Rubbish-he was ... ( 1 year ago by thefamilycat)

Rubbish-he was known as Freddy Boom Boom Cannon because a cannon goes Boom! Geddit?
However this man is the King of Rock'n'Roll-its not Elvis.
Imagine him singing Are you lonesome tonight or Love me tender!
Freddy did nothing resembling a ballad-he was the rock'n'roll end of high school pop

Freddy is better ... ( 1 year ago by abuiltmale)

Freddy is better then Elvis???? Better take your meds!! I worked with Freddy in the 70s and it was pretty evident that his voice was gone. Elvis? Now that funny!!

Yeh well bear in ... ( 1 year ago by thefamilycat)

Yeh well bear in mind that this refers to the period Elvis was first called the King of RnR.Many qualify as true Kings Bill Haley,Carl Perkins,Fats Domino or even Jerry Lee Lewis.
Cannon's singles were tampered with over here-speeding them up when they didn't need it.I first heard Cannon on the BBC Saturday Club or something and later on the Church St Station videos.
Cannon is the King od RnR on the evidence of the records and here Elvis is the same.
But King of RnR? No way

Hey, I bought and still have the "Action" 45, on Warner. Most of his hits, of course, were on Swan. I live across the street from where the Swan offices were in Philly. Also liked "Transistor Sister" and "Jump Over" by him.

Did anyone notice what telvision show this was shot on? "Swingin' Time". This show aired on Channel 9 Windsor/Detroit in the 1960s. Robin Seymour was the host. I watched this after school (Jr. High). Thanks for the post- it brought back great memories of growing up in Motown.

My girlfriend and I still talk about this show to this day. "Where the Action is," that is. Seems like it was a Dick Clark production.

"Where the Action ... ( 5 months ago by 1400deadwood)

"Where the Action Is" was a tv show from about 1965-1974. I used to rush home from school to watch it because the girl dancers were really cute!

Dang, they sure ... ( 4 months ago by HickysBoy)

Dang, they sure were! Can't beat the 60s look.

Among the backup ... ( 4 months ago by vandywilliam)

Among the backup musicians on the record (Warner Brothers 5645) were Leon Russell, Glen Campbell and David Gates. [For some of you who haven't heard all of Cannon's songs, you might try to call up "Jump Over" and "The Urge." Representing the two sides of Swan 4053, they are among his best, although they didn't chart as high as many of the others].

Wish Dick Clark ... ( 4 months ago by hollyyt53)

Wish Dick Clark would put out videos from WTAI. I would buy every single one of them. Does anybody have any clips of the other theme songs sung by Tommy Boyce and Keith Allison?

I met Freddy in the 90's-he was a very polite guy-Rock on!

Too bad the ... ( 3 months ago by horarwgt)

Too bad the soundtrack is distorted because Freddy's lip-synching to one of the great rock records of all time. The TV series "Where The Action Is" ran on ABC daytime between July 1965 and March 1967. Cannon's record reached #13 in the fall of 1965.
