Who sang "Hush?"
Wade Hampton Miller
I tired of NPR and poked around on the radio trying to find some music. On one
geezer rock station I heard the song that goes:
"Hush...hush...I thought I heard her callin' my name, now,"
"Hush...hush...she broke my heart but I love her just the same, now,"
"Hush...hush...(etc...)"
The song itself is familiar to the point of near-obnoxiousness, but I couldn't
place the group who recorded it.
Were they one hit wonders who never surfaced again, or some respected touring
band that had this and other hits besides?
One thing I noticed was that, while there was a rhythm electric guitar, there
wasn't any lead guitar, at least not in the portion of the song I caught.
Where you'd expect a guitar solo there was a keyboard player banging away on
what sounded like a Hammond B3 electric organ.
So does anyone have a clue as to who these folks were, and what year the song
was released? It seems like I heard it in high school, but I can't place the
band to save my life....
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows.

I got a certan little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it
She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep
Listen
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

Right. The Deep Purple version was a cover they did a few years later.

Sorry, but "Hush" was written by Joe South - famous for writing "Down in the
Boondocks", "Games People Play" and "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden".
I believe you're thinking of Neil Diamond's song "Kentucky Woman" which Deep
Purple also covered.
All the best,

Wade,
Listen to the recording closely ... there is actually some rippin'
guitar in there. Ritchie was never my favorite shredder but he could
lay a monster riff down like nobody's business.
And the postscript to it is that Ritchie today performs celtic-ish
acoustic fingerstyle music ... don't have the ref info next to me, but
I believe he's released a couple of CD's in that vein.
By the way, Lance is right ...

Blackmore (my all time electric guitar hero) played a very unique
guitar solo on that. Of course Ritche went on to superstardom by
creating the ever popular (or unpopular) riff to SMOKE ON THE WATER.
FYI- Blackmore is playing ACOUSTIC music these days with his band
BLACKMORE'S NIGHT.I believe there are 5 CD's available. The latest is
GHOST OF A ROSE and is excellant musically, and not what you would
expect from a guy that used to break strats for aliving. FIRES AT
MIDNIGHT and SHADOW OF THE MOON are also very good. He is using
LAKEWOOD, TAYLOR, FENDER and ALVEREZ guitars on stage. Some of the
music has a Baroque / Renassance feel to it and he has done several
very pretty instrumentals on each CD as well. I cover one of his
instrumentals called MEMMIGEN on my latest CD (with permission of
course).

If he heard a Top 40 version of the song, the guitar solo may have been cut.
rob anderson
True and probable, but just the refrains and turn arounds are filled
with him riffing away on top, or just slightly in back of maybe, the
organ. I don't think the guy every strummed.

Funny thing: the people in their 20s know it, love it, ask for it.

I used to play w/ Sam Lay's band, Larry. Sam was the drummer for
Siegel/Schwall for a number of years, and I used to go with Sam to some
of their gigs in an Evanston club, who's name i've now forgotten. This
was around '69-'71 (I know... I'm dating myself)
Any chance we were in the same room together, 35 year ago?

I saw Corky Siegel perform in a bar on Union Street in San
Francisco...probably 1972.

Never had the opportunity to see them live, but one of the 2 albums I
bought was the live one. Sounded like a great fun live band.
This NG makes for a small but interesting world, doesn't it?

It's on the Reunion Concert CD - available at Corky's site -
http://www.chamberblues.com/ along with lots of other stuff.
Actually Siegel-Schwall had been mentioned on this group before -
somebody told me that the "Six Pieces for Blues Band & Orchestra" that
I'd been looking for had been reissued. I had, along with some other
stuff I didn't know about so off I went on another CD binge. This can
be a costly newsgroup even without GAS attacks.
I finally sobered up but still find their stuff outstanding - old and
new.

Back in the time frame (early '70's) the late. Sheldon Plotkin was
the drummer. They were the regular Tuesday night house band at the
Quiet Knight at Belmont and Southport in Chicago. I saw them many times
back then.
Bass player Rollo Radford is now a special Ed teacher in Chicago.
Jim Schwall now has a PhD and is with the Madison Wisconsin schools
and was running for mayor of Madison.
When they do gig now, Sam Lay does lay down the beat.
Corky has his "Chamber Blues" group and plays quite often.

You just made me walk over to the 41.5 linear feet of vinyl I have. Of the
four Siegel-Schwall LPs, Hush is not on one of them.
Hmm .....I did re-find my Martin Mull collection though. Good picker, funny
