"Little Town Flirt" - Del Shannon

(Feb. 1963, highest chart pos. #12 Hot 100/#11 Cash Box,

perf. on Sept. 28, 1965 ep. of Where The Action Is)

"Little Town Flirt," one of the many great hit

singles by rock 'n' roll legend Del Shannon.

Now here's a taste of the early 60s Nashville

sound. "Send Me the Pillow You Dream On"

was written and first recorded way back in

1949 by country music singer and Grand

Ole Opry star Hank Locklin. At the time

Hank's song didn't chart, but it became

a major crossover hit when it was

re-released at the end of 1957.

Hit versions of "Send Me The Pillow" were also released in the 1960s

by The Browns, by Dean Martin, and by this man- Jacksonville,

Florida, country-pop singer Johnny Tillotson!

"Send Me The Pillow You Dream On" - Johnny Tillotson

(Sept. 1962, highest cart pos. #17)

That was "Send Me The Pillow You Dream On," the version

recorded by Johnny Tillotson, the country crossover artist

who became a teen idol of sorts two years earlier with

the biggest hit single of his career "Poetry In Motion."

At the end of 1962 this next song was well

on the way to becoming a million seller.
Sung by Brooklynite Marcie Blane, it is
one of the many boy name teen pop
singles released in the pre-Beatles era.
Marcie's record shot to #2 on Cash Box,
blocked from the top spot by "Telstar,"
the international hit by the English
instrumental band The Tornados.
Here now is Marcie Blane with her
one and only hit-- "Bobby's Girl."
