Description
Counterpart CP3745 Mr. Bus Driver/Gimmethegreenlight
Produced by Wayne Perry and Randy McNutt
"As it turns out, this B-side would be Cincinnati’s contribution to a bona fide Ohio bubblegum scene via Oxford’s The Lemon Pipers (psych-pop hit, “My Green Tamborine“) and Mansfield’s Ohio Express (“Yummy in My Tummy“). Fortunately, “Gimme the Green Light’s” horns make for a much funkier confection. Speaking of horns, Randy McNutt would reveal five years later (via email) that none other than Les Asch (of James Brown’s backing band, The Dapps) blew tenor sax on both sides of this 45: We used a white soul band on it, The Young Breed, for which Wayne Perry sang lead. Les wasn’t in the group. I hired him and another guy to play horns because the Breed had no horns. They were playing at the Half Way Inn then."
