Hi again! I'm Joyce Martin.
I'm sure you
remember me
from last year's
post here at
Shady's Place.
As you recall, I'm a good girl breaking bad...

to fit in, but
ever since I

up with the
Hellcats, my
grades have
been slipping
and my folks
have been in
my face and
on my case.
Not knowing which way to turn for help, I found a friend
in Professor Shady Del Knight who offered to be my private
tutor and help me bring up my grades. To earn extra credit,
I am doing a special research project for Professor Knight

I am doing a special research project for Professor Knight
and hosting this new blog series at Shady's Place called
Joyce Martin's a Gold Digger!
In each volume I will display vintage top tunes surveys,
the hit parades distributed by radio stations in the 50s
and 60s. Next I'll go digging for gold - picking a
favorite song from each list and playing it for
your listening and dancing pleasure.
I'm lucky to have this
chance to make good,
so... if you're ready...
let's dig some gold!
WAEB - ALLENTOWN, PA
This edition of my series features radio station
play lists from across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Let's begin with the survey
in green above, issued by WAEB 790 in
Allentown. It's the week of May 23, 1960,
and I'm poring over the station's list of the
"Top Tunes in the Lehigh Valley." I think
I'll play #23, "Young Emotions," a song
by Ricky Nelson, a cool guy I dated!
"Young Emotions" - Ricky Nelson

Our next stop is Altoona, PA, and radio station
WFBG 1290 - "The Voice of the Alleghenies."
It's the week of June 8, 1963, and I'm picking
#17 on the survey, Connie Francis, one of the
most popular female singers of the late 50s
and early 1960s, beginning to struggle a bit
on the chart by mid 1963 when this rock 'n'
roll style record, "If My Pillow Could Talk."
missed the top 20 on the Billboard chart.

WLAN - LANCASTER, PA

We now head southeast to Professor Shady's
old stomping ground and a visit to Lancaster,
home of AM station WLAN 1390. My choice
from the LAN Tunivac Top 60 for the week
of November 25, 1961, is #6, "Heartaches"
by The Marcels, a group from Pittsburgh.
"Heartaches" was recorded in 1933 by
bandleader Ted Weems, but his version
didn't catch on and become a hit until
a DJ revived it in 1947. It has since
been waxed by many artists. This
version, by The Marcels, made
a run at the top 5 on Billboard.

WJET - ERIE, PA
I'm digging this gold and I hope you are,
too. We now travel all the way back up
to the far corner of the state, Erie, and
another station with a top 60 instead
of a top 40 format. It's "The Jet" -
WJET 1400. We're revisiting the
week of May 22, 1961, and the
tune I've selected from Erie’s
Original Top 60 Music Survey -
The Jet Sixty is #14, the neato
girl pop song "Triangle" by
one-hit wonder Janie Grant,
real name Rose Marie Cosili
of Paterson, New Jersey.

WSBA - YORK, PA
Next we travel all the way back across
the state to Shady's hometown, York,
and a top tunes list issued by WSBA
"The Nifty 910"... later known as
"The Mighty 910." It's the week

KDKA - PITTSBURGH, PA
From station KDKA Pittsburgh, here above is a survey listing the top hits
of 1964. I'm spinning the #22 song that year, a Four Seasons record that
would have topped the chart if not for The Beatles and their two smash
hits "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" which held the
#1 and #2 spots and for three weeks in a row prevented the Seasons'
record from rising higher. Here now are The Four Seasons doing
their best to fend off Beatlemania with-- "Dawn (Go Away)."

Tom,
ReplyDeleteI noticed your newest edition so I popped over but no sooner did when DH says his work computer is getting a huge update and asked to not doing anything that requires a lot of intense data usage. I'll swing back by later when I can listen to your song selections, my friend. ;)
Hi, Cathy!
DeleteThanks for letting me know, dear friend. Hey, you still qualify as the Early Bird! :) I look forward to chatting with you further when you return. See you then, dear friend Cathy!
