In 1966, a toy company in Newark, New Jersey released a children's record called Batman and Robin to cash in on the popular Adam West TV series of the same name. The music on the LP was credited to "The Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale," but in fact the band was one of the greatest uncredited session combos of all time, including the core of Sun Ra's Arkestra and Al Kooper's Blues Project. It's all instrumental, with the exception of Robin's Theme, featuring an uncredited vocalist who I hope some reader will be able identify. Al Kooper, from The Blues Project, has claimed that he did not participate in the session.

Dan & Dale:

Sun Ra (organ), John Gilmore (tenor saxophone), Marshall Allen (alto saxophone), Pat Patrick (bass), Jimmy Owens (trumpet), Tom McIntosh (trombone), Danny Kalb (guitar), Andy Kulberg (bass), Steve Katz (guitar), Roy Blumenfeld (drums).
