The original version of "Here In My Heart" first charted in June 1952 and hit the Number One position for three weeks on BBS Records.<br />actually, Martino's singing career was more revitalised by his appearances in the 'Godfather' movie trilogies where he played singer Johnny Fontaine.Lord Darth Rageoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504572362460384765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-19253211274714508502010-06-24T10:51:44.214-07:002010-06-24T10:51:44.214-07:00Okay, a theory: Claudia & the Crystals were o...Okay, a theory: Claudia & the Crystals were on Dore, the same label for whom Phil had "To Know Him..." in '58. I've not heard their 45, but I bet it had some of the same elements as the Teddy Bears. As the Crystals first hit was later in 61 and that first Crystals group was from Brooklyn, it's unlikely they were on Dore first. More likely was that Phil copped that name from Dore.<br /><br />Among others on Wax to Watch that got my attention was "Defiant Drums," which proves that surf is about to break (pun intended) on KFXM...watch out!<br /><br />Foot Stompin' is a killer. Didn't break nationally until early September, 61.<br /><br />Doug, these postings are appreciated muchly, really looking forward to your return to 1959.megaloggernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-57209134128672349572010-06-24T07:26:56.672-07:002010-06-24T07:26:56.672-07:00WAS CLAUDIA & "THE CRYSTALS" the sam...WAS CLAUDIA & "THE CRYSTALS" the same a-la Philles Records' discovery??? <br />only Phil Spector knows and he isn't talking these days...Lord Darth Rageoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504572362460384765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-62611936282936744952010-06-23T22:04:06.245-07:002010-06-23T22:04:06.245-07:00A couple of notes:
