Talk about confusion, the cover reads "John Elliott and his Diatonic 4" while the liner notes yammer on and on about the versatility of the Hammond organ, then provide a few brief paragraphs on "Don Elliott". Since I can find other references to Don Elliott, including performing on "Mambo For Cats" (who knew there was music connected with the iconic Jim Flora album cover) I'm assuming the keyboard player is indeed Don Elliott.
Well, I like some of the cuts on this album and hope that all the disrespect didn't cause Joh...er, Don to cry into his pillow every night. And is the title Organ Rhythms, or Adventure in Sound? And were they the Diatonic 4 or the Diatonic Four?
Eh, who cares, give Diga Diga Doo a listen, whoever the hell is responsible.
Organ Rhythms

The movie $ (Dollars) with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn had a great soundtrack by Quincy Jones. Several tracks featured wordless vocals attributed to the Don Elliot Singers.
There is at least one other record out there by this group--"Adventure in Sound". The name on the cover is "John Elliott".
What wonderful organ rhythms ~ thanks! From what I understand, the group had actually changed their name to Don Elliott and the Diabetic 4 by the early 1980s.
