Tommy James & The Shondells | Hanky Panky | My baby does the hanky panky, My baby does the hanky panky, My baby does the hanky panky, My baby does the hanky panky, My baby does the hanky panky! | Yes, Tommy James & the Shondells' first #1 song, the summer of 1966's "Hanky Panky" repeats the first line five times and actually repeats again for five more times the same lines (for a total of ten) before another lyric is heard. Of the seven tunes that were #1 in the summer of 1966, Frank Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night", the Beatles' "Paperback Writer", the Troggs' "Wild Thing", the Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer In The City", Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" and the Association's "Cherish", Tommy James & the Shondells' "Hanky Panky" had the longest and most convoluted time reaching the #1 position. In 1963, "Hanky Panky" (written by the songwriting team of Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich) was released as the B-side of the Raindrops' "That Boy John". A 13-year old, Tommy Jackson heard the Raindrops version and Jackson from Niles, MI recorded with his group the Shondells (started in 1959 as Tom & the Tornadoes) it at a club in South Bend, IN (where Jackson couldn't remember the lyrics and just made them up as he went along) for the tiny "Snap" label. The 1963, the Shondells version also went nowhere as did the B-side version by the Raindrops. Then in late 1965, a Pittsburgh DJ started playing it and it started to become a huge radio hit throughout the U.S., with bootleggers selling 80,000 copies illegally before the record company "Roulette" could release the original master copy. Realizing that they had a huge hit on their hands, "Roulette's", Pittsburgh DJ, DJ "Mad Mike" Metro asked Tommy Jackson to re-record the tune in Pittsburgh. But by then the Shondells had long since disappeared and Jackson had to ask a local group, the Raconteurs (not Jack White's later group) to become the new Shondells with very little pay, which they agreed to. And at this time Tommy Jackson changed his last name to James, and the rest as one might say was history! - Peter | |||

"Dizzy" was originally released in Britian and was a #1 there in the fall of 1968. "Dizzy" was Tommy Roe's first hit since Fall 1963's "Everybody" and his first #1 since Fall 1962's "Sheila". At this time, many radio stations and record executives started classifying Tommy Roe amongst the Bubblegum artists such as 1910 Fruitgum Company, Ohio Express and the Archies, even though Roe was an actual artists and had been making hits before the Beatles came to America and was at least five to ten years older than many of the musicians behind those other groups. But Tommy Roe's new music, beginning with "Dizzy" did sell well amongst the Bubblegum music buying audience. - Peter | |||

Tommy Roe | Sweet Pea | Oh, Sweet Pea, come on and dance with me | - Candy Welty | |||
Tommy Roe | Everybody | Everybody, everybody, everybody's had a broken heart now. | "Everybody" was a #3 hit for Roe in the fall 1963, it was playing on a Dallas radio station when one of the bulletins about President John F. Kennedy's assassination broke. After the success of "Everybody", Tommy Roe went to England to tour with Roy Orbison. Roe decided to live in England for several years and started the Pickwick International record label with Jerry Lee Lewis in 1965. - Peter | |||
Tommy Roe | Jam Up And Jelly Tight | Jam up and jelly tight, My, my, my, my, baby, now you're outta sight. | "Jam Up And Jelly Tight" was a top five hit for Roe in 1970, and considered the top 40 follow-up to his #1 1969 hit, "Dizzy". After the success of "Jam Up And Jelly Tight", Tommy Roe moved to Beverly Hills, CA and married a French actress named, Josette Banzet. In 1976, Roe moved to an acting career and won a Golden Globe award for his supporting performance in the TV mini-series, "Rich Man, Poor Man". Roe was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall Of Fame, in 1986, and late would be recognized for his work by the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame. - Peter | |||
Tommy Roe | Sheila | Sweet little Sheila, you'll know her if you see her Blue eyes and a ponytail. | Fall 1962's "Sheila" was Tommy Roe's first hit and first #1 song. "Sheila" was released in May 1962 and would become a #1 hit in both the U.S. and Australia. "Sheila" was certified gold on March 25, 1969. Tommy Roe was born Thomas David Roe in Atlanta, Georgia on May 9, 1942 and was in the band at Brown High School. Roe was greatly influenced by Buddy Holly and it shows in the song, "Sheila". In April 1961, Tommy Roe had a daughter, out of wedlock, Cynthia, who is still living in Atlanta, GA with Roe's 3 grandchildren. - Peter | |||

