That is the ring tone I have on my Droid for Johnny D. I was writing back and forth to Johnny D today on the blog and it got me in the mood to hear Johnny B. JOHNNY ANGEL BY SANDY STEWART AND GEORGIA LEE Read all about Tillotson at the other posting (a sneaky way to get you to see other postings….lol). Since I placed Without You on the Oldie of the Week page and mentioned this as Johnny Tillotson’s most underrated song, here it is. This is his only charted song, which debuted on Christmas of 1961. However, poor Jimmie on his own did not fare so well. They had two classic slow dance/make out songs: This I Swear and Since I Don’t Have You. It is by Jimmie Beaumont, who happened to be the lead singer of the Skyliners. Here is a song that reached #100 for one week on the Hot 100. Perhaps that is why is is RARELY HEARD….lol. Whichever title you use, it is a clunker for me. The song was written in 1580 under the title “Frog Went a Coutin”. After hearing it, I wonder how it made it to the #32 spot. I had never heard this song so I went right out to find it. I just posted Greenfields on the the blog and talked about this song being the only other one to make it to the top 40.
#WE LOVE BAD BOY SONG SINGER TV#
Now his TMZ franchise is a very popular TV show and his web site is on many a smart phone. He is no Frank Sinatra or Paul Anka but this is not bad for a lawyer who wanted to run for public office when he started his career. Paul volunteered to work with Harvey and produce the song with the proceeds going to charity. However, Paul Anka, the composer who wrote the song for Frank Sinatra in 1968, called Harvey and told him it was not all that bad. Harvey Levin of TMZ fame, sang a little of My Way on his TV show back in January and took great ribbing from his staff. This will be rarely heard since it is only available on iTunes. You might best remember his hit, Tell Laura I Love Her from the summer of 1960. He later formed Dunes Records in 1960 and his first release on his own label was a #7 hit, Corina, Corina. He started singing in his early teens while being treated for polio at a Texas hospital. This song reached only number 25 in 1959 but I thought it should have been a top 10.
