THE FAUNS WERE AN EARLY 1960S AUSSIE VOCAL GROUP. THEY WERE SOME OF THE EARLY PERFORMERS WHO APPEARED ON AUSTRALIAN BANDSTAND. AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY HAD 3 VINYL SINGLES, POSSIBLY MORE.THE FAUN'S FIRST SINGLE IN 1960 WAS "DANCE WITH ME" BACKED WITH "DON'T TAKE THE STARS" ON THE LEE GORDON OWNED RECORD LABEL "LEEDON". "DANCE WITH ME" WAS A COVER VERSION OF THE SONG ORIGINALLY RECORDED BY THE U.S.A. GROUP CALLED THE DRIFTERS.
ON THE "DANCE WITH ME" RECORD LABEL IT HAS A CONFUSING LITTLE TAG WHICH STATES..."WITH ORCHESTRATIONS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF EDDIE CASH JR"...FOR THOSE WHO ARE "NOT IN THE KNOW", EDDIE CASH JR. WAS REALLY JOHNNY O'KEEFE, A MAN PRONE TO USING THIS STRANGE PSEUDONYM FOR HIS OWN WARPED AMUSEMENT.
SINGLES:
1-DANCE WITH ME / DON'T TAKE THE STARS 1960
2-WE SHOULD BE TOGETHER / WHILE SUSAN SLEEPS 1961
3-TELL ME WHY / NURSERY RHYME ROCK 1961
"DANCE WITH ME" IS COURTESY OF JIMMY B. WHO HAS SPENT SOME CONSIDERABLE TIME FINDING ME GREAT OLDIES FOR THIS BLOG.