Toni Basil | Mickey | Oh, Mickey, you're so fine You're so fine you blow my mind Hey, Mickey! Hey, Mickey! | "Mickey" was a surprise #1 hit from dancer and choreographer Toni Basil (helped to choreograph routines for David Bowie when Bowie came in concert in Los Angeles) in December 1982. Toni Basil almost didn't make it on the charts with the tune, her record company Chrysalis was at first hesitant to release, but they did and had a hit with it with it's cheerleading like lines. And the video, played plenty in the fall of 1982 on MTV, helped with Toni Basil going back to her high school roots as a cheerleader. - Peter | |||

Tracy Chapman | Fast Car | You've got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, Maybe we make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere. | "Fast Car" was a #8 hit for Tracy Chapman in the summer/fall 1988, but was a big seller on more charts than the pop charts. "Fast Car" was also a hit in the album rock, folk, alternative rock and soul charts which was a very unusual and at the time unheard of thing for a record to do -- to make it big in all five of those charts. In many ways, Gnarls Barkley's 2006 hit, "Crazy" owes a debt of gratitude to Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" in that many different audiences would be open to the idea of listening and buying and asking radio stations to play the same song. And it almost didn't happen that way for Tracy Chapman or "Fast Car". Tracy Chapman, who owes a debt of gratitude to Joan Armatrading (a darling of critics in the 1970's and 80's, but never a big seller of records) for the record companies to be open to the idea of allowing a black artists (and especially a black folk artists) such a Tracy and Joan to be able to sell songs and lp's. Elektra records waited a very long time though to release a first lp for Tracy, entitled just, "Tracy Chapman", unsure as to actually how or in which category her songs belonged (they are generally very folk, but with some rock and elements of soul mixed in) to. And Tracy wrote many songs that were on the self-titled 1988 debut as far back as 1982. And at first Elektra had very little faith in "Fast Car", but when first alternative and hard rock stations both started playing the tune it took off from there (as what would happen with Gnarls Barkley's tune in 2006) with pop and then soul and then easy listening stations playing it (it was also one of the earliest pop tunes heard reviewed on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered", introducing Tracy Chapman to even more wider audiences) and reached legendary status. "Fast Car" (as well as the whole debut lp) is said to have appealed to a need many felt that much of the citizens of the U.S. and the world had been left behind and to needs in all of us for something more. Tracy Chapman would also win the Best New Artists Grammy for "Fast Car" and CBS-TV went out of their way to promote Tracy Chapman singing the song live on the Grammies that year. - Peter | |||

Traditional | Amazing Grace | Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, That sav'd a wretch like me! | "Amazing Grace" was written by the Anglican Reverand/Englishman John Newton back in 1772, originally as part of a sermon he was to give on New Year's Day 1773. It later became a world reknown Christian hymn and included in part of Newton's "Olney Hymns" with music by William Cowper. "Amazing Grace" is based on the Bible's "I Chronicles, 17:16" when King David marvels at God choosing him and his house. Many artists have recorded "Amazing Grace" through the years, and later it became a spiritual and folk song. - Peter | |||

Trini Lopez/Peter, Paul & Mary | If I Had A Hammer | If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land, I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out warning, I'd hammer | The rest of the opening line: "...out love between, my brothers and my sister, ah-aaah all over this land." "If I Had A Hammer" was written by Brazillian Trini Lopez and he had a top twenty American hit with it in 1962. Folk trio, Peter, Paul & Mary would record it the following year in 1963 and have the much bigger Top 5 hit with it, making it an instant Civil Rights movement anthem. - Peter | |||

The Troggs | Hi Hi Hazel | Hi hi hi Hazel. Nice to see you in the neighborhood, looking good. | - Lorinda Bale | |||
The Troggs | Wild Thing | Wild thing you make my heart sing, you make everything groovy. | "Wild Thing" was another one of those #1 songs from the summer of 1966. The Troggs themselves were a British invasion quartet from Andover, Hampshire, England and were signed by the Kinks' manager. "Wild Thing" was written by Chip Taylor and was the only #1 song for the Troggs, made popular by the memorable vocals of lead singer, Reg Presley. But it has had a lot of staying power, still being played on many Classic Rock and Classic Hit stations, in several movies and in a very memorable episodes of the early 1990's hit TV show, "Life Goes On". And Jimi Hendrix with his group Experience recorded a memorable version of the tune at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival. - Peter | |||
