The Seymour Stevens Session - 'Snowpeas'


Year

1960


Story

Bill Spades again attempted to help The Colors produce a single, this time a gorgeous tune called 'Snowpeas' about a lost love. He teamed The Colors up with vocalist Seymour Stevens who refused to sing the supposedly over-sexualised lyrics of this song. Seymour though was happy to sing 'Toothbrush Girl', and 'Snowpeas' was demoted to being an instrumental B-side. A string section, trombone and backing vocalists were added to the mix, one of these backing vocalists, Amy Camus, made such an impression on 'Toothbrush Girl', that she was asked to also feature on 'Snowpeas'. Unfortunately, 'Toothbrush Girl' was also too racy for 1960, and the song was shunned by all but the band. This time Alex decided to store the tapes at his father’s record shop.

Her peas and my peas Go together like snow And as far as I know She gave them to me
