ALBUMS

My first time really trying to digest most of these so next 1961 list from me will likely be a lot different. Big surprises to me were how much enjoyed the Marcels and Gary "U.S." Bonds released, was expecting them to be the big hits and a bunch of awful filler.

10 | The Marvelettes | PLEASE MR. POSTMAN
9 | The Miracles | COOKIN' WITH THE MIRACLES
8 | Johnny Cash | NOW HERE'S JOHNNY CASH
7 | Dion | RUNAROUND SUE
6 | The Marcels | BLUE MOON
5 | Gary "U.S." Bonds | DANCE 'TIL QUARTER TO THREE
4 | Ben E. King | SPANISH HARLEM
3 | The Original Soundtrack | WEST SIDE STORY
2 | Dave Van Ronk | DAVE VAN RONK SINGS
1 | Ella Fitzgerald | ELLA FITZGERALD SINGS THE HAROLD ARLEN SONGBOOK

Greg, I'm very impressed with how thorough your 1961 Song list is. Great to see someone else with "Coal Miner" there. The record was on Savoy (my grandfather's label). I made good money selling the 40 copies I got out of the Savoy basement back in 1975.

Thorough is the word. I had to go back and add 3 songs that should have been on my list but weren't probably because I put them in the wrong playlist. The Buck Owens and Charlie Rich being the most egregious. A lot to sample there before next time we do this.

Thanks! A Spotify subscription, OCD (or CDO, as the joke goes), and an abundance of free time carved out by a global pandemic makes such things possible...

Hymie, I definitely got Coal Miner and a number of others from your list, so thanks for the recommendations - and I'll just go ahead and say thanks in advance for all the songs I'll be poaching from your lists in the coming polls! I know you've done a lot of ACTUAL work discovering and tracking down good music, so cheers.

F2tM, I've noticed from last year and this that we share a taste for country, so I'm looking forward to trading recs in that department. Just listened to Claude King's" Big River, Big Man" from your list and will need to sort that one in for next time around. Cheers!

RYM has it in 1961. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 in February of 1961. It could definitely be 1960, but what are you basing on? Copyright? Billboard review?

I already posted the Billboard Review of the single in this thread. It was reviewed as a new release in December 1960.
