I mentioned one yesterday about the song "Help Me Girl" which was BOTH released by Eric Burdon and The Outsiders at the same time!

I heard you mentioned The Tradewinds, this song didn't crack the Top-40 but it's the song I like from them....

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

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-)
