Back in the late 1970s, the Kojaks made a gigantic
splash in the underground music scene. They
showed up at CBGB one night, played an incredible
set of music and word quickly spread. Nobody was
really sure who they were or where they came from.
The next time they played at this famous club, the
place was packed. Everybody who was anybody on
the music scene had heard about them and wanted to
check it out for themselves. And there was also
just a little dash of disbelief about the whole
affair. I mean, really now, here were a bunch of
fantastic musicians, all dressed in identical bald
wigs, sporting the jaunty hats, sunglasses and
leisure suits of the television detective, belting
out tunes a la Telly with just a touch of Frank
thrown in for good measure. This absolutely
hysterical parody was performed with excellent
musicianship, flair and humor. The Kojaks took
the stage, charmed the audience and, all the
while, tossed out lollipops to the punks up front.
I was lucky enough to see the Kojaks live about a
half dozen times and still grin fondly at the
memory.
Well, now they're back! That's right and they're
goin' to Church! You know, I just realized I am
doubly blessed. Not only did I have a chance to
see the Kojaks live, I was also brought up
Catholic! This is a rich combination. And to
take it one step further, not only have I seen the
Kojaks live and experienced a Catholic upbringing,
I was also lucky enough to have experienced the
Church during the era of high masses, heavy-duty
frankincense and grade school nuns who wore yards
and yards of black cotton, sensible shoes and
large rosaries. I mean, I was there. And now,
the Kojaks bring you your very favorite Catholic
church hymns in that incredible Kojak style! Yes,
Jack, you know what I'm talkin' about. You will
laugh until your eyelashes hurt and your toes
curl. This is a great musical gift for someone
you love, so get two!
