Dear my3rdheaven - You are incorreect.

Yes, this is the Dave Clark Five singing "Everybody Knows". This is from late 1967/1968. It is a different song than the 1964 Dave Clark Five hit "Everybody Knows (I Still Love You)" Dave Clark wrote the 1964 rocker. This 1967/1968 ballad was written by Les...

One of rockabilly's greatest perfromers and one who died way too young. Born in Oklahoma and raised in Albert Lea, Minnesota. He first recorded in the country music field in 1954 at the ripe old age of 16. Killed in a car wreck in 1960 while on tour in England with Gene Vincent.

"Jeannie Jeanni...

The Parkays were staff musicians for Stax/Volt Records out of Memphis. They also did sesion work for the Mar-Keys and The Bar-Kays.

Thank you for all of the photo's of this incredibly gifted woman. From rocker to pop favorite and beyond. We Americans have only ourselves to blame for not discovering how wonderfully

talented she is. We missed so much by not fully embracing from the beginning. "Il Cielo In Una Stanza" should ha...

My God, this lady is incredible. From rock and roll in 1958 to the beautiful woman and marvelous talent she became and remains today. Truly one of the greatest talents of our time.

Of course, we Americans are to foolish to notice. Shame on us.

A great version of the Ed Townsend #13 1958 hit. It deserved a better fate than a mere #93 pop chart position. It should have sold millions of copies, just as the Ed Townsend original should have.

Freddy/Freddie King used two different spelling version's of his first name.

On singles he used the spelling Freddy. Like on Hide Away, San-Ho-Zay, You've Got To Love Her With A Feeling, Lonesome Whistle Blues and a dozen more.

On LP's the true spelling of his first name, Freddie, was used. Who ...

Recorded in 1954 by The Teardrops released on Joise Records 45rpm #766.

Re-released in 1960 on Port Records 45rpm #70019.

Pure, unadulterated Doo-Wop. Absolutely perfect.

Joe died at the young age of 27. That is so sad. What a great talent. Joe also co-wrote this song.

This is not the original 1963 recording from Bacharach on Kapp Records. The original had more chorus at the beginning. It made it to #93 on August 10th of 1963 and was on the Billboard Magazine Hot 100 for 3 weeks.

Would love to see "If I'm A Fool For Lovin' You" on this site. Thank you.

Once and for all - This is not Jimmy Gilmer!

Harry -

No pic of Smiley Lewis? Appreciate the use of the pics of other true artists. Even an older Don Cherry and Nappy. Very nice video. Good job.

Song is from the mid-50's, 1956.

9thWardJukeBoxAnX -

You're welcome and Happy New Year to you as well.

Ginny Gibson did wind up on the TV version of "Your Hit Parade" for the 1957-58 season.

It was Don Costa's Orchestra behind Ginny on this, her one chart hit. She deserved better.

Thanks for this two-sider. I like Kitty's recording of "Teen Age Prayer" better than the bigger selling versions by Gloria Mann or Gale Storm. Nicely cleaned-up.

@polycarpx - You are absolutely correct. Harrison first had Billy Preston record this song, but the single went nowhere. After he recorded it there was some talk of "Oh Happy Day" but that was in "Public Domain" so no problem there. It was after George's version started to climb the charts tha...

It was originally recorded by "The Flying Machine". This Royal Teens group recorded this in the style of "LIttle Darlin'" as a novelty. I douby if any of the original Royal Teens were even in the studio for this 1969 recording session for Musicor Records. The flip side is a take-off on The Beat...

Three chart records and they should have had, at least, a half dozen more. This was their last release on ABC Paramount before going to Mighty Records and then Capitol Records where their last chart hit "Believe me" was released. The group recorded for Swan Records and TCF Hall Records in the m...

2nd only to the 1961 Jimmy Elledge version. Both should have been million sellers and both should have made it to the #1 slot on the Billboard Pop chart. Willie Nelson wrote this classic and recorded it himself in 1962. Great version by Willie as well.

Ali Hazen replaced Ernie Freeman on piano for this B. Bumble & The Stingers hit. The rest of the crew is the same, Tommy Tedesco on guitar, Earl Palmer on drums and Red Callender on bass. This was first recorded earlier in 1962 by Freeman, Palmer & Rene Hall on guitar as Jack B. Nimble and the ...

Another fantastic song from the voice and pen of Marty Robbins. He was one of the greatest performes and songwriters in the history of the music industry. He may have passed at the young age of 57 in December of 1982, but his memory will live forever.

