Hey, JP! You mean you couldn't find the alternate poll board that allows for 41 entries? ;D
I pick Only You. Love the Platters, and particularly this song. Several other great ones here also including The Great Imposter (I actually have this on one of my No One Else Remembers cds), Runaway, and I Only Have Eyes For You.
One curiosity on the list. You show Party Doll by Jimmy Bowen. I assume that's how it appears on the cd. There was a group in the late '50s called the Rhythm Orchids that included among their members Jimmy Bowen and Buddy Knox. Each of them sang lead on different songs. In fact the first two songs pressed on the Roulette label was Party Doll and I'm Stickin' With You. -- Only Party Doll was by Buddy Knox and the Rhythm Orchids and I'm Stickin' With You was by Jimmy Bowen and the Rhythm Orchids. (I even remember both of them performing on The Ed Sullivan Show, singing their respective hits). So I'm wondering if Party Doll on the cd is an alternate version sung by Bowen, or if the American Graffiti guys goofed.

Actually, H2, I copied and pasted this list from another site (Amazon.com I think) and they goofed. Should have been Buddy Knox. They also had the wrong title for The Spaniels song, but I caught that one. Thanks for the correction. |
