Yup I know all of those tunes.

Great songs and more proof that rock and roll was not dead before the Beatles came here.

I only know #8, "Sixteen Reasons", and #9, "I Only Have Eyes For You".

I remember once, somewhere online, hearing Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams sing #8--as Laverne and Shirley, of course! I picture the two bottlecappers sitting on the steps outside their apartment at 730 Knapp Street sucking on popsicles, if that gives you any clue--album cover, perhaps?

Of course, #9 was played on an episode of The Wonder Years! :cool:

4)1960's "Let the Four Winds Blow"by Fats Domino,

6)1961's (Yeah,I wanna)Love My Life Away"by the late Gene Pitney,

In the mid-1970s, Bruce Springsteen would sometimes perform "Let The Four Winds Blow" as an encore. I've got it on a Springsteen bootleg!

I once saw Marshall Crenshaw do a cover version of "Love My Life Away" in concert, on a PBS TV special back in the 1980s. Great song.

I even thought of making a film called "Moondog Millionaire", which is a quasi-parody of "Slumdog Millionaire" and "American Graffiti".
