The Kaplan Brothers – Eleanor Rigby (The Kaplan Brothers, 1973)
Ponytone has long been a connoisseur of fine Rigbies of the Eleanor variety, and this one is stellar. According to the back of the record, not only did the Kaplan Brothers have a long standing gig at Chicago’s Sheraton O’Hare, they were the hosts of a one-hour nationwide television show sponsored by the San Antonio World’s Fair. They also entertained Lady Bird Johnson, one of my heroes because apparently she conducted all of her business from bed. (Which does make me wonder just where exactly this “entertainment” took place)
