Tapers Notes:

Billy Vera is a legend here in Los Angeles. His mom was a singer on the Perry Como show, and her
musical talents obviously rubbed off on Billy, who got his start writing songs for country and gospel
artists, such as Judy Clay and Dolly Parton. In the 70's he formed a band, Billy and the Beaters,
which had minor hits such as "I Can Take Care of Myself" and "What Did You Think (At This Moment."

In the 80's, he produced Lou Rawls last four LPs and starred in some bit roles in television and
movies. He enjoyed a re-discovery when Michael Buble' had a hit, 8 million copies strong, of
"What Did You Think."

He is fan of doo-wop and the great songs of the 30's and 40's written by black artists, and this show
is dedicated to those writers, but with a big band accompaniment, a 16 pc horn and reed section. It
coincides with his new release, "Big Band Jazz" which was released in 2013.

Crowd noise in one direction was oppressive, so tracks were faded out to zero between tracks.
