Pick of the week: I'll go with High School USA, if only because I love the idea of Facenda recording 29 different versions for various local markets. Nothing really great this week, but among the good ones are Talk To Me, You Tell Me, Thinking of You and Sandy.

Pick of the week: Dance With Me, with Don't Take the Stars and I Dig Girls a distant second and third. Guy Mitchell's version of Heartaches By the Number is actually fairly decent, but a lot of people have done much better jobs with it. Others I sort of liked were Dynamite, There's a Girl and There. I've Said It Again.

"Gordy reinvested his songwriting success into producing. In 1957, he discovered The Miracles (originally known as The Matadors) and began building a portfolio of successful artists. In 1959, at Miracles leader Smokey Robinson's encouragement, Gordy borrowed $800 from his family to create an R&B label, Tamla Records. On January 21, 1959, "Come To Me" by Marv Johnson was issued as Tamla 101. United Artists Records picked up "Come To Me" for national distribution, as well as Johnson's more successful follow-up records (such as "You Got What It Takes," co-produced and co-written by Gordy)."

this stuff and the shirelles are the first blooms of the 60s.

[manho]

also, money had been released a couple of months earlier. it was a hit in the mid-west but obviously doesn't show up on conky's charts. comes back big in early 1960.

Pick of the week: White Christmas doesn't count, because it's just an annual Christmas rerelease of a classic. Theme from A Summer Place is probably the most evocative and was a huge hit, but I never liked it. Which I guess leaves Sweet Nuthin's finishing first because of a lack of competition.
