Boomin Reunion Band Salutes Donnie Brooks and His Mission Bell Hit Song

 One of our favorite people in recording the Boomin Reunion Band TV Show was Donnie Brooks. A member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, Done had a  Cash Box Top 40 hit in 1959-60 called Mission Bell.  He continued his singing career for decades and also became an agent for other Rock & Roll stars of the era. He was an integral part of the Boomin Reunion TV show. I'll always remember his Gold lame bib when we had meals together and the fun we had hanging ut with iconic guitar player Jerry Cole in Hollywood. Tragically, Jerry died suddenly before we could record an album with him. What a loss for us all.

 Way back in 1995, TVS Records had just started out and was looking for a distinctive niche in the music industry. It ws decided to form a 'Super Band' and then invite top pop artists who had big hits in the 1960's and 1970's to sit in a reprise their hits. It all started when noted promoter Donnie Brooks, himself a noted pop, night club and rockabilly vocalist, suggested that TVS Records hook up with long time Wrecking Crew guitarist Jerry Cole and gather top studio musicians for the sessions. The rest is history. More than a hundred top Cash Box Top 40 pop artists sat in with the Boomin Reunion Band for video and audio recordings. These recordings still go on today. Sadly, both Donnie Brooks and Jerry Cole have passed on, but Engineer Reggie Langendoerfer and Executive Producer Tom Ficara are still making their versions of the greatest songs of the 20th Century. Today, the Boomin Reunion Band performs at TVS Records studios in Hollywood, Bakersfield, San Francisco, Re...
