Speaking of The Cowsills--"Silver Threads and Golden Needles" while not only being a forgotten 45 gem also has the theme From Love American Style on the flip side :eek:

And last,but not least,the late Floyd Cramer's very bouncy,bright and bubbly as well as peppy and energetic follow-up to his somber "Last Date"(1960-#2),1961's "On the Rebound"?(which was also top 10 -#4-)

I liked "Last Date" more
