I never bought any of those K-Tel albums that they would advertise on TV all the time. My friend Ben over at the Oddity Archive on YouTube features them from time to time. In a feat of engineering magic, K-Tel would cram 20 songs on an LP that might hold 14 comfortably and sell them for “7.99 for LP’s, 9.99 for cassette or 8-track.” Anyway, I started with “The Night Has A Thousand Eyes” and just let YouTube suggest the rest. In case it won’t play for you here, try the playlist on YouTube.
- Bobby Vee, “The Night Has A Thousand Eyes”
- Jimmy Clanton, “Venus In Blue Jeans”
- Gene Pitney, “Only Love Can Break A Heart”

- The Happenings, “See You In September”
- Brian Hyland, “Sealed With A Kiss”
- The Searchers, “Love Potion Number 9”
- The Cascades, “Rhythm Of The Rain”
- The Walker Brothers, “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore”
- Tommy James & The Shondells, “Crystal Blue Persuasion”
- Johnny Rivers, “The Poor Side Of Town”
- Gerry & The Pacemakers, “Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying”
- Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, “Young Girl”
- Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, “Too Late To Turn Back Now”
- Jay & The Americans, “Come A Little Bit Closer”

What a wonderful playlist, John! I listened while I sorted out some of my vacation pix to share on Wednesday. Thanks for background music and for being this month’s honorary co-host, my friend!

What an oldies playlist! I haven’t heard some of these songs in years. And I think my backyard birds (that was where I listened to this playlist) really enjoyed “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying”.

I loved listening to all of these. ” Since I don’t have you” is do dream like and sad to me but I love this song. Sealed with a kiss, Love Potoon and song #10 really makes me feel good in a strange way. Loved this session.
