Dion still gets plays on the jukebox in my local bar - usually The Wanderer and Ruby Baby.

Made me think of this Rush classic:

I'm a Philanderer

[BBB333]

From the golden days of Rush:

“I’m Ted Kennedy, I’m Ted Kennedy,”

“I’m a philanderer, I’m a philanderer.”

“I sleep around, around, around, around, around, around, AROUND!”

[Red Badger]

I barely remember 1961..................

[1Old Pro]

Don’t forget Ray Charles:
“Hit the Road Jack” is a song written by the rhythm and blues artist Percy Mayfield and recorded by Ray Charles. The song was a US number 1 hit in 1961, and won a Grammy award for Best Rhythm and Blues Recording, becoming one of Charles’ signature songs.

Another 1961 classic:

My brother bought a metallic blue one in '68 for $300. Sold it to me three years later for $400 (he had put new tires and rims on it.)

Great car

A fantastic post for the 63rd anniversary of “The Day The Music Died”, February 3rd, 1959. Dion was on that tour.

[Bullish]

Yuck... Not for me.

1961. I was 13 years old.
My folks and I sailed from Yokohama to Oakland on an MSTS ship after nearly a decade overseas. California looked damned good to me...

[Dr. Sivana]

1961 was when Del Shannon’s top single “Runawau” was released.

[Fiji Hill]

This is one of my favorites from 1961. It's full of celebrities including Congo-Leopoldville premier Patrice Lumumba, Cuban premier Fidel Castro, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev, Indian premier Jawalharlal Nehru, Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, and so on. In a later version, Lumumba's reference was cut out following his murder in January, 1961.

Top 40, News, Weather & Sports--Mark Dinning

[Fiji Hill]

Here's another of my favorites--about an astronaut who wants one last cup of java before flying into space.

I'll Have Another Cup of Coffee--Claude Gray

[Fiji Hill]

One of my favorite songs of the entire decade of the sixties.

Every Time I See the Sun Go Down--Melvin Endsley (1961)

[Poser]

Let’s not forget Connie Francis singing Where the Boys Are.

[Albion Wilde]
