Guestlisted Guitar: Tony Savarino on Eddie Van Halen and tapping
Savarino can play any style. And he does on his trilogy of LPs: "Guitaring,” “Guitaresque,” and “Guitararino.” On them the hotshot tears into classic stuff with equal amounts of reverence, pluck and cheek. He lays down Bobby Hebb's “Sunny” with lounge cool (a little Wes Montgomery in there?), carves up the Ventures' arrangement of Tchaikovsky and twists Duke Ellington's “Caravan” into a Van Halen/Yngwie Malmsteen hydra.

BOBBY HEBB MENTIONED IN NOV. 6, 2015 ARTICLE ON JAY AND THE TECHNIQUES
correction: Jerry Ross produced Bobby Hebb,
he was discovered by Ben Tucker.
We love Jerry Ross, he's one of the greatest record producers of all time, however I believe the late Ben Tucker, bassist for Herbie Mann, Art Pepper and others "discovered" the song "Sunny" - Owen Bradley and John Rich had worked with Hebb in the early days. Respectfully, Joe VIglione.

- Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie by Jay and the Techniques
In the mid-sixties Philadelphia producer Jerry Ross discovered and signed Jay and the Techniques, an R&B band fronted by singer Jay Proctor. Ross, who had also discovered Bobby Hebb (Sunny), offered the group a new song: Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie.
Hebb had already passed on the tune. “I’m raw off the street, I don’t
know anything about music, so I just opened my mouth and whatever came
out, came out,” Proctor recalled in Carolina Beach Music From the ’60s to the ’80s. “Well, whatever came out pleased him, so we got to release it.”
Ross brought in a team of crack session musicians and backup singers
that included Melba Moore, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. Proctor was
the only member of the Techniques allowed to perform. “Jerry used
session musicians on everything we did. The band was the road group, and
they never went in the studio. I asked Jerry to use them, but he just
felt they weren’t good enough because they didn’t read music well.”
