I swear this has been used, but oh well...
Peter and Gordon's "I go to pieces" was written by Del Shannon.

Del's name was tossed around the surviving Wilburys to replace the late Roy Orbison.

Roy's Blue Bayou later became a hit for Linda Ronstadt. Okay, deep breath for this one. Linda Ronstadt was once romantically linked to Jim Carrey, who was later linked with Renee Zellweger, who had a brief marriage early last year to Kenny Chesney. End link. |

It's time to remember and celebrate Sharon Tate for who she was ... not what happened to her.

Uncle Kracker did a cover of "Drift Away" and the Kinks had a song by the same name.

The O'Jays had a huge R&B hit in the summer of 1972 called Backstabbers. It peaked at #3. Interestingly, almost exactly one year earlier, the #3 song was another R&B hit that had the same theme, going behind someones back. This song, Smiling Faces Sometimes, was musically very similar to Backstabbers as well, and was a hit for The Undisputed Truth.

Smokey and his group The Miracles had a hit with "The Tracks of My Tears". Covering the song, and having an even bigger hit with it was Johnny Rivers.
