Who are those other two guys in the photo with the Bee Gees?

There was originally a fourth Bee Gee, I definitely remember that. I had an album and I remember the picture. I know I'm not totally craZy, see?

I have a 45 of Little Children backed by Bad to Me by Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas. My favorite Tremeloes song remains "Even the Bad Times Are Good"; Jackie likes the Four Seasons' cover, "Silence is Golden."

Tell Jackie that the Tremeloes version is better.

Jeff Meyerson said...

She likes it too. Apparently when she was younger - much younger - she always played the "B" side of 45s. This was the "B" side of "Rag Doll," of course.

You kids ask your grandparents what 45s and "B" sides are, OK?

Vince Melouney and Colin Peterson, who must now go sit in the corner with Pete Best.

Well, I haven't forgotten them. And Billy J. Kramer stuff is frequently played on oldies radio.

I haven't forgotten them, either. I'm so old that I think of them as newcomers to the field.

Bee Gees: not early, not British (despite birth), not remotely good. Ever.

Todd, if you feel that way, take my advice and DO NOT read the comments about the best songs by 203 top acts.
