CUSTOM KARAOKE 60's ONE HIT WONDERS 20 GREAT SONG cdg CD+G HARD-TO-FIND

Description: We’ve been selling karaoke since 1988. That’s a long time! When I wanted to put my business phone number in the Yellow Pages the “karaoke” category did not even exist. I had to list the business under “Musical Accompaniment”. I’ve seen a lot of changes in these three decades. The formats that we have used to listen to our music has gone from cassette tapes and Laser Discs to Compact Discs w/Graphics, MP3+G and digital downloads. The good news for those that still have a karaoke cd+g player is that we still have thousands of discs still available, many of them are rare and hard-to-find, such as this one. This is a unique disc with a unique collection of songs that takes you through the 60's year by year. In the 60's there were some artists that were thought of as a "one hit wonder" although they may have had other songs chart after their more famous hit. This is a collection of those great songs from that long forgotten decade, the 1960's. This disc may take you back to a little romp through a time when you bought 45's to listen to your music and watched American Bandstand on the weekends. This disc contains that one song from each artist, the twenty listed below.About the songs:Joe Jones was a musician who played the piano and was involved with music as both a writer and publisher. His only hit was You Talk Too Much, which made it to the top 3 on the Billboard 100. Joe Jones passed away on November 27, 2005.

The band the Echoes was a trio from Queens, New York City made up of Tommy Duffy, Harry Boyle, and Tom Morissey.Mashed Potato Time by the Dee Dee Sharp peaked at #2 on the Billboard's Hot 100. Unfortunately that was the biggest hit for her though she did reach the top 40 with a few other songs. Party Lights from Claudine Clark is a nice little dance song that was actually written by her. The song reached #5 in 1962 when Claudine was at the ripe old age of 21. Tell Him by the Exciters was originally titled Tell Her but this version from 1962 was renamed Tell Him and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It was an international hit and reached #4 on the Billboard 100. The Exciters were made up at the time with three members - lead singer Brenda Reid, Carolyn Johnson, and Lilian Walker with Herb Rooney being added later and marrying Brenda Reid afterward.If You Wanna Be Happy by Jimmy Soul hit the charts in 1963. It reached #1 on the Billboard 100.

The song reached position #6 in the spring of 1964. Diane Renay aka Kushner had no other Top 40 hits.Little Honda sounds just like a Beach Boy's song because it was. However the Beach Boy's version was not released as a single and remained an album track so producer Gary Usher came up with a group of session musicians and named them the Hondells. Yes, the Hondells were actually a fictitious group though an album was released with liner notes containing a back story of how the group came to be.Baby, I'm Yours - by Barbara Lewis. This song was actually written by Van McCoy ("Do The Hustle"). The song made it to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and several cover versions have been recorded by artists as diverse as Cher, Debby Boone, Tanya Tucker and Cass Elliot.Yes, I'm Ready by Barbara Mason.

This was a surprise number two hit in 1966 for them and the song was co-written by Paul Simon. The song was kept from the number one position by the Beatle's Paperback Writer.Lies by the Knickerbockers. This song has been mistaken by many as an early Beatles track. It purposely was written to emulate the Beatle's sound and made it to #20 on the Hot 100 in early 1966.Come On Down To My Boat by Every Mother's Son. The song was co-written by Wes Farrell, who later produced and wrote songs for the Partridge Family. It reached the #6 position on the Hot 100.It Must Be Him - Vikki Carr. This was a modest great hit in 1967, climbing all the way to #3. Twenty years later it was featured in the movie Moonstruck. Vikki Carr would continue to have hits in the Spanish market.Nobody But Me by the Human Beinz. This single went to #8 on the Billboard 100 and may best be known as having the most repetitive phrase of any single, repeating the word "No" 31 times in the song, beating out Bill Withers' 26 time repeat of "I Know" in his song "Ain't No Sunshine". They failed to have a repeated success with any follow-up singles.I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart is a great song by these songwriters. They wrote many songs for the Monkees in their early years but the greatest success this duo had was this song that made it to #8. Boyce died on November 23rd, 1994 at 55 years of age.Take A Letter Maria by R.B. Greaves. Ronald Bertram Aloysius Greaves III was actually a nephew of Sam Cooke. After a stint in the Caribbean and the UK, R.B. Greaves returned to the US and had his biggest hit with 'Take A Letter Maria. He wrote the song and the single peaked at #2 on the Billboard 100, kept from the #1 spot by Wedding Bell Blues by the 5th Dimension. A story song about a man leaving his wife after finding her with another man when he came home. "Kept my cool, I ain't no fool, let me tell you what happened then." is a line from the song - R.B. Greaves died in September 2012 at 68 years old.Baby I Love You by Andy Kim .
