Titus And Ross - Titus And Ross (Reissue) (1970/2008)

Marion, IN, musicians Jack Ross and Art Titus formed Titus & Ross in the late '60s and cut a handful of odd (and scarily collectable) sides before disappearing at the end of the decade. Two singles, in particular, were notable for being composed for use by ABC's Wide World of Sports program -- "Cycle Thing" being created to accompany ABC's coverage of the 1969 Pepperell Motocross race, and "Jean Claude What's-His-Name" accompanying coverage of a 1969 French slalom skiing competition. The group also penned tunes for other commercial interests during this time -- notably the track "Summer Clouds" for Eastern Airlines. Their collected singles were issued as a self-titled full-length LP in 1970 and reissued in CD format by Fall Out Records in late 2007. ~ J. Scott McClintock
