Hello Everyone,
Bennie Bell was determined to make a career in music, even though his
father wanted him to become a rabbi. During the '40s he wrote songs
for juke boxes in cocktail bars because their location gave him the
opportunity to indulge his talent for risque lyrics. His first song
to be noticed was "Take A Ship For Yourself". This was followed in
1946 by "Shaving Cream", with a vocal by Paul Wynn, which became a
cult hit. At the time its notoriety ruled out airplay, but in 1975 a
New York radio station played the record, prefaced with the warning:
If you have children in the room, or if you are particularly
sensitive to a dangerously naughty record, you should leave the room
or switch stations immediately. Naturally, the audience's interest
was aroused and the record made the US Top 30 singles chart. Thanks
for all your support and have a great week, Eric