Ernie also recorded as B. Bumble and The Stingers ((Bumble Boogie #21 pop chart hit in 1961 ) and as Jack B. Nimble (original recording of "Nut Rocker" in 1962). FYI "Beautiful Obsession' by Ernie Freeman (Sir Chauncy & His Exciting Strings) is available on YouTube.

Ernie also recorded as "B. Bumble & The Stingers", "Sir Chancey" (The haunting hit "Beautiful Obsession") and he was the mastermind behind the recording of "National City" by a group of

studio musicians who were named "The Joiner Arkansas Junior High Schoo Band". Of course, there was no Joiner, A...

@PrettyVillan - Ray Price, 109 Country chart hits - 45 Top 10 hits - 43 weeks in the #1 position - 11 Pop chart hits -

Including "For The Good Times" which spent 24 weeks on the Pop charts. His first chart hit was in 1952 and he was still charting hits in 1990. He's still touring. The question ...

Buried3030 - Thank you for this all but forgotten George Jones hit (#6 Country chart) This beauty was written by George and J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper) who also wrote the George Jones #1 hit "White Lightning" which was the next record release for George.

9thWardJukebox. You're welcome. And, again, thank you for this super-clean upload.

Harry Doyle, Tommy Duffy and Tom Morrissey from Brooklyn, N.Y. They deserved more hit records. Their version of "Bluebirds Over The Mountain" should have sold millions. The Echoes were a genuine great Doo-Wop group.

A truly under-appreciated rockabilly artist. His first recording was in 1949 when he was just 15 years-old. It is called "Upside Down" and it was released on the Apollo Record label #761.

Rare DooWop -Thanks for the upload. It is Capitol Records, not Capital Records. This sounds like a song written by Jerry Fuller, who wrote many hits over the years for Rick Nelson, "Travelin' Man", "Young World", "It's Up To You" and more. "Young Girl", "Lady Willpower" and Over You" for Gary Puc...

As a radio disc jockey, from San Diego to Jacksonville, for over thirty years 1962-1995

I must tell you I had never heard this record. I began recording collecting in 1954 and have more than 100,000 titles in my files. But not his one, until now. Thank you for the upload.

Jimmy recorded the summital version of "Funny How Time Slips Away" in 1961. No version before or since has come close to Jmmy's perfect recording. Jimmy, like Narvel Felts, possessed one the greatest voices in pop-country music history. Both deseved a far better fate from radio muisc and progra...

Also available on the album "Floyd Cramer Gets Organ-ized", if you are ever lucky enough to find a copy of that 1962 LP. RCA Victor Records LP #LSP-2428. The flip side of this 45rpm single is Floyd's version of the Glenn Miller 1941 million seller "Chattanooga Choo Choo". It was a #36 Pop char...

Great doo-wop record from 1959. This group released three singles on Alanna Records and one on Robbee Records in 1960. This is a white doo-wop group from Pittsburgh. Bill Stammer and Ched Mertz formed the group with lead singer Dan McGinnis and bass voice Don Fanzo. The guys had all graduated fr...

A super rare track from Ronnie. It was a one-off recording for Kapp Records and released in 1963. Kapp Records 45rpm #546. The flip side is "Houdini Blues".

Thank you Markowee for posting this great Ronnie Self cut.

Any info on year of release, record label and record label number?

Any chart info, if it charted? I would be so grateful for any information.

Great version.

The original French lyrics by Brel came down to another cheating wife song.

French country music lyrics? Who knew! The Fortunes also have a version that is much closer to the orginal Jacques Brel intent and is, at least, equal to this interpretation by the Kingston Trio.

Half of the great songwriting team of Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman - "Save The Last Dance For Me", "Little Sister", "A Teenager In Love", "Hushabye", "Suspicion", "Go Jimmy Go", "This Magic Moment", "(Marie's The Name) Of His Latest Flame"" and tons of other hits.

Shuman died in 1991 at the age of 54.

It is a shame that "Viva Bob Moore" is not available on CD. It is/was a great LP. Bob did some great tracks while at Hickory Records including "Only The Lonely". Of course Bob was the lead man on all of Roy's recordings on Monument and this was a tribute to Roy as was the later Hickory single (...

Dickey Lee (Lipscomb) wrote this song and it was his first commercial release. Right after this he recorded for Sun Records (two releases) and then a one-off for Dot Records. "Dream Boy" was re-released on Rendezvous Records in 1962 after Dickey had his first chart success with "Patches" on Smash...
