Good evening, Maestro - Thanks very much for this one - I remember it well, although I have not heard it for over four decades.

It was a fascinating era, the calm before the storm.

#8: Robin Luke: “Susie Darlin’”

Robin Luke (1942-) was living in Honolulu in 1958 when he wrote and recorded “Susie Darlin’,” a song named after his five year old sister. The record sold over one million copies, earning him a Gold Record. He continued to record but was unable to repeat his success.

But there is life after showbiz. Until his retirement, he was professor and head of the Marketing Department at Missouri State University in Springfield. Today he looks like Jon Voight.

Missing Man Setting

"The Empty Chair"

By Captain Carroll "Lex" Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

"In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture. The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER."

#46: The Moonglows: “The Ten Commandments of Love”

Fresh off a stint in the Army, friends Harvey Fuqua and Bobby Lester formed a duo in 1949 in Louisville. In 1951, Fuqua moved to Cleveland and formed the Crazy Sounds with vocalists Danny Coggins and Prentiss Barnes. Lester joined them later.

In 1952, while performing in Cleveland, the Crazy Sounds auditioned for the club’s management. They in turn got in touch with DJ Alan Freed, who upon hearing them, became their manager. In 1953, Freed renamed the group the Moonglows. They signed with Freed’s Champagne label, but their recordings failed, and Coggins left the group, replaced by Alexander Walton.

In September 1953, Freed moved to WINS in New York. His success led the Moonglows to a deal with Chess Records, a much more successful label. Their first Chess single, “Sincerely,” led by Lester, hit #1 on the R&B charts and made the Top 20 of the pop charts.

Freed was unashamed of the wealth he generated from payola, which ended up being his downfall. He gave the rooms in his mansion names like the Decca Room and the Columbia Room. It’s questionable just how much money Harvey Fuqua and the boys got for themselves under Freed’s management.

This particular song was intended for really slow dancing, the kind that Henry Miller characterized as “sex with your clothes on.”

This last single marked the end of the group. Harvey Fuqua went to Detroit to work with a fellow named Berry Gordy. The rest was history.

#7: Little Anthony & the Imperials: “Tears on My Pillow”/”Two People in the World”

In 1957, they were known as the Chesters: Clarence Collins, Tracy Lord, Nathaniel Rodgers and Ronald Ross. Anthony Gourdine, a former member of the Duponts, joined up as lead vocalist. Ernest Wright took over from Ross, and the group became the Imperials because R&B groups named after cars were hot at the time – remember the Edsels and the Cadillacs?

Alan Freed, the DJ who inserted his fingers into everything in the early days of rock and roll, named Gourdine “Little Anthony.” The microphones of the era hid the fact that Gourdine spoke with a pronounced lisp.

Little Anthony & the Imperials: “Tears on My Pillow”

This was a two-sided hit. The other side was “Two People in the World,” a celebration of male and female, a view that is considered old fashioned and politically incorrect today. It was co-written by Richie Barrett, who would later become one of the great producers in the business for decades, playing a role well into the Disco Era.

Little Anthony & the Imperials: “Two People in the World”

The band was to surprise everyone six years later when they recast themselves with a new producer and new sound to record hits all over again.
