Extra Extra read all about it! This 60's Corpus classic had to be the first post on Corpus Gold. Dancing on the T-head, dancing on the beach! You just know the dance floor was packed when they hit this rocker...They like to do the freeze, they like to do the stroll, they like to do the cha cha cha, but they like rock-n-roll...ooh wee! This was an early release by Corpus bandleader Oscar Martinez and Orchestra, featuring the vocals of Pepe Cavazos on the Impala record label. This has been a fave of mine for many years. It has recently been revived by Austin-area Tex-Mex trailblazers, Larry Lange and The Lonely Knights on record and in their live shows. I believe Oscar himself has been seen on stage with that group as well. The flip is Let's Pretend, a 6/8 ballad with full brass section and crooning vocal from Pepe. The dynamic drum roll intro sets the stage for some swaying ballroom rug-cutting of the classiest order! Pick up on it!
