The Delegates
The Delegates were a novelty song group who scored a hit in the United States in 1972. The "band" was actually Bob DeCarlo, the morning disc jockey at KQV in Pittsburgh, Penn. Bob was approached by Nick Cenci and Nick Kousaleous, local Pittsburgh record moguls, to make a novelty record.〔Radio & Records Magazine, Aug. 10, 1984〕 Bob and the two record men assembled "Convention '72," a "break-in" record which consisted of Bob "imitating" several popular television reporters of the day, including Walter Cronkite ("Walter Klondike"), Chet Huntley ("Sidney Bruntley"), David Brinkley ("David Stinkley," as a flamboyantly gay reporter - for some reason) and Harry Reasoner ("Larry Reasoning") asking questions of current politicians involved in that year's presidential election (such as Thomas Eagleton, Sargent Shriver, Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon, Edward Kennedy, George McGovern, Martha Mitchell, Jane Fonda and Henry Kissinger) at a joint national "Get Together" convention of Republicans and Democrats, with the responses given as lines from popular songs of the day (in a manner analogous to that made famous by Dickie Goodman). These tunes included, "The Candy Man," "Troglodyte," "Sealed With a Kiss," "Lean On Me," "I Don't Know How To Love Him," "Funky Worm," "Double Barrel," "I Gotcha" and "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want To Be Right)," among others. "Convention '72" was a one-hit wonder that year, peaking at #8 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart on Nov. 18, 1972.〔(The Delegates ) at Allmusic.com〕 Bob later recorded an album by "The Delegates" which included the hit single as well as a cover of the Frank Sinatra hit "My Way" and a segment called "Interviews with Your Favorite Politicians."
