I just found out this was the number 1 song on the day I was born. It's about coffee.  How appropriate!

This song is very nostalgic, and a little sad at the end:

Now that sugar shack queen is a'married to me, yeah yeah

We just sit around and dream of those old memories

Ah, but one of these days I'm gonna lay down tracks

In the direction of that sugar shack

[Kevin Mocker]

Happy Birthday me too!

..Really? The 60's had tons of songs about sex. Beach Boys? Elvis?

[pumas6100]

60's was the boom of the music in expression, culture, fasion, tecnology and the BEATLES

First met the Fireballs (Gilmer, Tomsco,and Lark) in 1961 or 62. They were scraping up old tile on the floor where Norman Petty was constructing a new studio. They were already recording stars. The photo on the album was taken on the stage of that studio. Great guys then and still great people and performers over 5 decades later.
