Come on Guys & Gals.
Cut out all that Hanky Panky and answer my question, which started this
thread.
Someone must remember.
Kind regards,
Bill.
***** A local mate has asked me for details "about a tune used as a
theme for a radio program, 'Hanky Panky' played by Pete Fountain".
"Hanky Panky" was a big hit/$million seller in 1966 for Tommy James &
The Shondells, written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich (a
husband/wife team).
I've established that Pete recorded it in 1967 for Coral and assumed
that this was when he was with Lawrence Welk. However, the
Welk/Fountain 'partnership/ was from 1957 to 1959. Too early.
Can any of youse old blokes/girls (like me), with intact memories,
recall which radio show it was?****
