I first heard these guys on record at SUNY Brockport in 1966. I knew we had to get them to play live on campus. We booked them but at the last minute, the uptight college admin said we couldn't have them on campus. We hired out the old roller-rink and packed in at least 700 people. The Hot Nuts arrived in town in a big old shocking pink tour bus and literally rocked the joint. They alternated sets with the "humor songs" followed by a ballsy R&B horn band rockin set. People were impressed by their musicianship and polish for a supposed "blue" group. What a blast. These guys could party. The CD covers all of the songs they played in concert plus my favorite "Baby, let me bang your box" which came out a few years later. What memories this CD brings back! I wish I could see them live one more time! 5 big stars in my book.

I first heard to the Hot Nuts (on a record) when I was in college some 35 years ago. I still find myself singing their songs and remembering the many laughs we all had listening to their "music." I was thrilled when I found this CD as the old record I had is long gone.

The Hot Nuts are a very good R&B band. I first got hooked on the 45 of "Baby Let Me Bang Your Box" and I've never looked back. This recording sounds remarkably well, considering the age and source of the tapes that were used to make this CD. I hope that more things are released by Doug Clark And The Hot Nuts.

I did not graduate from high school until 1969. I missed those college years. However, a cousin was an avid fan of the Hot Nuts....I grew up listening to them. Two old maids; Barnacle Bill....what memories!! I'm ordering today. Does anyone know where they are today? Anything about them? Please email me. Thx

The Best of Doug Clark & the Hot Nuts CD is long overdue. It brought back many memories. It was a real hit when I played it last week at a reunion party for my fraternity buddies.

Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts. It doesn't get better (or didn't) than these guys for college memories. My first night at Sewanee as a freshman, we all motored over to listen to a band that our fathers told us about. Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, these songs live on after the death of the frontman, Doug Clark.

Long live the stories, the laughs, and the heritage.

If you went to school any time in the past 47 years, pick this up. It will take you back.

I remember hearing these songs for the first time on 8 tracks. The songs are very humerous and they make me laugh as much today as they did back in the 60's. I recommend this C.D. to anyone who would like to hear a little ribald humor. If it doesn't make you laugh you're dead.

This brings back memories of my college days in the 60's. I was fortunate enough to see them live in Carbondale Illinois. They are GREAT.

I love this greatest hits cd, I have been a fan for years and like all the songs, hope there are more to come. Its adult humor without all the foul language, which is GREAT in my book. this cd is great for parties and when some friends come over. You can't go wrong by ordering this cd you will love it.

Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts were a black band that played a lot of fraternity parties in the South during the sixties. Known for their vulgarity, they contracted to provide a "slightly gross," "gross," or "extremely gross" performance, depending upon the preference of the fraternity.

One UVA fraternity, located in an antebellum mansion, reputedly chose a "gross" performance in connection with a party it was having to which every guest brought a bottle of liquor of his own choice and poured it into a garbage can at the door, producing a "punch" with a punch.

Suddenly the guests heard a loud strummmm from the top of the winding staircase, and looked up to see . . . the Hot Nuts, totally naked. Things went downhill from there, with the fraternity ultimately being thrown off campus.

Scenes like that made the Hot Nuts a legend throughout the South. Unfortunately, their music isn't worth listening to without the show.
