Under The BoardwalkThe Drifters

The Drifters – Under the Boardwalk

The Japanese title is “Nagisa no Boardwalk.” Many people seem to ask, “What’s a boardwalk?” It’s a wooden promenade laid over the beach, and because the area beneath it is shaded, young couples used to sit there side by side.

King had already left the group.

It reached No.

4 in the U.S.

in 1964.

Summertime Blues

It was a hit that reached No.

8 on the U.S.

charts in 1958 and is a classic covered by many top musicians.

The most famous version is probably by the British rock band The Who.

George Harrison was a huge fan of Eddie Cochran and was even said to have followed him around for a time.

He was only 21 when he died in a car accident—an irreplaceable loss.

Ray Charles – What’d I Say Pts. 1 & 2

It’s well known that “What’d I Say” was originally a piece over seven minutes long and was therefore recorded in two parts, Part 1 and Part 2.

The intro is lengthy, and it might make you impatient on first listen, but from the second time on, the electric piano in that intro gradually lifts your mood.

Ricky Nelson – Hello Mary-Lou

This song, with the same title as the one sung by Johnny Duncan in 1960, was covered in 1961 by the American artist Ricky Nelson.

It’s a rhythmical, upbeat number with a country flavor.