Tom,
DeleteI'm back later than I anticipated. DH's updates still aren't done but he got a stopping point before he needed to shut his computer down for the day. Luckily, the does for the most part doesn't require being on the computer all the time.
Most of your song picks today came out the year I was born. I know four of your featured artists: Ricky Nelson, Connie Francis, The Marcels, and The Four Seasons but I only knew the song title, "Dawn (Go Away)". The new to me voice that grabbed my ears was that of the lovely Janie Grant. Have you used her in past posts? If so, then I just forgot but I really love her sound. I did a quick look to see if she had other hits and learned that "Triangle" did the best for her. I sampled "Romeo" and "That Greasy Kid Stuff" but didn't really care for either of those. Her vocal style in these tracks didn't appeal to me. I may have to listen to more of her songs to get a better idea. I surely do appreciate the introduction of Janie and all the others unfamiliar to my memory/ear. Have a funtastic Tuesday evening, my friend!
Hi, Cathy!
DeleteThanks for returning to the scene of the crime, dear friend! (Joyce and the H.S. Hellcats are stealin' hubcaps again.) I'm glad you found a window of opportunity to visit and that you enjoyed Joyce's tuneage, songs she cherry picked from the top tunes surveys of Pennsylvania radio stations.
Yessum, this post is almost like a tribute to the year you were born, isn't it? :)
YES YES YES! I'm so glad you singled out Janie Grant and her claim to fame, "Triangle." When I re-discovered that song a couple of years ago after not having heard it or even thought about it since the 60s, I was elated. It's a terrific lost treasure of the teen pop/girl pop category. I can imagine director David Lynch using Janie's gem of the genre as a contrapuntal song in one of his scary film or TV scenes. No, I don't think I ever posted "Triangle" before this. I'm thrilled that you like it as much as Shady does. As is often the case with one-hit-wonders, Janie didn't get another great song to record after "Triangle." At the time of its release, it captured the imagination of teenage America, but it proved to be the high water mark of her recording career. I am proud to be remembering Janie's best contribution to pop mewsic in this post.
Thank you again for returning as promised and for your splendid comment. Have a good evening and I'll be seeing you again soon, dear friend Cathy!
Tom,
DeleteOh yes definitely, I agree Janie's singing style in "Triangle" is definitely David Lynch worthy which I really like that dreamy almost fancy-like singing.
Thanks for dropping by my place today. To answer your question, there won't be a Friday Funnies edition but I am rolling out my first installment of Five For Friday and then I'm bringing back Saturday Songsuasion which you'll want to check out for sure!
Have a swell weekend, my friend!
Hi, Cathy!
DeleteThanks for popping back in, dear friend!
I've been pondering a special post containing songs and performances that would work well in David Lynch projects. "Triangle" is the kind of girl pop sound I'd be searching for. Stay tuned to see if I can make it happen.
Thanks for letting me know what's coming up at CAAC. I always have fun at your place and will make every effort to be there.
Thanks again for joining the fun with DJ apprentice Joyce Martin, dear friend Cathy!
Tom,
DeleteI'm happy to give you heads up on future posts when I can. I just notice in my previous comment I wrote fancy-like when I meant to say fantasy-like but I betcha knew I just goofed. :)
I'll be looking forward to your special post featuring music that David Lynch might use in his film productions. Thanks for dropping by to check out the return of Saturday Songsuasion series and for inspiring me to crank out a new edition after being absent from my blog content for a few years. Have a good weekend, my friend!
Hi, Cathy!
DeleteThanks for dropping in on your Saturday, dear friend!
Yessum, you knew right where to look for the clue that tells you what my September 22 post will be about. I finished it early this morning before turning on the TV and watching several hours of coverage of the 20th anniversary of the 9-11 terror attacks. I appreciated the points made by former President Bush in his eloquent "That's the America I know" address. What an emotion filled day, then and now!
