The Astonishing Cab Calloway
I actually got to see him perform at Atlanta's Chastain Park around 1992 (with The Professor and some friends), but Betty Boop wasn't there.

Jack Webb wedding photos
Here, via the always engrossing USC Digital Library, are a few 1958 photos from Jack's third wedding, to former Miss USA Jackie Loughery. For more Jack Webb goodness, go check out the Dull Tool Dim Bulb blog.

The (Filipino) Kingsmen
Not as good as the American Kingsmen when they recorded "Louie Louie", but better than a lot of their later work. And probably better than the gospel Kingsmen, but I'll have to admit that I've never actually listened to them, just snorted with irritation when I found them filed in the "oldies" section (other irritants: black Roger Miller, reggae Donovan, the reggae Wailers, and, of course, Vivaldi's The Four Seasons).
More Phun Phrom The Philippines: a commenter on a previous post sent us this link to a cool Tagalog cover of "Long Tall Sally." Thanks, Pat!
