 


A friend asked me about The Redwoods aka The Flairs. In my humble opinion I believe that Shake Shake Sherry is THE best ever rock & roll tune. Wild, great sax, teen lyrics, doo-wop harmony (by Jeff) written & sung by Jeff Barry who is one of the best pop writers of all time. Jeff recorded under many names/groups including The Raindrops, Redwoods and in most cases he did all the vocals or some with Ellie soon to be his wife. Involved with the (fake/studio) group the Archies & Ron Dante, Jeff wrote tv themes and many songs that you hear constantly like Hanky Panky, Doo Wah Diddy, Sugar Sugar and other of my fav's Tell Me What He said by Helen Shapiro also recorded by The Playmates. Tell Laura I Love Her was one of the earliest songs he wrote. Read more at spectropop or do a google search. These are from my personal collection.
