Thank you! My Guy...and Smoke...2 of my all time favorites. Here’s a few more backatcha (you have created a monster!)...

Chiffons, One Fine Day

Drifters, Stand by Me (hope this is not a dupe...I’m getting tired)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaqjpfZJjpk

Little Eva, Locomotion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNNW0SPkChI

Little Anthony and the Imperials, Think I’m Going Out of My Head
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkCa5l_UGAk

Dixie Cups, Iko Iko
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB3gQl2WFZI

Supremes, Come See About Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47xJhnEOVI

You have no idea how you’ve lifted my spirits this evening...I mean, Dixie Cups Iko Iko!!!! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that one...another world ago.

This is going to sound weird and kind of out of the blue, but...I wonder if the (so-called) star witness in the Zimmerman trial has ever heard even one of these wonderful songs?

I live very close to New Orleans. The Dixie Cups are from NOLA. Iko Iko is a staple during the parade season. This video can explain the origins better then I can.

IKO IKO - meaning of the real words and their origin

Although I am too young to have been in Vietnam here is a song that some of the vets I know said were popular over there

The Shirelles - Soldier Boy

Bobby Vinton - Mr. Lonely

Fats Domino is from NOLA and he still lives here. His piano was ruined by Katrina and it was just recently restored and given back to him. He does not perform anymore but he still makes public appearances.
