​             Straight out of 1961

"Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" is a doo-wop style hit song from 1961 co-written (withGerry Goffin) and recorded by Barry Mann. ​The single debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 on August 7, 1961, and remained for twelve weeks, peaking at #7.[
"Blue Moon" is a classic popular song written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934, and has become a standard ballad. It may be the first instance of the familiar "50s progression" in a popular song. The song was a hit twice in 1949 with successful recordings in the US by Billy Eckstine and Mel Tormé. In 1961, "Blue Moon" became an international number one hit for the doo-wop group the Marcels, on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and in the UK Singles chart. ​
​"Hats Off to Larry" is a song written and sung by Del Shannon, which he released as a single in 1961. The song spent 13 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 5,[1] while reaching No. 1 on Canada'sCHUM Hit Parade,[2] No. 2 on New Zealand's "Lever Hit Parade",[3] No. 2 in Australia,[4] No. 6 on the UK'sRecord Retailer chart,[5] and No. 8 in South Africa.[6]
"Let the Four Winds Blow" Domino's large persona, dancehall piano playing, and tales of love and home made him Elvis Presley's top rival. By the end of his career, Domino was credited with selling more records than any other 1950s-era rocker except Elvis Presley. One reason his contributions to the genre are overlooked is because of his humility and shyness. [16]
