The Fortunes | Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again | Here comes that rainy day feeling again And soon my tears will be falling like rain | The pride of Birmingham, AL, The Fortunes had to wait six more years (1971) before landing another hit in the top five on the American charts (their first was "You've Got Your Troubles" from the fall of 1965). As with "You've Got Your Troubles", the Fortunes' "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" was written by the duo, Roger Greenwood and Roger Cook. "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" was much more folk oriented than "You've Got Your Troubles" but still has an electric sound to it. - Peter | |||
The Fortunes | You've Got Your Troubles | I see that worried look upon your face You've got your troubles, I got mine | The fall 1965 top five hit, "You've Got Your Troubles" was a hit for the five member group, the Fortunes. - Peter | |||

The Foundations | Build Me Up, Buttercup | Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup baby Just to let me down And mess me around? | The top three fall 1968 smash hit, "Build Me Up, Buttercup" came a year after the success of the Foundations' "Baby, Now That I've Found You", but was just as successful and followed generally the same formula for success. The only two differences were the lead singer was changed to Colin Young (from Barbados), instead of "Baby..."'s Clem Curtis and the writers, Tony MacCaulay still shared part writership of "Build Me Up, Buttercup" but not with Mike McCleod. McCaulay co-wrote, "Build Me Up, Buttercup" with Michael d'Abo who was then lead vocalist for the group Manfred Mann. - Peter | |||
The Foundations | Baby, Now That I've Found You | Baby, (ba-da-da-da) Now that I've found you, I can't let you go, (Ba-da-da), I build my world around you, I need you so, (Oooh) Baby, even though, You | The rest of the opening line: "... don't need me, You don't need me." "Baby, Now That I've Found You" was the first top ten American hit (in fall 1967) for the British soul group, the Foundations. With "Baby, ...", the Foundations finally combined the best of the British Invasion sound started with the Beatles and the American soul artist such as with Motown and Atlantic recording artist. A matter of fact it was startling, in America -- at least, to many to see how racially even (in terms of blacks and whites) the group the Foundations were -- at least at that time (the Foundations though would prove to be a foretelling as to what was to come with such 1970's groups as K.C. & the Sunshine Band). The song was very much sold by then lead vocalist, Clem Curtis from Trinidad. "Baby, Now That I've Found You" was written by Tony MacCaulay and Mike McCleod. - Peter | |||

By 1976 the only original member of the Four Seasons was it's lead singer, Frankie Valli. - Peter | |||

Frank & Moon Unit Zappa | Valley Girl | Valley Girl, She's a Valley Girl. | 1982's minor hit (Hot 100, but not Top 40 on Billboard), "Valley Girl" from the late great Frank Zappa with his daughter Moon Unit speaking the parts of the Val, was to many the introduction to the subculture known as the Val's in the Encino & Ventura, CA area. The Val's were the teenage girls and sometimes boys that had come of age with parents who had probably been hippies in the late 1960's. Frank Zappa picking up on trends, decided to cut this song to make fun and maybe to celebrate the "Val" culture. On this tune, America and much of the rest of the world was introduced to the following sayings: "Gag me with a spoon!", "Grody to the max." and "Fer sure." and taught me people how to "Bag things" that were just way too gross to look at. - Peter | |||

Frank Sinatra | It Was A Very Good Year | When I was seventeen It was a very good year. | I nearly forgot this classic from Ol' Blue Eyes until I heard it on the Walter Conkrite special on Friday. "It Was A Very Good Year" was from the mid-1960's during the time that there was a sudden resurgance for Sinatra's music during the time when British Invasion started by the Beatles and Motown sound was dominating the charts. - Peter | |||

Frank Sinatra | Strangers In The Night | Strangers in the night exchanging glances Wondring in the night What were the chances we'd be sharing love Before the night was through. | Frank Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night" seems like an impossible song to have been a #1 hit in the early summer of 1966. But it was. What makes it impossible is not only Frank Sinatra's age at the time, which was at least twenty years older than most of the hitmakers at that time (during the height of the British invasion and the Motown groups dominating the charts) but also by who collaberated with Frank on this hit. The arrainger was Nelson Riddle and it is Nelson Riddle's Orchestra who is providing the instrumental. And it was written by Bert Kaempfert (who had an instrumental #1 hit of his own back in 1961, "Wonderland By Night"), Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder. But yes, Frank Sinatra sort of revived his career by sending "Strangers In The Night" up to #1 (released on Sinatra's studio album of the same name) in the first week of the summer of 1966 (a matter of fact "Strangers In The Night" is the song that would halt the Beatles' "Paperback Writer" from being the #1 song for three weeks, the Beatles had to settle for two non-consecutive weeks at the top with "Paperback Writer" to make way for "old blue eyes" hit, "Strangers In the Night")! - Peter | |||

Freddie & The Dreamers | I'm Telling You Now | I'm telling you now I'm telling you right away I'll be staying for many a day I'm in love with you now. | A number 1 song in the spring of 1965 in the U.S., "I'm Telling You Now" was Manchester, England's Freddie & The Dreamers most popular song in the states (they wouldn't equal that chart position, again in the states). Freddie & The Dreamers were a quintet that pre-rehearsed all of their on stage shows, but are most remembered for their lead singer, Freddie Garrity (born: November 14, 1936, died May 19, 2006) a 5'3" bespectled, gangly man who created a widely successful dance (at least in England, less so in the states) called the "Freddie" with very interesting arm and leg movements. - Peter | |||

Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon | Palasades Park | Last night I took a walk after dark A swingin' place called Palasades Park, To have some fun and see what I could see, That's where the girls are. | Cannon continued to have some minor charting hits after the success of 1959's "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans", but his next Top Five hit would have to wait until 1962's "Palasades Park". Cannon would continue to have some lower charting hits well into the 1960's and even past 1964's British Invasion started by the Beatles, but would not have another hit make it even into the top twenty, let alone top five. Cannon appeared as himself, singing of course, in the final June 24, 1966 episode of the teen soap opera, "Never Too Young". Today, Cannon resides in Tarzana, California. Palasades Park is a real place by the way. - Peter | |||