It must have been many years since you last participated in Saturday Songsuasion because I honestly don't remember seeing the feature before at CAAC or anywhere else. I like how you and I inspire each other. That's a sign of a great friendship.
Enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you tamale on the dance floor. I've got a new post starting tomorrow as well and hope you can take a peek at it during it's 5-day run.
See you soon, dear friend Cathy!
Did you know MST3K riffed that film? That's all I can think about now!
ReplyDeleteHi, Alex!
DeleteSecond place is yours and your alone, good buddy! I think I remember you telling me this when Joyce first appeared on the blog. High School Hellcats was such a put-on to begin with, that it really didn't need any riffing. :) I hope when it was first released in 1958 that it was not intended to be taken too seriously. I figure it was meant to be screened at a drive-in theater while teenagers were smooching and they wouldn't notice how bad it was. :)
Joyce M. thanks you for coming, and so do I. Enjoy the rest of your week, good buddy Alex!
I know Ricky Nelson because I know his twins, Matthew and Gunnar. I love their music.
ReplyDeleteMy mom listened to Connie Francis so I know some of her songs jut not this one.
I wasn't sure I knew "Heartaches" - The Marcels but as soon as it started playing I recognized the song. Love their voices.
I'm pretty sure that I Like It Like That has been on a movie that I watched because it sounded really familiar. That's one great thing about some movies, they love to play some of the older music on them and we get to know the songs that way.
You really can't mistake that voice from the 4 Seasons. They are so recognizable and unique.
Hi, Mary!
DeleteThanks for dropping in and claiming the bronze medal, dear friend! How's my good buddy Falcor?
Yessum, it figures that someone as young as you would know Rick's musical sons as well or better than you know the Rickster himself. Truth be told, this Connie Francis rock & roll number was brand new to my ears until recently when I spotted it listed on that WFBG Altoona top tunes survey while researching this post. The single marked the start of Connie's chart decline. None of the singles she released after this one peaked this high on the Billboard chart (#23), and many of her records thereafter missed the top 40 or even the top 50. Some stalled in the 90s on the chart!
Yessum, "Heartaches" is that old familiar favorite from the 1930s and 40s, updated during the doo-wop era by The Marcels. Chris Kenner's "I Like It Like That" was successfully covered by the DC5 in 1965, and the song was also used in the soundtrack of the 1987 Vietnam War movie Full Metal Jacket. Maybe that's how you remember it. Yessum, many movies and TV series lace their soundtracks with oldies from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, exposing younger viewers like you to the classic songs that I knew and loved in my younger years.
Glad you liked Frankie and The 4 Seasons singing at that roadhouse.
I'm pleased that you liked the gold dug up by good girl breaking bad, Joyce Martin. Thanks again for coming and enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Mary!
I know half of these performers, but I don't think I recognize any of the songs!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kelly!
DeleteHow are you and my buddy Pat today? Thanks for nailing down 4th place in the race! As the 4th place finisher, you win (for Pat) a bag of Shady Del Knight shaped dog treats! :)
Mission accomplished! My goal on this blog is to introduce you to recording artists and songs that you don't know but hopefully like. Major hits by major stars are doled out in strict moderation.
Thanks again for taking a peek at the post, dear friend Kelly, and enjoy the rest of your week!
Hi Joyce! Glad I could swing by here, after a visit to Shady's previous post. What a line-up, and I "dig" the various radio stations' charts of top Hits!
ReplyDeleteDidn't we all love Ricky Nelson? It doesn't matter what he was singing. If I didn't care for the song, I just sat there and drooled over him, haha! "Young Emotions" is a good song, and he had it right. Thanks for the nice video, Joyce!
Oh, The Marcels! "Heartaches" seems older than 1961, because of the doo wopiness of the song. I remember it well, though, and always liked it. You always get the guy with the very bass voice to add coolness to the song.
Connie Francis was a voice to reckon with, and she always sent a song over the top. I don't remember "If My Pillow Could Talk", but the title fits Connie, and I like it a lot.
