Sixties Sunday Sounds!

I've just been playing some songs from the 1096-1963 era and realised how little they are heard in this day and age. In fact I can't remember hearing them on mainstream radio in the last 20 years. Here's 10 that I love. What do you think?

Freddy Cannon - Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy - April 1960 - US #34 - UK Didn't Chart



Johnny Preston - Cradle Of Love - April 1960 - US #7- UK Didn't Chart



Billy Bland - Let The Little Girl Dance - April 1960 - UK #15 - US #7



Sam Cook - That's It- I Quit - I'm Movin' On - May 1961 - US #31 - UK Didn't Chart



The Drifters - I Count The Tears - February 1961 - UK #28 - US #17



Eddie Cochran - Stockin's & Shoes - December 1961 - Didn't Chart in UK or USA (B side in UK)



The Dovells - Do The New Continental - March 1962 - US # 37 - UK Didn't Chart (B side)


The Orlons - Don't Hang Up - December 1962 - UK #39 - US #4



Trini Lopez - Sinner Not A Saint - 1963 - Didn't Chart in UK or USA



Jimmy Soul - If You Wanna Be Happy - April 1963 - UK #39 - US #1



Here's the thing. These are all great songs that are ignored these days. These songs are part of the reason I do the Missing In Action show. I'd hate to see these songs get forgotten,
