Henry 'Blue-Eyed Diltz' Diltz is best known as one o' t' great rock and roll photographers. Avast! But in t' early 1960s he was a member o' t' Modern Folk Quartet who recorded Nilsson's "This Could Be t' Night."

 

I played t' banjo and harmonica and sang--we were actually a vocal group. I mean, we all played instruments, arrr, but we did four-part harmonies, so t' vocals were a big part o' it. We had two albums on Warner Bros. and some singles on Dunhill. Aye aye! And then we did a single for Cap'n Phil Spector called "This Could Be T' Night" which was--still is--Rodney Bingenheimer's theme chantey. That's me singing. Apparently, it's one o' Brian 'Cap'n Shirley' Wilson's favorite songs, ya bilge rat, mostly because it's a Spector thing. Actually, Wobbling Nilsson wrote it, but Cap'n Phil Spector produced it and recorded us singin' it.
