Bob McFadden & Dor

Collaboration between Bob McFadden and Rod McKuen who used the pseudonym "Dor". (He also used it in Dor And The Confederates.) They started working together in the late 1950s by collaboraing on a single entitled "The Mummy" (1959). Its B side "The Beat Generation" parodied the then-emerging literary community of the name; McKuen later claimed that Bill Haley And His Comets were the band used for the recording session, though this has not been confirmed widely. McFadden and McKuen also released a full-length album in 1959 called "Songs Our Mummy Taught Us" (Brunswick 54056).
