Product Description
Carol Burnett wasn’t the only multi-talented regular on The Carol Burnett Show. Her protégé Vicki Lawrence (a.k.a. “Eunice” and “Mama”), actually did her one better by scoring a # 1 hit with “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” on the Bell label in 1973. But Vicki’s big hit wasn’t the result of her talent alone. In 1972, she married the great songwriter Bobby Russell, who penned “Georgia” and hooked her up with the legendary producer “Snuff” Garrett and arranger Artie Butler. The combo clicked not just on the song but also on the album, which went to #51 on the charts. A year later, Vicki recorded another album for Bell, Ships in the Night, again with the title song penned by Russell and production by Garrett. However, financial problems at the Bell label resulted in the album being released only in Australia, and it appears here on CD for the first time. We’ve also added the non-Bell single sides “Old Home Movies” and “The Other Woman” and an unreleased track for a total of 25 tracks from this enduring performer. Notes and photos accompany…remastered by Steve Massie.

Except that Carol was Eunice.

Jay will have a field day with this one. I think Real Gone were trying to express "Carol Burnett and her protege Vicki Lawrence, aka Eunice and Mama".

Ay caramba!

Supposedly "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia" was offered to Cher, but Sonny thought it might offend southerners. No such considerations with "Gypsys, Tramps, and Thieves" and "Half-Breed" though.

She was a pariah to the native American and Gypsy communities.

I remember seeing her perform this song on the original broadcast sitting next to my Grandmother on her couch. She was a huge Carol Burnett fan.

"The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" was the first 45 I ever bought. Looking forward to this one.
