Wayne Cochran and the . Riders was a Vegas show band, known for the type of performance you'd catch in a casino lounge at Caesar's Palace or the Flamingo. Cochran was determined to be the white James Brown. He never pulled it off, being that his entire act was clearly a cop of what Brown, Little Richard, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson and other landmark black artists were already doing. Still, that never stopped him from trying, and at times he came close to achieving his own, unique onstage greatness. Having worked the show/theater circuit for over a decade by the time this recording was made in 1971, it's clear that Cochran had blown out his once powerful baritone voice. His vocal prowess had been replaced by over-the-top stage theatrics, making the audience privy, at the very least, to an entertaining stage show. Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me. She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good, So I can see my baby when I leave this world. We were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far. Up in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled, the engine was dead. I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right. I'll never forget, the sound that night- the screaming tires, the busting glass, the painful scream that I- heard last. Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
