Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Only two rock bands in the 60's scored top ten hits with their first seven records.  One was the Lovin' Spoonful, the other may surprise you... Gary Lewis and the Playboys.  In 1965 and 1966 Gary and his Playboys ruled the airwaves.  A perfect blend of teen problems, the boy next door and sappy romance propelled the band to a record of 15 top 40 hits and 8 gold records.  "Sure Gonna Miss Her" peaked at #9 on April 9, 1966... exactly 48 years ago today.  But it's just another forgotten oldie today.  Yes Gary is the son of comedian Jerry Lewis, and yes they're the only rock band I ever saw with an accordion player.
