Hi everyone!
We know it’s been a while since you last heard from us.
We hope you have enjoyed a great summer.
Many of you have probably noticed that our website has been experiencing some technical issues this year. We ask for your patience as we sort this out with Web Hosting CANADA.
As always, lots of stories, facts, tales and trivia to share with you about Little Caesar and the Consuls, since 1956 now in its 68th year.
An interesting bit of information; 1965 was the first full year that Canada had nationwide weekly singles charts, thanks to RPM magazine…R.P.M. (Records, Promotion, Music), Canada’s only music industry Weekly founded by Walt Grealis and Stan Klees….all yours for .30 cents back in the day.
What is most surprising is that in the midst of the British Invasion, there were over 50 Top 40 hits by Canadian artists through the year. Two of these made it to #1: the Guess Who’s “Shakin’ All Over” and “You Really Got A Hold On Me” by Little Caesar and The Consuls, a cover of Smokey Robinson’s song.
If “My Girl Sloopy”, written by Wes Farrell, was your first introduction to Little Caesar and the Consuls, then you have missed one of the most talented groups in Canada. Little Caesar and the Consuls have been in the business longer than any other band, since 1956, Now, that’s a long time!
We are pleased to report that our CD “The Music of My World” released in 2019 continues to receive lots of airplay in Canada and Internationally. We thank Trilogy Records International for their ongoing support.
As Sly and the Family Stone would sing, “Dance to the music”. We hope you do too!
-Walter Taylor for Little Caesar And The Consuls
