OLD 55 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 And she's about 8 years younger than Connie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) No, that's not Connie, I know what Connie looks like. I'd guess Brenda Lee. Although, it doesn't look much like Brenda, and Brenda wasn't a dark brunett. Edited August 8, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Not Brenda. She's English and The Beatles once supported her in Concert. But she was more popular in Europe and only had one U.S. Hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks ladies. Helen Shapiro it is Laurie. She was only 14 when her first British Hit went to #3 in 1961. She followed that up with two #1s, the second Walking Back To Happiness selling a million copies worldwide. It was her only charting record in the U.S. - at #100 ! (#10 in Oz). Please have a listen to it ! Walking Back To Happiness - Helen Shapiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberjudge Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hello again. DJ Ceejay here with you for with this week’s recap on Golden Oldies Top 40. Last week’s top 3 were; Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton at #3 Stay by Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs at #2, and Little Sister by at #1. Who will be #1 this week. Stay right where you are. Here we go: 3 songs drop out this week: Come Go with Me by the Dell Vikings, which made it as high as #19, You’ve Really Got a hold on Me, a #1 song for the Miracles, And I’m Ready, a #10 hit for Fats Domino. That gets 3 new songs in the chart: At #39, the Beach Boys, who had a top 10 hit with Surfin’ U.S.A. return to the countdown with (surprise, surprise) another surfing song, Surfer Girl. Solomon Burke has his 1st chart hit at #34 with Cry to Me. And the highest debut this week, at #31, one of 2 instrumentals in our countdown, Green Onions, by Booker T. and the MG’s. The other instrumental, Telstar by the Tornadoes, moves up 5 notches from #34 to #29. 2 songs move up at least 10 spots this week: At Last by Etta James moves up 10 from #38 to #28. And the biggest mover this week is Kansas City by Wilbert Harrison, up 11 positions from #33 to #22. Only 1 new song in the top 10 this week … and it’s a re-entry: Willie and the Hand Jive by the Johnny Otis Show peaked at #5 back in week #21. After dropping as low as #14, it rebounds this week from #13 back to #10. That brings us to this week’s top 3. Sliding up a notch from #4 to #3 is the highest of 2 songs by the Crystals this week, Then He Kissed Me. (Da Doo Ron Ron also makes noise on the chart this week, climbing from #39 to #30.) At #2 is last week’s #1, Little Sister by . And that means that for the 4th week in a row, there is a new #1: Stay by Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs. And there you have it; this week’s edition of Golden Oldies top 40. Until next week, keep your head in the stars and keep reaching for the ground.
