musician's
does anyone know who were the musicians playing the soundtrack to this movie ?

The credits say that the song was sung by Al Saxon. I am guessing but I would expect that the other musicians would have been session muscians playing the backing for Al. I see that Al Saxon appeared on Thank Your Lucky Stars a couple of times but I can't out much more than that.
shareThe blues coronet that is featured in the sound track occasionally is just superb.
share59' was such a weird time musically. There seemed to have been a 'void' needing to be filled - promoters and acts were trying to find 'the next big thing'.
Skiffle was down right bizarre (IMHO).Then you had bands like 'The Beach Boys'
who seemed poised to be 'it' having no idea what was coming in the Brit. Invasion. So many records/acts missing the boat. It was like they threw anything at the wall to see if it sticks. Then the Beatles etc., one clear direction that spawned so much creative energy/talent ! I almost felt sorry for the Wilsons - mantle snatched - not that they did poorly or anything. The young Jimmy Page skiffle vid. on youtube is almost scary its so bizarre ! Of course it was the same time Dave Brubeck and co. hit the nail on the head with pop/jazz so it wasn't all a waste....but the black horn rimmed glasses...man o' man.
Until the old farts were forced to take a back seat this weirdness was thrust on the record buying public. Ed Sullivan has to be given credit for providing a forum but the way bands had to kiss all these old geezers rears - they all "knew what the kids like" LOL ! Strange, strange time.

WOW!!! One of my favorite Stones tunes!
I was only about nine when I bought the 45rpm single of "The Last Time". Soon thereafter they released "Satisfaction" and I also immediately bought that 45 also. However I soon began playing the B-side (The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man) much more often.
I still have that old blue spiral label London 45. It was many years later that I learned that it was recorded at the old Chess studio in Chicago.
I have noticed that same raw sound in several late 50s British recordings. (especially Lonnie Donegan's "Long Gone Lost John" and "Stewball"). I especially liked the song playing in "I'm All Right Jack" in the early scene where Cynthia Kite is sitting in front of her mirror while getting ready to go to the movies. It definately rocked. I plan to DVR it the next time it's on just for that tune.
