I'm a huge Beatles' fan OK? But this is the kind of stuff I was growing up on... along with singers like D D Sharp, Chubby Checker,Mary Wells,Bobby Lewis,Little Eva,Orlons & of course all the Doo Wop gems that were being played on AM radio's top 40. This particular song always got my attention to where I still remember all the lyrics & great,great background straight & up(you backup guys know what I mean) . LOVE this jam forever. Thanks for posting.

Great timeless song ,,,,,

Jordan (Jerry) Ragovoy wrote a lot of good songs. Among them "time is on my side," "cry baby," "piece of my heart," 'try ( a little bid harder," "stay with me," and 'I'm gonna rock my way to heaven," for Janis Joplin, but she died before she could record it. Jerry also went under the pen name of "Norman Meade." He was born in Phila on 9/4/30. His father was a optometrist. Jerry was one of those music guys who people never heard of. R.I.P Jerry.

This song must have inspired Please Please Me-Beatles

No they don't play oldies 50s, 60s music on the radio anymore. The generation that listened to it are fading into coffins as the music fades into dusty youtube archives. (They don't play bebop jazz on the radio anymore either. It all slips away. Someday the "radio" will stop playing Lady Gaga, too.)

I was nuts about this song when I was about 10 in Lodi New JOISEY...WMCA(570khz) WABC(770khz). Barely remember Murray the K...I think he might have been on WINS(1010khz)...Murray the K and His Swinging Soiree.
Exposed to all sorts of music in the NYC radio market....
Show Tunes, Mob Hits, Top Ten, Soul...
all on AM. WCBS FM has pretty good playlist when it was Oldies format.
Thanks for posting.
