Kim Fowley "Adventures In Dreamland" 2004

The son of actor Douglas Fowley (who appeared in Singin' in the Rain), Kim Fowley was born July 27, 1942, in L.A., and made his first recordings with drummer Sandy Nelson during the late '50s...
...After working with a number of short-lived groups including the Paradons and the Innocents, Fowley found his first taste of success by producing the Top 20 hit "Cherry Pie" for schoolmates Gary S. Paxton and Skip Battin, who performed under the name Skip & Flip. With Battin, Fowley next created the group the Hollywood Argyles, who topped the charts in 1960 with the novelty smash "Alley Oop." The duo subsequently masterminded Paul Revere & the Raiders' first hit, "Like Long Hair," and in 1962 helped launch the Rivingtons, scoring with the classic "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow." Another novelty hit, B. Bumble & the Stingers' "Nut Rocker," reached number one in the U.K. (and would be covered by Emerson, Lake & Palmer), and in 1964 Fowley even began handling promotional chores for singer P.J. Proby; that same year, he also produced the girl group smash "Popsicles and Icicles" by the Murmaids. - by Jason Anken
