HI HOPES - Ability [USA rock, pop 1972] Band'N Vocal Mobile Recording Service BVRS 1200

Hi Hopes comes from Hope School located in Anaheim, California. Hope School opened in September of 1969 to "serve the trainable mentally retarded of the Anaheim Union High School District" according to the liner notes. The music department of Hope School was headed by Doris Walker, who accompanied the band on piano. She also wrote several original songs for the album ("Label", a song written by Miss Walker, was offered as an MP3 on Show and Tell Music). Other songs on the album are "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", "Candy Man", and "Everything Is Beautiful". "La Cucaracha" stands out as my favorite as lead singer Paul Kuehn tries to pronounce some of the Spanish lyrics but the real star of the song is Art Medina, the "Spanish solo". Read more on Last.fm.
