Trini Lopez

Um...

Trini Lopez, do you remember him? No, not at all.

Not at all.

I remember him in the morning.

Can you guess what it was? Was it

Trini Lopez's place? Because Trini Lopez had a Mexican restaurant.

No, I don't think he was Cuban.

No, he wasn't.

They were definitely, if they weren't the same location, they both advertised as being directly beside Alan Hills.

And I

apologize for thinking Trini Lopez was Cuban.

But tell us the story on the old Gilbert show that really kicked this off.

Righty-o, time for some more requests, I reckon.

And first in the queue today is Jackie, who put in a request for Trini Lopez.

And in particular, the song, If I Had a Hammer.

For you, Jackie, Trini Lopez.

Somewhat of a protest song, that's If I Had a Hammer, sung on this occasion by Trini Lopez.

The song was written by Pete Seeger.

Also, Peter, Paul and Mary also had a hit with that song.

And it was a fun place.

Everyone would go there and party and they'd play Elvis records and Trini Lopez and these sort of things.

But I witnessed my parents drinking away all the time and having a party and it looked like lots of fun to me.

And at the age of 13, I...

It's an old ass movie, but boys, it got a lot of very interesting actors in it.

It's the only movie I know of that has Charles Bronson, Trini Lopez, and Tali Savalas in it.

Um, lemon tree is so pretty and the lemon smells so sweet.

Along with Kojak and the guy who talks like this in all the Simpsons episodes.

I think that came out of the Major Label record label.

Dick kind of... bops around between different ones he owns major label echo phonic is also his own but it'll issue stuff on other labels and different things too like sleazy for example and you know whatever kind of comes along it's a fun track a great original a visit from the devil keep it brief all right Trini Lopez coming in on the King record label with a great one there called Yes You Do.

Indeed, great jiving potential.

Love that tune from Trini.
