I found a video of these guys doing tighten Up. The video is awful and you can't hear the bass. Someone put the music to a slide show. The sound is MUCH better!

Here's the real thing, but it is awful.

Wish I could play guitar better, I got the bass line, It's pretty simple. But I can't make the chords ring out on the guitar with those tiny little strings!

Got to meet Archie Bell, and get his autograph. ("Son, that's only the second autograph I've ever given out") a few years back when we were invited to hang out with Dick Clark(yes, THAT Dick Clark). Meeting Dick and getting a picture taken with him was cool but talking with Archie for a while was great fun.

Very cool Ronn! You are very fortunate, always seeming to be in the right place at the right time for really cool stuff to happen!!

...but what the Hell is a "Drell" anyway???

It's a goofy guy that dances around singing doo-wops and such. Very similar to a Pip!

That was a great song, still love it to this day. Ever hear "Loosen Up" by The Nazz, Todd Rungren's first band? It's hilarious, a take off on Tighten Up. Loosen up on that bass now! loosens string, bloom bloom, OK, let that guitar fall in now! crash! It's all out of time. They were a great band though, did the original Hello It's me, completely different than the jazzy version he did solo later on.

I loved that double album of his, I can't remember the name at the moment! Hello it's Me is on it.

If you're talking about The Nazz Charlie, I can't find it at the moment, it's the Nazz's three albums on two CD's.
