Totally forgotten hits

[Circa 1824]

I love to re-find forgotten music from my youth.

I just re-found “Shame Shame” by the Magic Laterns. I don’t think it is ever played on the oldies channels.

Can you think of other forgotten hits?

[daviddesper]

Good grief!!! How long have you got????????????

Seriously I would not even know where to start so I will let others run with it if they want to.

Sleepwalk by Santo and Johnny is certainly great and very rarely heard.

also, Wives and Lovers and The Race is On, both by Jack Jones.

I watched Godzilla vs Kong earlier this week and it opened with Bobby Vinton's version of Over The Mountain, Across The Sea which was a distant second to the original by Johnny and Joe. I've been playing this version for the past several days on my computer and in my head:

Chuck Berry singing "It Wasn't Me [Baby]" for an Amazon Prime grocery delivery.
Hard to get it out of my head. Wish it would keep going. When can you say
that about a TV commercial?

Of course, nothing by Chuck Berry can be "totally forgotten."

Take a look at the thread "Word Association" sometime. It is probably near the top of Clubhouse here? You would love it.

Funny[walter jackson]...slow down heart[temptations]...i like your lovin[chi-lites]... I'm alright[lil anthony an the imperials]...memphis tennessee[chuck berry].

[144man]

This is hard for me as I don't know what were hits over there.
How about
Oo Wee Baby I Love You - Fred Hughes
Mama Didn't Lie - Jan Bradley
The Sweetest Thing This Side of Heaven = Chris Bartley
Hallelujah - The Invitations
Jerk And Twine - Jackie Ross
Gone for Good - O.V. Wright

[arr&bee]

Now you're talkin 144man,[gone for good] [the sweetest thing this side of heaven] are killers,keep em comin!!

[splanky]

This is gonna sound weird but I didn't hear Chris Bartley's The Sweetest Thing til years after I'd been enjoying the version by The Presidents. If I'm remembering right it was a
b-side of 5 10 15 20 [[25 years of love). The Temptations apparently liked it too as Otis
referrenced the lyrics on their Live At London's Talk Of The Town...

[arr&bee]

Hey splanky,do you remember the little known[alone with no love-the contemplations-1969]? Didn't sell a hundred copies when releaesed but today is much sought after[a copy goes for 500.00]if you can find one.

Never heard of it until you brought it up. Had to check it out...

Hey splanky,i got another groove for ya,this one is a b-side though[forever-major lance..a-side-without a doubt]if you can get a listen you'll dig this one from the major.

[splanky]

Forever looks like it's a tune Major himself co wrote with a E. Record. I wonder if that's
Eugene Record of the Chilites. It is a nice groove....

More than likely it is him, eugene was a great songwriter who also wrote for others.
