"Runaway" was a #1 Billboard Hot 100 song made famous by Del Shannon in 1961. It was written by Shannon and keyboardist Max Crook, and became a major international hit. It is #466 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

This became a chart-topper in 1965 for Domingo “Sam” Samudio, otherwise known as Sam the Sham. After paying to record and press records to sell at gigs, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs wound up on the Pen label in Memphis. There, they recorded their first and biggest hit, "Wooly Bully", selling 3 million copies and reaching #2 on the Billboard charts on 5 June 1965 at a time when American pop music charts were dominated by the British Invasion. It was awarded a gold disc.

Sam the Sham was known for his camp robes and turban and hauling his equipment in a 1952 Packard hearse with maroon velvet curtains. Samudio, who is of Mexican American descent, made his singing debut in second grade, representing his school in a radio broadcast. Later, he took up guitar and formed a group with friends, one of whom was Trini Lopez. After graduating from high school, Samudio joined the Navy, where he was known as "Big Sam."

After six years in the Navy, Samudio enrolled in college, studying classical music and playing rock and roll at night. He says, "That lasted about two years, before I dropped out and became a carny." In Dallas in 1961, Sam formed "The Pharaohs," inspired by the 1956 film "The Ten Commandments". In 1962 the group made a record that did not sell and The Pharaohs disbanded.

In 1963 Sam joined former Pharoh Vincent Lopez playing for Andy and The Nightriders in Louisiana at The Congo Club. It was here that Sam became known as "The Sham". In June 1963, The Nightriders headed for Memphis, Tennessee and became house band at The Diplomat. In late summer 1963, Andy Anderson and Vincent Lopez left to return to Texas. Sam and David A. Martin replaced them with Jerry Patterson and Ray Stinnett and changed the name to "Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs." Shortly thereafter, the band added saxophonist Butch Gibson.

Although "Wooly Bully" never reached #1, it lingered on the Billboard Hot 100 for a record breaking 18 weeks, 14 of which were in the Top 40. It became the first Billboard "Number One Record of the Year" not to have ever been #1 on the weekly Hot 100 and remained the only one for 35 years until 2000.

"Wild Thing" was written by New York City-born songwriter Chip Taylor. Originally recorded by The Wild Ones in 1965, the best known 60s version is the 1966 cover by the English band The Troggs which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1966 and peaked at #2 in Britain.
"Wild Thing" by The Troggs is ranked #257 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It features (perhaps) the only ocarina solo in the history of rock'n'roll.

Hey, Ms. B.

Just sitting around watching Drumbo relive my youth. Good stuff tonight.

[luvie]

Well, I did sign off with the last tune, as usual, but I was
kinda tired so after not seeing you around, I went off line
and read for a few minutes before going to sleep.

Since I’ve had this big bad cold, I haven’t got my stamina back. LOL!

Sure missed ya, though!

This toe-tappin' Bo Diddly beat record went to #11 in the United States in 1965.
