Thanks for voting Don. :)

Haven't seen Phil yet. RonJon either. And we hope CanAm is OK !

Pink, Marty Robbins was very popular in Australia. We didn't even know he was a Country singer when he made #1 on our National Chart with 'A White Sport Coat..'.

He was even more popular in my home City, Brisbane. 'A White Sport Coat' was #1 for 4 weeks here, then 'The Story Of My Life' reached #3, 'Just Married' #1, and 'She Was Only Seventeen' #2. 'El Paso' got to #7 and 'Devil Woman' to #5.

If I find out Bo Diddley missed out by less than 4 points, I will be sore, but I'll get over it eventually

Don't worry.

The preeminence of Bo Diddley is long-established doctrine here at Songfacts.

Elvis is King, but Diddley is Daddy.

Ellas McDaniel had a unrecognized and mostly uncredited major influence in Rock & Roll (The "Bo Diddley Beat" is the basis for hundreds of classic songs).

I'll support it next week if it misses out. :)

I just realised that I voted the current #1 down by 4 points, and #2 up by 5 points. It wasn't done to manipulate the Chart. More about that after voting finishes.

Phil, RonJon, and CanAm, if able, are still to vote.

Ian/CanAm is having a lot of trouble with his neck and can't sit at the computer for very long without severe pain. Please join me in wishing him a speedy recovery.

:)
