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?

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

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.Quote:

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

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.
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.
