Shango (rock group)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shango was a rock quartet in the late 1960s, led by Tommy Reynolds, later of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, which included actor Stuart Margolin.
Shango's best-known recording was a 1969 song, a modest novelty hit called "Day After Day (It's Slippin' Away)" from their self-titled album Shango. Produced by Jerry Riopelle and co-written by Margolin, Riopelle and Reynolds, it mocked contemporary doomsday predictions that California was destined to be destroyed (presumably very soon) by an earthquake. It was sung in Calypso style:
- Day after day
- More people come to L.A.
- Shh! Don't you tell anybody
- The whole place slippin' away
It was later adapted into a car ad:
- Day after day
- More people drive Chevrolet...
