Incredible! There are no future hits under WAX TO WATCH. Some big names but no hits. Mostly duds and played a week then disappeared.
must have been down-time for the recording industry in general with songs like "Hansel and Gretal", "Giggles", "Side Car Cycle" and "Report To The Nation" although it might be interesting to listen to these short-timers today... ya never can tell.
Giggles is currently a very rare and expensive doo wop 45 featuring the great Tony Allen - remember Nite Owl? It's rare because it didn't sell.
Oliver Cool is Rod McKuen
The Lettermen record was on Warner Bros., just one release away from their first big hit on Capitol.
And the Damita Jo, an answer record to Save The Last Dance For Me was a national hit.
As to the hit list, Chills & Fever by Ronnie Love - originally by Johnny Love - was a moody rocker, but no one seems to know a thing about Love - the artist, not the emotion - well, yeah, that too.
