Cannibal Stew
Jerry & Mel Cannibal Stew 45 (Boss-Sound, 1961)
Here is a killer side from San Francisco, California by the writing due of Jerry Marcellino and Mel Larson. While Jarry & Mel wrote a long string of hits for Bobby Darin and various Motown Artists (mostly the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson), they only produced one record under their own name and this is it. Cannibal Stew is actually the B-side and is certainly the better of the two songs (the A is Once Upon a Time, an uneventful teen rock & roll ballad) and a good example of a rock & roll cannibal song, of which there are plenty good ones. I'm too tired to rattle on more so I'll leave you with the song.
