First Day Back At School – Paul & Paula • Hot 100 effort from 1963 on the Philips label.
I Won’t Cry – Chad & Jeremy • A Fabulous Flipside from 1967 on Columbia. This was the flip of “You Are She” their LAST charted song.
Little Bride – Johnny Cooper • Played on WHK, this Song You Should Have Heard was released on Ermine back in 1962.
Push Push – Austin Taylor • Though it didn’t get any higher than #90 on the Hot 100, this Laurie release from 1960 has always been one of my favorites.
The Loneliest Man In The World – Dion • A haunting Fabulous Flipside from 1963. The flip of “This Little Girl” on Columbia.
Frozen Orange Juice – Peter Sarstedt • This tune Bubbled Under at #116 in 1969 on World Pacific.
The Pledge Of Alliegance – Red Skelton • The late comedian challenged America’s patriotism with this moving Hot 100 release back in 1969. I wonder how he’d feel today…
Joey – Shelby Flint • This 1962 Song You Should Have Heard was released on Valiant in 1962. One of the most recognizable female voices of the early 60’s.
Time Will Tell – The Majors • The Fabulous Flipside of “A Wonderful Dream” from 1962.
Love You Most Of All – Sam Cooke • The silky voiced one with a 1958 Hot 100 effort released on Keen.
Big Chief – The Motions • Local group from Cleveland with a 1964 Song You Should Have Heard.
Here, There & Everywhere – Claudine Longet • A true international listen – a French maiden with her interpretation of a British hit. This effort Bubbled Under at #126 back in 1967.

Aaron Cooper did an Internet search for his friends “long lost” songs, and to his amazement, he found a title that brought him to us. Our own Frank Kramer provided me with two songs by Dwain Story, on the Stallion label from 1965. I liked one side so much, “A Little Lovin”, I added it to our Play List, “the Honor Roll of HIts”. Aaron emailed me a couple times and from my own research, I discovered Dwain had made a pretty good name for himself in the Folk genre. I recently sent the two sides to Aaron and Dwain Story got to hear those songs for the first time since he recorded them. Turns out, there were only 300 copies pressed. Frank had no idea how rare that 45 turned out to be. Aaron let me know that Dwain had written BOTH songs in 1964 in about an hour. One year later, he finally recorded them, and 43 years later, he finally got to hear them again. Listen for Dwain Story on TUNEDEX MEMORIES!
