"There were, meanwhile, several studio musicians hired to play on 'I Only Have Eyes For You', and it was Terry Johnson who told them exactly what he wanted. This included having them switch the rhythm from a standard pulsating, sub‑divided bass line in 6/8 to an elongated bass line that created a counter‑melody.
"Everybody was playing that same figure,” he recalls, "and I said, 'No, no, no, you can't do that.' I told the piano player, 'Hold the five of that chord and don't change with us.' He said, 'Don't change?' and I said, 'That's right, just play the five chords and let the chorus revolve around that.' I basically wanted triplets, which was that '50s feel, but I wanted him to stay on that chord. It was kind of weird at first, but then I had the guitarist, Smiley — who was the nicest guy, he was always mellow and always had a smile on his face — play the third of the chord and put vibrato on it. He thought that was nice, and I also had the drummer play with brushes to make sure it didn't sound too big."

I agree, The Fleetwoods, The Flamingos, besides dramatically upping the ante on "makeout music" in '59, these were quite the leap, "ProtoPsychedelic" even in arrangements. Producer George Goldner, engineer Allen Weintraub and Flamingos member Terry Johnson evidently crafted that arrangement. (The original doesn't show up but is on the Internet Archive):

Thought you'd like it! Not to mention the earlier Lester Bowie, a fun version of that song, more "pops" but in line with this "jazzbo" ("free-jazzbo"?) set.

They were kinda pricks and full of themselves, the not-so-mellow side of mellow - but some of their tunes are quite great (I prefer the earlier, country sounds. Though Joe Walsh lent some great guitaring to their later years.)

The BBC had a good doco on these dynamics, focusing on the Police and their tensions among others. Someone said a great line about how five or six mellow guys sitting around don't typically make amazing music! There are good and bad sides to fiercely creative people collaborating and competing with each other.

But since he was a part of mid-to-late King Crimson, perhaps he and the other members came together because they wanted a more straightforward hard rock sound, and found some success as pure "prog" faded.

i'll imagine the backpack belonged to Karel, henceforth. i think it was a west german issued. it was made well, but the leather pieces have made me uncomfortable for the past couple of decades. it was well made by today's standards, but it's been slowly coming apart too.

'Technique is just a way of arriving @ a Statement.'
How we get there matters less than getting there.
But then ...does it Arrive ?
& ...what *is* the Statement ?? (Is it in other words Relevant ?)
I find I'm really weary of very simple & super-repetitive Machine Beats right now. & people getting exalted as 'Geniuses' when all they did was push a few buttons. Acknowledging that this a reflexive unconscious reaction - not a reasoned intellectual opinion about it. But ...Music is about that - how you feelz. Also true ...I'm a not very Dancey white male of a certain vintage now...

1. Burnt the roof of my mouth on a hot meatball
2. But my tongue 50 min ago( whilst eating meatball) and it won’t stop bleeding terribly.
3. Saw a crow dive into tree and amid flapping commotion flew off with a baby robin.
4. Minutes later another squirming baby robin of 3 inches was left on my patio table.
5. Still bleeding ( me)