You sure picked some good ones, Joyce! "I Like It Like That" was so popular, and played a lot at our teen dances. The guys like to sing the song whether they danced to it or not, and us girls did too! Thanks for playing this one...I haven't heard it in ages.
The 4 Seasons truly rocked during the sixties! What a group...it's like we grew up with them. I love these guys, and "Dawn" is definitely a keeper. Great video of one of the first groups to steal my heart!
Well, Joyce...you did a great job! Shady knew what he was doing when he took you on!
Thanks Shady, for all you do. Take care, dear friend!
Hi again, Suzanne!
DeleteI just replied to your earlier comment and thank you very much for reading and commenting on both posts today. I hope you and Scootie are well and in good spirits, dear friend!
Yessum, with Joyce's series, I thought I'd do something a little different, and that is give us all a glimpse of the top 40, 50 or 60 tunes lists published by local stations in various media markets around the country. In this first volume of Joyce's feature, she selected songs from stations across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including York and Lancaster, the two cities I lived in before moving to Florida in the mid 80s. If you look over the various surveys, you will see that they contain lots of obscure songs that were popular locally or regionally but not nationally. It blows my mind to realize how many great or at least interesting recordings went unnoticed by millions of Americans because they never caught on beyond a limited area of the country.
Our hostess with the mostess, Joyce Martin (aka actress Yvonne Lime), appeared as Ricky Nelson's girlfriend in an episode of Ozzie & Harriet, and I believe the two also dated briefly in real life. I am thrilled by the number of remastered clips of Ricky performing his songs on the family TV series, such as this one, "Young Emotions."
Yessum, that Marcels cover sounds more like a late 50s record than one that was popular at Thanksgiving and Christmas 1961. It's filled with those nonsense syllables sung by "Mr. Bass Man," a true gem of the genre.
Early in her career, Connie Francis recorded rock & roll songs and scored some hits. I think by the summer of 1963 when she released this rock & roll number, fans were used to her sweet teen ballads like "Where The Boys Are," and didn't accept her return to that earlier genre. From this point on, Connie's records peaked lower and lower, with some of them barely registering on the Hot 100 by the mid and late 60s. In fact, from the summer of 1962 until the summer of 1973, no fewer than ELEVEN of Connie's singles merely Bubbled Under the Hot 100! That's hard to believe, given the fact that she had been the top-charting female vocalist of the late 1950s and early 60s.
Like you, I hadn't heard Chris Kenner's "I Like It Like That" in ages. It has also been a couple of years since I heard the DC5's cover version. I'm glad you like it. Imagine The 4 Seasons competing successfully with The Beatles and The British Invasion! They were one of the few American acts to hold their own and put together a string of major hits during that period.
Yessum, I think we owe Shady Del Knight a debt of gratitude for taking troubled teenager Joyce Martin under his wing and giving her a job as a Shady Bunch DJ. :) Joyce will be back with more top 40 charts and more great oldies selected from them in vol. 2, so stay tuned. And stay tuned for my next post coming this Sunday. It's another sneak preview of an upcoming Shady's Place radio show, this one hosted by one of my favorite quirky characters from the DC Comics universe. I hope you can join me. Until then, please take good care of yourself and Scootie and thanks again for your friendship and support, dear Suzanne!
I remember DC5's cover of "I Like It Like That" to be pretty good. They were one of the good dance bands of the 60's. I went through the charts of top songs over those years, and I surprise myself at how many songs I've known in my life. I'm also glad to have been here to appreciate the up and coming of so many artists and changes in the music industry.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shady, for bringing a lot of the best oldies and classics to the forefront. Have a good week. It was a delightful 68 degrees this morning when I got up. Kind of having a hard time getting Scootie off to school, ugh! Take care, dear Shady!
Hi again, Suzanne!
DeleteYou're experiencing a nice cool-down over there and I envy you. It is still awfully hot and sticky here. We've been getting just enough rain to keep the lawns from burning up.
