Golden
World was not averse to leasing it's studio to other record
companies, and in
March 1966 Ollie McLaughlin brought in his group, The Capitols, to
cut Donald Storball's new song, "Cool Jerk". Ed
Wolfrum remembers recording the session at Golden World and
later mixing the track for Ollie at United Sound, after Danny
Dallas finished the vocal overdubs. "Ollie was wonderful to
work with, there were no fishing expeditions with him, he
knew what he wanted and went for it. Myself
and George McGregor tried to reconstruct the session in our
minds recently, and we both think that part of the studio line-up
included George, Bobby Jones, Johnny Griffith, Bob Babbitt and Mike Terry." Babbitt
also recalls that Eddie Willis and Ray Monette played
guitars. This
epic song reached Pop #7, R&B #2 on Ollie's Karen label.
