My Boy Lollipop always takes me back to being a teenager in 1964 — Millie Small’s voice was so unique, nothing else sounded like it!
Ronny & the Daytonas nailed it with G.T.O. — that was cruising music at its finest. I had that 45 on repeat all summer.
Suspicion by Terry Stafford… man, that song could’ve been straight out of an Elvis session. Still gives me chills.
Hard to believe Ringo by Lorne Greene was such a hit. A cowboy talking record making the charts — only in the ’60s!
The Girl from Ipanema is one of those one hit wonder songs that transcended everything — cool, jazzy, and unforgettable.
Hey Little Cobra is a fun flashback. The Rip Chords made car songs sound like an anthem for every kid who dreamed of drag racing.
Romeo and Juliet by The Reflections is pure doo-wop magic. Can’t believe it’s considered one of those one hit wonder songs.
Diane Renay’s Navy Blue always sounded so sweet and innocent. Another one hit wonder song that deserves more recognition.
Jan & Dean’s The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena) makes me laugh every time — one of those one hit wonder songs that never gets old.
Jackie Ross with Selfish One had such a soulful delivery. It’s crazy how many one hit wonder songs in 1964 still hold up today.
