It should’ve happened… multiple hits, a massive career, world recognition and all the rest.

 

Safaris 

As grown-ups, one was to spend his life as a

criminal attorney the second, a market research

analyst, the third, a sales manager at a bottled

water company; finally there was Dr. Marvin

Rosenberg, psychologist, who has spent his daze

trying to figure out why do people behave as they do.

Dr. Rosenberg is said that he knew since the age of 11

you want to be a rock’n roll star. His dad said to kid you’re wasting your time.

They were persistent making one-off recordings as the Enchanters, the Dories, the Angels and finally it

happened—recording as the SAFARIS– there first dusty disc for Eldo Records–allegedly part owned by the

famed Johnny Otis–“IMAGE OF A GIRL” a doo-wop number scrutinizing the confusions of a spat spent

between Marvin and hid then girlfriend.

Marv’s girlfriend, upset by his over involvement with music and under involvement with her, had asked

Marv to choose between his music and her, then stormed angrily out of the room. Marv, thoroughly

depressed had flop down on the girls bed and thought to himself, ”Why can’t there be a girl to really love

me for me?”

”Well, she had this really loud clock in a room,” Dr. Rosenberg said, “there was a drip coming from the

bathroom. That formed the beginning of the song. The rest just came to me… I wrote the whole thing in

about five minutes.” Rcorded in two take’s with some of the members of the Hollywood Argyle’s– known for

“Alley Oop,” a atmospheric rock’n roll moment was captured.

Oh the romance…After the tune went top ten, the girlfriend offered to sell Dr. Rosenberg the bed he wrote

the song in.
