Afternoon Delight by Starlight Vocal Band. I loved the vocal harmonies when I was a kid. They also co-wrote Take me home country roads. Bill and Taffy Danoff were John Denver's musician & back up singers called "Fat City".

Has to be "Earth Angel," by the Penguins. They never made another hit. In fact, the B side, "Hey Senorita" (Let Me Take You Home) stank so bad that if you played it once you never played it again.
I used to go to doo-wop shows and I once suggested they get the Penguins together for the next one. They did, but not one original Penguin was there. The show, at Radio City, was great though. The Heartbeats did "You're a Thousand Miles Away-hay" (rat-a-tat) and they brought the house down.

Interesting.."Earth Angel was a such a big hit..it usually makes any TOP 100 all time hit list..that I assumed they'd had a string of hits..
I was a freshman at NYU in 64 when the Beach Boys came east..trying to counter the British Invasion..I caught all four shows at the Academy of Music on 14th street..

"A World without love" by Peter & Gordon. Most probably thought it was The Beatles. McCartney's ex brother in law recorded the song and IIRC Lennon & McCartney wrote it.
Saturday Morning Confusion by Bobby Russell. He wrote The night the lights went out in Georgia and his wife Vickie Lawrence sang it. Not sure if Russell had any hits he sang.
Daisy a Day by Jud Strunk. Shannon by Henry Gross. A song he and Carl Wilson's conservation about the death of a pet dog lead to. Carl was supposed to have sang the chorus but counld't make it to the recording session.
Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and Cotton Eyed Joe by Isaac Peyton Sweat.

Thought of another great one, from maybe 1963 or 1964. A great dance cut. I was having a party on the weekend so I went to a record store and the only thing I could find that I thought people might dance to was Wooly Bully, by Sam the Sham and the Pharohs.
At the right moment, I put it on the turntable, and the entire room was up and dancing in a second!
To: firebrand
Great song...and remember the story that if you played it at 33 rpm, you could hear Sam yelling “hand job” after Wooly Bully?

No, I don’t remember that. LOL.
They play a Beach Boy song in Starbux at Christmastime. Something about Little Old Saint Nick? I always stop what I’m doing to listen to that one.
To: cva66snipe
I didn’t know that. I was a big John Denver fan as a kid, too, and learned to play a lot of his music on the piano.
