"Come Go with Me" is a song written by C. E. Quick (aka Clarence Quick), an original member (bass vocalist) of the American doo-wop vocal group The Del-Vikings.  The song was originally recorded by The Del-Vikings in 1956 and was released on Fee Bee Records.

When the group signed with Dot Records
 in 1957, the song became a hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became the group's highest-charting song. The song was later featured in the films American Graffiti (1973), diner (1982), and Stand by Me (1986) and Joe Versus the Volcano (1990). 

"A Little Bit of Soap", written by Bert Berns (aka Bert Russell), was a song, first sung in a bluesy soul style by The Jarmels, who reached #12 with it in September 1961.
The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard,. Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33 1/3 rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S.
The Chordettes -  organized in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, in 1946. The original members of the group were Janet Ertel, Carol Buschmann (her sister-in-law), Dorothy Schwartz, and Jinny Osborn/Lockard.

​In 1952 Lynn Evans replaced Schwartz and in 1953, Margie Needham replaced Osborn (who was having a baby), though Osborn later returned to the group.

Harv, another classic miracle! These are possibly the worst tunes of the day back then, however, I was surprised to learn the Kingston Trio started in Sheboygan in 1946! That little factoid has caused me to change my opinion of the group... they are now much more appreciated by me (not musically but historically). Thanks ol' buddy, and continue effort to edumacate us. JL
