I have a video somewhere of my dad, Larry Hall, on American Bandstand or maybe it was Ed Sullivan. I was also sent some fan mags, photos, and memorabilia from when he and his parents went up and down the coast marketing his new record on the Hot label. It was eventually picked up on the Strand label. I have the original letter of intent from Harry Maslow. It was nice to look at those things from my dads past.

@gmdallas1 Ahh, please post that video, I would love to see it and I don't believe I'm alone in requesting this. Also I would love to see the photos & memorabilla, wow, I'm excited that you preserved it all and have ownership. I've always loved your Dad's music, I guess that's quite obvious. Such a nice soft pleasant voice, perfect.

Larry Hall recorded and released "Sandy" in late 1959..he also appeared on American Bandstand in late 1959..."the song got as high as # 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in January of 1960..Larry Hall also co-prduced "Suspicion" for Terry Stafford in 1964..and"The In Crowd" for Dobie Gray in 1965. He died of cancer in 1997.....a classic from the early days of rock'n'roll...

Played this song all the time on the juke box at the USC Grill in 1960......there was very

cute girl from Arcadia.....who I used to drive home occasionally in my 1954 Mercury. This

along with Jerry Keller and Here Comes Summer........awesome. Thank you Larry Hall for

a great song and great memories.

Thank you for posting this song. I have been looking for it for years. I had a crush on a girl named Sandy when I was in 4th grade. This song brings back memories of her. Hope she is happy and living well.

Thank you.

My mothers name was Sandy. When I was young, my dad told me he wrote this song for her. It wasn't until I was old enough to read the 45's label that I realized he was pulling my leg. Funny how much I wanted to believe him.

@boobeejoo This is one of those stories that hitS home with me!!! I had a reel to reel tape recording and a very large collection of 45's from the doowop era and on thru ther 70's, and all my favorites are now avaliable on something called the internet(youtube)....I know, who'd of ever thought music would be avaliable at the cllick of a mouse. I will admit not all is avaliable from the doowop era but Sandy is and that's important!..now Thx4 keeping her posted/THE INTERNET..A FINAL FRONTIER!

Thanks for posting this. My favorite cousin was named Sandy and when I was a kid we played this all the time. Later her copy got destroyed in a flood and I was lucky to find a Larry Hall cd through some strange catalog. What great songs he had. Too bad not many people got a chance to hear him. A true treasure.
