FRIDAY MUSIC: Classic Hits (Part 4) by JD

More oldies but goodies.

The Crystals - Da Do Ron RonNorman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky (1970)Jimmy Jones - Good Timin' This track was a UK No.1 for three weeks in 1960, it reached No.3 in the US. Jimmy Jones (b. 1937 Birmingham, Alabama) is still highly regarded as an influential character on modern music. His use of falsetto voice in R&B/pop directly influenced Del Shannon, who in turn influenced The Bee Gees disco orientated tracks.Johnny Burnette - Dreamin`Dion & The Belmonts I Wonder Why 1958Sam Cooke - Bring It On Home to Me (Official Audio)
The backing singer is Lou Rawls, in fact it sounds more like a duet with Rawls' voice being an essential part of the song.
