Suspicion

On April 4, 1964 the Beatles made history when they captured the top five spots on Billboard's Hot 100.  Today's forgotten oldie was the song at #6 that day.  Terry Stafford, an Elvis sound-alike captured the honor with the song "Suspicion".  A week later the song peaked at #3.  Stafford continued to perform and record but never again cracked the top twenty, although a song he wrote, "Amarillo by Morning" was a monster country hit for George Strait.  Suspicion was also the first song to use a backing track using synthesizers.  Today, this great song is simply forgotten.
