A couple of minor stars in the 60s firmament. First, Lou Christie. Back in the 80s PBS ran an oldies special on which he appeared. He gave a great performance. Unfortunately, it’s not on youtube, so far as I could see. An interesting factoid I picked up looking through his performances: one of his hits, Rhapsody in the Rain, was banned from many radio stations. Times have sure changed, it’s hard today to see what the problem was. Anyway, here he is singing a medley of The Gypsy Cried and Two Faces Have I.
Next, Del Shannon with a classic oldie. I can hardly remember a time when Runaway wasn’t an oldie. This is a particularly good performance, in my humble opinion.
