You are. LOL. Joking of course. BTW- I never really thought Davy Crockett would have been much of a ballad man, but how can you argue with the buckskin buckaleer/King of the Wild Frontier? Love that song! (Message edited by tbrannon on June 15, 2007) | ||

"Boogie Fever" by The Sylvers Doesn't ring a bell... Also I think i'ts unlikely this was #1 in Holland at that time... Off course the #1 album from my birthyear was Hotel California (I forgot the name of the band)  | ||

I remember that song Flip (Boogie Fever). It was around the onset of the Disco craze. Our lead guitar players favorite line was "Disco is to music what finger painting is to art". LOL And I was in High School when Hotel california came out. I remember everyone freakin' out cause Joe Walsh joined up with the Eagles. They were thinkin' he was going to ruin them. One of the best moves they ever made if you ask me. Of course I remember them backing up Linda Rhondstat. | ||

"There iiiiiisss... a hoouuussssee... in New Orleans..." Eric Burdon & the Animals on 8/31/64. As a former Beatles maniac, I could have sworn that "She Loves You" topped the charts. Their single release was eight days before, if memory serves me right, at least in Europe... Anyway, I also like Mr. Burdon ;-) Christian | ||

So much for the US #1 - for our Dutch audience, this is the Wikipedia pagewith Top 40 #1 hits (starting in 1965). For some silly reason, the hits are ordered alphabetically by artist. At the bottom of the page, you can look them up by year. So it wasn't the Beatles with "Yesterday", which topped the charts only in November, but the Rolling Stones with "(I can't get no) Satisfaction". | ||

Sugar Shack was penned by a guy who lives (or lived) in Craig, Colorado. I don't recall his name, but he owned a club in that town and the bands stayed at his place. I played there in '83. As for the song, if I recall it was a typical teenage bubblegum tune from the early 1960s.. John | ||

"I'm leaving it up to you" by Dale and Grace. Unfortunately, my birth was around an hour after JFK was murdered, so nobody really cared what was #1 on the charts that day. | ||

Sugar Shack was written by Keith McCormack and Faye Voss and perfored by Jimmy Gilmer & the Fireballs. Interestingly, the Fireballs, without Jimmy Gilmer, were a Tex/Mex instrumental band, similar to the Ventures, featuring George Tomsco, who was apparently an influential guitar player in that style. Tomsco also played on some posthumous Buddy Holly releases. The surf tune, Bulldog, is by the Fireballs as well as the tune Torquay. McCormack, in addition to writing tunes for Gilmer and the Fireballs, was a member of the The String-A-Longs, another Tex/Mex group, and also played guitar on some Buddy Holly releases. The String-A-Longs, Fireballs, and Buddy Holly, all recorded at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, New Mexico. | ||

See if the memory stick kicks in... "..There’s a crazy little shack beyond the tracks And ev’rybody calls it the sugar shack Well, it’s just a coffeehouse and it’s made out of wood Expresso coffee tastes mighty good That’s not the reason why I’ve got to get back To that sugar shack, whoa baby To that sugar shack. There’s this cute little girlie, she’s a’workin’ there A black leotard and her feet are bare I’m gonna drink a lotta coffee, spend a little cash Make that girl love me when I put on some trash You can understand why I’ve got to get back To that sugar shack, whoa baby To that sugar shack, yeah honey To that sugar shack, whoa yes To that sugar shack. Now that sugar shack queen is a’married to me, yeah yeah We just sit around and dream of those old memories Ah, but one of these days I’m gonna lay down tracks In the direction of that sugar shack Just me and her yes we’re gonna go back To that sugar shack, Whoa uh oh To that sugar shack, yeah honey To our sugar shack (Fade) Yeh, yeh, yeh, our sugar shack .." | ||
