The Crystals - Up Town mp3 download

I wonder if the Wrecking Crew did this background music.

thanks God for capitalism and free markets which allow a hard working man to rise. Like I did.

RIP Fatima Frances Collins

A tremendous song by the Crystals as well as "And then he kissed me".

Can somebody please tell me who is playing the absolutely drop dead gorgeous flamenco guitar on this? (And NO, it was not Tommy Tedesco or Bill Pitman or Any Wrecking Crew usual suspect. The Crystals recorded this in New York. Probably either at Mira Sound or Allegro Sound Studios in the Brill Building. My best educated guess would be Charles Macy or Trade Martin. And just a little trivia. Spector left New York because the players in New York couldn’t stand him or his production tactics. And he had a difficult time getting the exact sound he wanted in New York so he moved out west permanently and that’s where he came up with his Wall of Sound) at that point he was moving back and forth from New York and LA. He would choose to stay in LA in 1962 and that’s where he formed Phillies Records with Lester Still and he had his first hit with that label. He’s a Rebel.

I lived in an francisco downtown most of my life and when I was teenagers me and my best friend will go market street late in hours and this song come to my mind and my deceased friend

Commentary on white privilege. When he comes uptown, they go up on the roof. Then we just get to the universal pursuit of happiness.

Outstanding!  I still bop to this song.  What a great arrangement and vocals.....  Memories....

I bought "Uptown" when I was 12 on the original Philles label orange and black When I rode the Hudson Line below 125th St. and I could see in the tenements as the train ran above Park Ave. before it went underground and I could imagine those who worked in midtown or downtown and then came home to Spanish Harlem. which until the 1950s was Italian Harlem where some of my relatives were born
