Yep,Summer of 1963.You got that right.
Man,I have to leave for work now but I need your help in identifying two songs for me:
Que Sera Sera by the Five Keyes-I THINK they did it-from Summer of 1963 and a song that went "Beware,beware,you better beware or you ain't a gonna get nowhere"by an R and B group from around 1960.
Thanks,speedy.
Riverman -- the only R&B song I know like that is "Beware" by Louis Jordan, which of course would have been earlier than 1960, but somebody could have remade it. I'm probably not being much help here.
A 1963 R&B (sort of) favorite of mine was "I Know, I Know" by Pookie Hudson. Also Baby Washington "That's How Heartaches Are Made."
I'm a music collector, and as a librarian, I make my living answering reference questions, but you've thrown me a stumper. I can't find a record of any recording of "Que Sera, Sera" by the Five Keys, who on about four different labels during the 1950's and early 1960's. They don't seem to have released it as a single, but it may be on an LP.
The other song in question may be "Beware" by Jesse Belvin & The Capris, from 1959. This was a regional hit in Southern California and was also recorded by The Innocents, another Southern California group, in 1961. However, I haven't heard it in a while and don't remember how the lyrics go.
