and faded it out after two minutes and change. It was a song unlike any others, with
sound effects of the ocean, sea gulls, and a prominent bass used as hooks. The song went to #5 [Red
Bird 10-008, #5, August, 1964].
The Shangri-Las Red Bird hits started with them on the beach, and interestingly, ended with them back
on the beach. "Past, Present and Future" [Red Bird 10-068, #59, June, 1966] was another Shadow
Morton tune, this time co-written with Jerry Leiber and Artie Butler, loosely based on Beethoven's
"Moonlight Sonata." It was mostly spoken rather than sung, and due to the line, "Don't try to touch
me...because that will never happen again," many recent reviewers suggest the song is about rape, but
Mary Weiss flatly denies this, and says the song is about teenage angst (It was in many ways a much
more innocent time. We teens at the time identified with this as a song about falling in love, and just
figured that falling in love before had hurt her, so she wasn't going to let it happen again.) It is ironic,
though, that their beach songs are bookends for their Red Bird career.
Between the bookends, the Shangri-Las had a #1 hit with the iconic "Leader of the Pack" [Red Bird 10-
014, #1, October, 1964], another top ten "death song" with "I Can Never Go Home Anymore" [Red Bird
10-043, #6, November, 1965], and a top-20 song "Give Him a Great Big Kiss" [Red Bird 10-018, #18,
December, 1964] that sounded like teenage girls talking after school with lines like, "Yeah? Well I hear
he's bad." "Ummm, he's good-bad, but he's not evil." In addition, they scored five more chart hits ranging
from #33 to #99. Most of their hits were written by Shadow Morton.
Other artists with chart records on Red Bird include the Jelly Beans' "I Wanna Love Him So Bad" [Red
Bird 10-003, #9, June, 1964], The Butterflys' (actually Ellie Greenwich) "Good Night Baby" [Red Bird
10-009, #51, September, 1964], Alvin Robinson's "Fever" [Red Bird 10-010, #108, September, 1964],
Barry Mann's "Talk To Me Baby" [Red Bird 10-015, #94, December, 1964], The Trade Winds' "New
York's A Lonely Town" [Red Bird 10-020, #32, February, 1965], Roddie Joy's "Come Back Baby" [Red
Bird 10-021, #21 R&B, March, 1965], and Dickie Goodman's "Batman and His Grandmother" [Red Bird
10-058, #70, May, 1966]. There were also several other lower-charting records by these artists.
The partnership lasted through mid-1966, when Leiber and Stoller sold their interest in the company to
Goldner for one dollar. Goldner continued with Red Bird for about another year, but without Leiber and
Stoller and their creative team (Jeff Barry & Ellie Greenwich, George "Shadow" Morton, etc.), the hits
stopped.
Although they apparently recorded in stereo, they only released the first Dixie Cups LP in that format.
The Shangri-Las songs were also recorded in stereo, and have appeared later on several other non-Red
Bird LPs (see "Related Discography" below). CDs such as the Taragon CD below have finally allowed us
to hear the Red Bird songs in excellent sounding true stereo.
The Red Bird label was yellow with black print, with the red and black logo on top (far left). Around the bottom of the label it read, "STUYVESANT PRODUCTIONS, INC." The stereo label was the same, with "STEREO" on the left of the label in small block letters (near left) | ||
The Adlai Stevenson album [Red Bird 20-105] had a special gold label (far left). The UK version of the Red Bird label was white with red print (near left). |

album was released, however, in 1966 on Roulette R/SR-25345, containing all the singles he recorded
for Red Bird. Rossi, of course, was half of the comedy team of Allen & Rossi, with Marty Allen. I'll Set My

Taragon TARCD-1029 - The Very Best Of Red Bird/Blue Cat Records - Various Artists
[1998] A long-awaited blockbuster. Finally, the true stereo mixes of some of the more memorable songs
of the 1960s. Some of these have been available in stereo before on next-to-impossible to find LPs, and
some have been available in the weird versions from the Incense & Oldies album on Buddah,
and some just have never been available in stereo before. Sparkling clean sound, and yes, "Leader of
the Pack" has all the lines intact, "Remember" has all the bird sounds, and "Give Him A Great Big Kiss"
has all the vocal overdubs. There are other treats here, like "Remember" running longer than the 45, and
at 2:30 of "I Can Never Go Home Anymore," the mixed-out "Listen, I'm not finished!" line restored.
"People Say" is in real stereo for a change, not just the bells in the middle like on the original LP. Colin
Escott's liner notes give interesting insights, such as "Iko Iko" was a recording of between-songs session
diversion with later instrumental overdubs. All in all, the best various artists CD to come out in years. A
must for all collectors. Chapel Of Love - Dixie Cups (S)/I Wanna Love Him So Bad - Jelly Beans