Yessum, like other English bands, The Dave Clark Five gained hits with covers of songs made famous years earlier by U.S. artists. Cover hits released in the U.S. by the DC5 include Chris Kenner's "I Like It Like That," Bobby Day's "Over And Over," Chuck Berry's "Reelin' And Rockin'" and Marv Johnson's "You Got What It Takes." In Canada, the UK and Australia, the DC5 had hits with more covers including "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby," a song from the 1938 movie Hard To Get, "Put A Little Love In Your Heart," originally by Jackie DeShannon, "Everybody Get Together," originally by The Youngbloods, and "Here Comes Summer," the Jerry Keller hit. Three other covers were released but went uncharted including "Draggin' The Line" by Tommy James And The Shondells, "Sweet City Woman" by The Stampeders and "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam. Seems to me The DC5 waxed a lot more covers than other artists, or at least released them as singles and got their versions noticed.
Yessum, along with the surprise of seeing how many songs on those surveys came and went w/o us ever having heard them, there are a surprising number that we still remember after all these years or recall as soon as we start listening to them. Imagine all the songs our brains have cataloged by this time!
Thanks again for being a great friend and coming back to talk shop. Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Suzanne!
Good morning, Shady. Should I be ashamed to say I'm not familiar with any of these tunes besides "Dawn"? I've always loved Frankie Valli's amazing falsetto, and The Four Seasons' harmonizing is something else. I remember seeing The Jersey Boys some years ago, and they did an awesome job.
ReplyDeleteHi, b.a.f.!
DeleteIt's good to see you, my friend! Thanks for joining the fun as DJ in training Joyce Martin plucks tunes from old top 40 surveys and plays them for your listening and dancing pleasure.
No sir, you need not feel ashamed. My intent is to introduce you and other friends to recordings that you might have missed the first time around. I try to avoid posting too many familiar million sellers. I and other Dell rats have discovered gold aplenty on the B sides of records and on the lower rungs of the record charts.
Thanks for letting me know that you saw The Jersey Boys show and that you love the real deal, the original The 4 Seasons fronted by Frankie Valli.
Thank you again for your visit and comment. I see that you have a new chapter of your story written and published, so I'll be right over. Enjoy the rest of your week, good buddy!
Well, I know 4 of your artists: Ricky Nelson, Connie Francis, The Marcels, and The Four Seasons. Janie Grant and Kris Kenner are new to me, though I have heard Dave Clark 5's "I Like It Like That". I think I prefer Kenner's version. I can't think of anything particular to say about Janie Grant, other than, well, she's very good.
ReplyDeleteI was perusing that KDKA song list. Everyone from Barbara Streisand to Roy Orbison to Dean Martin to Ray Charles to Louis Armstrong to The Supremes to (especially) the Beatles. Quite a variety back in '64!
Hi, Kirk!
DeleteThanks for accepting the invite to Joyce Martin's platter party, good buddy! Personally, I think Joyce is doing a fine job of working as a Shady's Place presenter, an extracurricular activity that is helping to bring up her GPA.
Yes, for her first SPMM radio show Joyce picked some familiar names along with a couple of less well known artists. Loo-siana singer/songwriter Chris Kenner had one other notable single entitled "Sick And Tired" which made a run at the top 10 on the R&B chart in 1957, four years before he hit big with "I Like It Like That." Sadly Chris died of a heart attack at age 46. Patterson, NJ, songbird Janie Grant was discovered by Gerry Granahan, the singer, songwriter and record producer who wrote and produced for The Angels, Fireflies, Patty Duke and Jay & The Americans. Janie's "Triangle" cracked the top 30, but she never again reached that level of success as a recording artist. Two of her other singles peaked in the 70s on the chart and EIGHT more singles failed to read any chart - didn't even Bubble Under!
Yes, 1964 was the year pop music exploded with variety, with several new exciting genres emerging and coexisting on the chart. They included The Beatles and The British Invasion, The Motown Sound, the Phil Spector sound and the SoCal surf-rock and hot rod genre. Old school pop singers and instrumentalists managed to land hits that year along with the fresh new artists.
