I saw Diana, Mary and Cindy at The Forum in 1969 and got “treated” to “Queen of the House.”

they had a great act, song wise. perhaps a bit too heavy on the standards...some LP cuts could have been used.... the real problem I have with TOTT and Farewell was the breakneck pace of the hits arrangements, and the show tune orchestration on them.
The Copa? the standards and show tunes make the LP.....the Copa band was horrible for anything post '57/Elvis pop....every Copa LP I've heard sounds like Klezmer Bar Mitzvah music...[[Connie Francis, Paul Anka, Bobby Rydell) Bobby Vinton's was about the best....but he WAS himself a bandleader and most likely went thru great lengths not to suffer the same fate... he hired the Village Stompers [[?) instead of using the house band for his Copa LP

I seem to keep going with the summer so my set list would be for the summer of '69...
