1373 Hurricane Smith - Oh Babe, What Would You Say?
1373 Hurricane Smith - Oh Babe, What Would You Say?
From: Oh Babe, What Would You Say? (Single), Year: 1972
I've had this rather Jazzy Pop tune running through my mind for the last little bit now and I figured I would make it my pick today. From what I've read about him, Norman "Hurricane" Smith did most of his work in the music industry as an engineer/producer; he most notably worked on most of the Beatles' and some of Pink Floyd's albums. Apparently John Lennon himself bestowed the name "Hurricane" on him, which he used as a pseudonym for his own recordings.
I have heard this song a lot over the years, there is something quite charming about the "old timey" feel in this one.
Here is the studio version on YouTube.
