I'm Back

[Davalillo]

Thank you guys.

On the songs, no Metallica, Marshall Tucker, Shirelles, Roy Orbison.

Hey Jude good song but ranks 10th of 12 Beatles songs on my top 1230.
A Day in the Life is one of my highest as well.

Light My Fire is just outside te top 1000--only 2 Doors songs included.

Rob--you are a heck of a 60s musicfan if you remember Can't Get Enough of You Baby by ? and the Mysterians--tha song peaked at #56.

I question any list without at least It's Over and Runnin' Scared.

Never liked Hey Jude all that much. Best Beatles songs: I Want to Hold Your Hand, A Day in the Life, Eleanor Rigby, I've Just Seen a Face, Run for Your Life, For Noone, Love Me Do, Help.

Random songs that belong near the top of the list.
My Girl Temptations
Walking in the Rain Ronettes
Wonderful World Sam Cooke
Learning the Game Buddy Holly
Cold Cold Heart Hank Williams
I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry Hank Williams
It was a Very Good Year Sinatra

Glad to see you here as well. Very excited to see you sharing some scans, too. The hobby is so great to share as well as read/learn from others. And your collection is certainly expansive!

Any thoughts on completing any pre-war sets in something less than NM/MT?

Be nice to have lunch with you sometime -- Happy New Year to you and your family.

Welcome back Jim. It was a thrill seeing you accept the award for completing all of those sets at the PSA luncheon in Baltimore!

Hey Jim,

I used to work in an "oldies" themed record shop for a few years. When my father was alive that is all he played growing up. My favorite musicians of that era besides Beatles, Stones and Beach Boys are:

Grass Roots, Del Shannon, Tommy Roe and the Dave Clark Five among lots of others. I've seen many concerts and have met guys like Peter Noone, Tommy Roe and Christopher Cross (even though his music is a couple decades later). But I like classic rock almost the same (Tom Petty is prob my all time fav).

Glyn- I like your top five. Tomorrow Never Knows is a landmark song. There are some lesser ones that are my favorites too, such as Things We Said Today. That is a really beautiful song.

I agree with Jim that the term is almost universally mis-used.

the true one-hit wonders is someone like Zager and Evans who did In the year 2525 in 1969 and never charted again. Their follow-up Mr. Turnkey is an absolute stiff (and yes I have heard that song) and they were never to be heard from again.

The "modern" description of one-hit wonder has now evolved to being the only song that someone remembers of the artist. With most "oldie/classic hit" radio stations tightening their playlists to as few as 300 songs -- there are many people who are now only remembered for one song -- although other songs by them have charted (and at time even higher) than the song we now remember.

A good example of that is Sugarloaf who hit #3 in 1970 with Green Eyed Lady but actually would hit the top 10 again 1in 1974 with Don't Call Us, We'll Call You. Now tell me the last time you heard THAT song on the radio.

Regards
Rich

Jim......looks like your technical skills have grown by many hundred percent! Good to see you here as well as the non sport side. Also great to see some scans from that collection of yours......

Marc,

Probably only 1940
Play Ball would I attempt as a psa 7/8 combination.Too many 7s to upgrade from raw partial set I submitted.
Would possibly buy 7s in sets where I am missing just a few in psa 8 such as 39 Play Ball, 34 Goudey or 34-36 Diamond Kings.
Would enjoy lunch sometime-let me know.

Rob,

I am fans of all those singers or bands. I have also seen Peter Noone live. Favorite hermans hermits song is No Milk Today. Love Christopher Cross and DC5.

Rich,

I rember Don't Call Us We'll Call You well but I don't think I have heard the song since 1974.

Jim
