Chuck Berry Tribute by Freddy 'Boom Boom' Cannon

 

 

FREDDY “BOOM BOOM” CANNON
DEBUTS
NEW SONG ON Me TV

Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon, who holds the record as the recording artist
with the most performances on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand (110),
debuted his new tune on National TV Labor Day Weekend.

The tune, "the Svengoolie Stomp," was inspired by one of Freddy's favorite TV shows, seen Saturday nights on Me TV. A long time
fan of scary movies, when Freddy isn't touring on weekends he watches Svengoolie host old horror and sci fi films. Svengoolie has been
played by Rich Koz since 1979. Koz, a former radio air talent before he became a well known and award winning TV personality,
started playing the movie host character in Chicago, where the show is still produced, however now Svengoolie's show has expanded
and is seen in all 50 states.

Cannon, well known for his early rock hits including "Palisades Park" and "Tallahassee Lassie," said he came up with his latest creation when
a friend suggested he write a song about monsters. Having watched many late night horror movie shows over the years, Freddy felt Koz's Svengoolie
was the best he had seen. "Rich does an incredible job. I love his humor and he's always well researched with the tidbits he shares about his films."

Having never met Koz, Freddy wrote and recorded the "Svengoolie Stomp," based solely on his passion for the show and the character.
Cannon sent it without advance notice to the Me TV studios. Koz said "You can't imagine what a thrill it is for me to have a
great talent whose music I've enjoyed for so long to actually create a song about me."

"Freddy has perfectly combined the good time rock & roll he's famous for with the spirit of what we do on my show-and, believe me, our show
has had its share of spirits," said Koz.

In preparation for the national debut of the "Svengoolie Stomp," Cannon flew to Chicago from L.A. to film the music video on the set of the TV show.
In addition to Cannon and Koz in the video, viewers will recognize cameos from a number of celebrities from the world of music and TV.

Svengoolie introduced the new tune during his showing of Lon Chaney in "Frozen Ghost" this Saturday, Sept. 3rd, 2016 10pm, (9pm, central) on Me TV.

"The Svengoolie Stomp" will be available for downloading Sept 4 on iTunes. Plus, a collector's edition vinyl 45 RPM copy of the tune can
