Discovery: Van Doren—Huntington
Beach
Organist Dave Lewis was a Seattle R&B pioneer and a big
influence on the local rock’n’roll scene, but he never had a national hit. “Little Green Thing,” debuting here this week,
will reach number 10 in June. Also not
making it at Billboard is this week’s Discovery, “Huntington Beach” by Van Doren,
which is the first record appearing on these surveys that I don’t own in some
form, whether record, tape or CD. I don’t
know anything about it but I find myself assuming it’s an instrumental. I don’t even know whether it’s first name
Van, last name Doren, or last name Van Doren.
The Beatles’ “Sie Liebt Dich,” recorded for release in
Germany, managed to squeak into the Billboard Hot 100 at number 97 due to the
demand for all things Beatles, but Seattle seems to have been
extra-Beatlemaniac, sending the record to number 19 here in two more
weeks. On the other hand, the Dave Clark
Five’s “Do You Love Me” hit number 11 in BB but only reaches number 33 at KJR.

ReplyDeleteI realize that it is likely that since you wrote this, you have done your own research...but perhaps this will add to what you already know about Van (first name) Doren (surname)
ReplyDeleteDiscogs lists Van Doren as A “UK Pianist”. A 1964 British Decca EP 45 titled “Camelot: Van Doren at two pianos” has a short biographical article in its liner notes: “At 24, Van is rapidly making a name for himself in London’s smart West End night spots. His youth and boyish charm…(have)…been admired wherever he works. .For this EP Van has utilized a two piano technique which he feels is necessary to convey on record the whole effect of theatre music. A 1970 RCA Camden long play album adds that he was born in London to Dutch parents and was graduated from the Royal Academy of Music there (apparently prior to 1964 since it’s also mentioned on the Camelot EP). The Victor album also reveals that he had played at several world- famous clubs including The Copacabana, The Colony, The Park Royal Hotel, and The Beverly Hills (from which he may have been introduced to Caslifornia's Huntingdon Beach)
Several copies of the record are available at Discogs.com

Thank you! I've found the record since then, but that's a lot more than I knew about him. I didn't even know he was British.
