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.
