  1. The Gleep by Coke Willis - wow! I actually have this 45, pretty good dance record from my estimation.

    Does anyone know the Coke Willis story...was he a local IE boy?

    As well as the Seventh Day by Al Anthony on Ala - I presume his own label.

  2. WELL I TOLD YOU by the Chantels
    was nice snappy dance tune.

    Is this some kind of an answer
    back to HIT THE ROAD JACK??

  3. #48 "The Lost Penny" by Brook Benton is the flip side of one of his best... "Shadrack".

  4. So late 1961 is the Genesis of the
    SURF era?

    2 groups on board with SURF in
    their tune title.
    Surfer's Stomp and Surfin.
    Marketts and Beach Boys.
    It's gonna be a great run for
    at least 6 years.

  5. Coke Willis is listed in Personalities Of The West and Midwest. I'm his nephew in charge of his archives and expect to work out a biography shortly. Check out his movie and art direction credits.
