Apon # 2508

Las Trompetas de Jesus
“Vol. IV”
no label

“Alright, everybody, hands on trees!”

I think a “trompeta” must be some sort of cheap keyboard that vaguely sounds like a trumpet.

Sammy Davis, Jr.
“The Sound of Sammy: From the Candy Man to Plop Plop Fizz Fizz”
1978, Alka-Seltzer/Warner Special Products

Many celebrity product promotion records that I find just are simply an artist’s greatest hits with an advert for the product on the cover.  Maybe there’s a company jingle on the record, but its performed by someone else.

Not so here!  This forgotten gem features TWO versions of Sammy’s unique version of the “Plop Plop Fizz Fizz” song! One for every taste.

“Plop Plop Fizz Fizz (Big Band version)”

“Plop Plop Fizz Fizz (Rock Version)”
