• Barry from Sauquoit, NyConcerning the 2nd post below; on the same March 3rd, 1973 'Bandstand' show he also performed "Who Was It?"; and eight days later on March 11th, 1973 it entered the Top 100 at position #87, and six weeks later on April 22nd, 1973 it would peak at #49 {for 1 week} and spent 9 weeks on the Top 100...
  And exactly thirty-five years after this appearance on "Bandstand", on March 3rd, 2008, Norman 'Hurricane' Smith passed away at the age of 85.

  This was used a few years ago in the Drew Barrymore and Jommy Fallon movie, "Fever Pitch" [a baseball comedy].
• Shirley from Beach Park, IlI woke up this morning and this song was in my head. I hadn't thought of it in years. It brings back bittersweet memories of my Dad. When my sister would play this song, Dad would get up and dance around the room :) I can still see him. He and my mom use to go dancing in the 40's and early 50's. They're both gone now, so remembering this song this morning sure put a smile on my face!
