Julius Wechter Quotes

I started playing piano when I was 6, then on the drums and mallets, in Los Angeles. My first big break was with Martin Denny in 1957, and in 1962 I recorded “The Lonely Bull” with Herb and went on from there. (Note from Cissy– he also played as a studio musician on so many of the hits of the 60’s–from The Righteous Brothers to Sonny & Cher and The Beach Boys.)

About my favorite song (and of course it will be one of my husband’s) it’s a little complicated. “Spanish Flea” made us kind of famous–I wrote the lyrics and of the over 60 recordings, from mantovani to Billy May, about 8 were with lyrics, including Theresa Brewer, Frankie Randall and the Modernaires. “Las Flores” made me cry, especially Tommy Tedesco’s guitar solo.
