Christmas Day Classics - 20 Festive Greats

The Ohio Express - 20 Christmas Classic Hits - San Juan Music Group 8-15-2018.JPG

This Album was a project of passion in 2015 by the late iconic music industry veteran Michael Chernow, President of San Juan Music, taking 18 months to complete. Here's the obituary that was in the New York Times about this remarkable man: https://www.app.com/obituaries/asb277046

The ambitious Album was literally orchestrated by his dear friend, Producer Mickey Yannick, who also arranged the Songs for his chosen Studio Musicians to record the 20 Music Backing Tracks. He then selected The Ohio Express to record 12 Tracks with Lead Vocals and Produced by Tim Corwin with Bandmate Warren Sawyer who also served as Engineer and Mixed the Tracks at his studio, Sawyer Sound, in Bellville, Ohio.

Yannick also selected Looking Glass to perform 2 Tracks, with 3 Tracks each performed by 1910 Fruitgum Company and Joey Dee and The StarlightersThe Album was released worldwide by San Juan Music on 11/21/2018.​​

Tim Corwin enthused, "This Album personally means a great deal to me and was an extraordinary experience in my career. I had so much fun working with Mickey Yannick and my fellow Producer Warren Sawyer who also did excellent work as Recording Engineer and Mixing in his studio. We hope that our visitors enjoy it and share it with their friends and loved ones!"

Super K Productions hired a Mansfield, Ohio, band known as Sir Timothy & the Royals and renamed them the Ohio Express. The lineup consisted of Doug Grassel (rhythm guitar), Dale Powers (vocals, lead guitar), Dean Kastran (bass), Jim Pfahler (keyboards) and Tim Corwin (drums). This group toured as the Ohio Express, and their touring commitments (and Ohio home base) made it difficult for them to head into the New York-based Super K offices to record a follow-up single to "Beg, Borrow and Steal". Of the "official" group members, only Dale Powers (lead vocals) appeared on the second single credited to Ohio Express, a cover of the Standells' "Try It". The single stalled well outside the US Top 40, peaking at No. 83.

 

The group soon recorded an album called "Beg, Borrow and Steal". It mixed the original Rare Breed title track with tracks recorded by the Ohio Express touring group, as well as tracks recorded by the Super K staff musicians with vocals by Powers. The LP came out on Cameo-Parkway Records of Philadelphia in the autumn of 1967. Unfortunately, the record label went into bankruptcy shortly after that and was purchased by music business mogul Allen Klein, who owns the masters to this day.

 

Two songs on the "Beg, Borrow and Steal" LP, "I Find I Think of You" and "And It's True", were actually recorded by the Kent, Ohio, band the Measles, led by Joe Walsh, later of the Eagles and the James Gang. In addition, the Measles recorded an instrumental version of "And It's True" (retitled "Maybe") which was placed on the B-side of the "Beg, Borrow and Steal" single. Four decades later The Ohio Express is still active, dazzling crowds all across Europe and the United States of America!