Thanks again for coming over to check out Joyce's first stint as a Shady Bunch DJ, good buddy Kirk. Enjoy the rest of your week!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all of these greats of old. Ricky died too young but thankfully we have these gems. I never heard of this pillow song by Connie Francis but it sounds cute. OMG! The Marcels have a fun song and it sounds like the one guy is very hungry..to me anyways.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Janie but her song is sweet and as for the next, I know that song which is fun to listen to. I am glad you ended with the 4 Seasons and this song which is one of my favs from them. Have a fabulous day!!
Hi, Birgit!
DeleteIt's great to see you, dear friend!
I was just heading your way. I looked for your "At The Movies" post for three hours this morning and couldn't find it, then needed to shut down, leave home, go to a lab appointment and run errands. I am just now logging back on.
Seems you found a lot to like on Joyce Martin's vol. 1 play list. Yessum, there are many nicely restored videos of Ricky Nelson performing his hits on Ozzie & Harriet. Joyce (Yvonne Lime) dated Ricky and she will be bringing you more of his songs and performances in future volumes of her series. Ricky will also be showing up on other SPMM shows. Yessum, that Marcels bass man sounds like a hungry monster in search of people to eat. :) I was very happy to find that brilliantly remastered video of The 4 Seasons performing their hit "Dawn (Go Away)" in Beach Ball, a musical comedy movie released in the fall of 1965 and starring Edd "Kookie" Byrnes and Chris Noel. Beach Ball marked the first appearance in a film by The 4 Seasons and by Diana Ross And The Supremes.
Thanks again for dropping by, dear friend BB. I hope things are on the upswing on your side of the screen. I'm coming over to see you now and hope to learn more. Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend!
Here I am Shady, a bit late to this party! It's been a crazy week here and I did read your post earlier but was at PT and couldn't get my comment in! So I'm here now and I have to say that I do remember some of these tunes. Ricky Nelson's song is so sweet and he just looked so young in that clip. He was a good looking guy! The other songs I wasn't familiar with but of course the 4 Seasons was a no brainer. Even though I was head over heels in love with the Beatles I did like that song too! I hope your Saturday is going good. The weather has been Fall like up here but tomorrow the heat returns for a bit...that's September in Ohio! Take care Shady!
ReplyDeleteHi, YaYa!
DeleteI am relieved to see you, dear friend! I'm delighted that you could tune in for the first edition of the new Shady's Place series Joyce Martin's a Gold Digger, starring actress Yvonne Lime in the role she created in the 1958 juvenile delinquency exploitation movie High School Hellcats.
Yessum, Ricky Nelson recorded and released "Young Emotions" early in 1960. As it was with several of his singles, the B side, "Right By My Side" also charted, reaching #59. Over the next year, Ricky released three more singles including his biggest hit, the chart-topping "Travelin' Man" b/w "Hello Mary Lou" which made the top 10. After that major success, "Ricky Nelson" became "Rick Nelson" on all subsequent releases. Rick continued to turn out hits, albeit not as big and not as frequent as he had recording as "Ricky." Then came The Beatles and Rick placed only one more record in the top 40 for the next five years.
I hope your PT is going well, dear friend, and glad you're getting a taste of fall weather. Wish we were! Thank you again for spending some time in the Shady. Stick around to meet a young lady who is bound and determined to put a smile on your face. She'll be playing her stack of happy wax on SPMM starting tomorrow morning. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend, dear friend YaYa!
Well, well, well! It seems like my new job and being out of the house for work again has put me behind. My apologies! I will probably be behind for the unforeseeable future, as I learn my role and juggle two jobs two days per week.
ReplyDeleteYou had me rocking and rolling this evening. I can't wait to play these gems while cooking tomorrow. I promise I'll give you more of an opinion tomorrow.
Have a great evening.
