The Lone Ranger rides again!!

I wonder if Eddie Floyd ever thought his song from '66 would ever turn out like this?

This was a big Dance Club hit in '78, but a scaled down version hit Billboards Hot 100 List 3/4/78

peaked at #36, but it was on the chart 14 weeks!

Charted 1/27/79 on Billboard's Hot 100 list, peaked at no. 4 sold a million copies!

Song charted on Billboard's Hot 100 list 3/23/68, peaked at no.7, and was charted 12 weeks.

Isn't it amazing that there wasn't a Chevy Van before this song came out? Following the sucess of this tune GM turned out a Chevy Van in '75, and the rest is history!

I wonder if JoAnn ever took any piano lessons or did she do like a lot of muscians did back then...play by ear?

Great song by two of the best guitatarists ever!

Haley charted twice dring her Disney Career, this one hit Billboards List 9/4/61, peaked at no.8 and was charted for 14 weeks. The other one "Johnny Jingo" landed on 3/17/62, peaked at 21 and was on the chart fo 11 weeks!

The first time I played this song on the radio our switchboard lite up like a Xmas tree! Drove our receptionest nuts! Frank charted on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 List 1/27/79 went to #3 and was a million seller. A suprise hit during the "Disco Era"

The guy whose dad played sax for the Rock-A-Teens can tell you as can I, this song charted 10/5/59, peaked at no.16, and stayed on the charts for 12 weeks. It has one of the best drum solo's ever put down on wax!

Charted 7/20/59, peaked at #20, and was on the chart 18 weeks.

Christopher is a very talented young man! If he ever does get on Ellen, She will be very amazed! Watch out Justin Beiber! He's only 6 years old.

Great drum work by ex Music Explosion drummer Bob Avery!

You bet I remember the Viet Nm War....I was there myself!

On an American Bandstand show in '72, this was the second lowest rated record on the show ever! Song was released anyway, and charted 2/26/72, spent 22 weeks charted and peaked at #4 Guess teenagers don't always know music!

By the way it sold a million copies.

Which was the bigger hit Sting-A-L ongs version or Billy Vaughn's? String-A-Longs charted first 1/9/61, peaked at no.3 and was charted for 16 weeks. Billy's version charted 2/6/61 peaked at #28 and charted for only 8 weeks.

The 4 you see in the background means this song was the 4th most popular country jukebox hit of all time!

The second British Group to appear on Ed Sullivan! We all know who was first!

I have always like this version of this song rather than the country version by Ernie Ashworth!

charted 3/16/59, stayed there for 18 weeks, 2 of them at no.2! By the way, got their name from a newly purchased chevy car!

The first British Group to have a no. 1 hit in the USA! Charted on Billboad's Hot 100 List 11/3/62, stayed there for 3 weks, on the chart 16 weks in all!

I think this song would have been a no. 1 hit except for a guy named Elvis Presley!

Song charted on Billboard's Hot 100 List 1/9/61, peaked at no. 6 and was on the chart 14 weeks! Buzz Clifford was a one hit wonder with this song. By the way he did not sing Alley Oop, Gary Paxton did!

After the solo thing, Kiss got back together and their first album was titled "Dynasty"

So as not to be forgoten during Disco, they released this song. It was as close to Disco as they could come. Turned out to be their second biggest hit, following "Beth" it peaked on Billboard's Hot 100 list ...
