The Drifters, who took it to #1 on the U.S. pop charts, the group's only #1 record. In the UK, the Drifters' version reached #2 in December 1960
ok confused here thought song had to be posted to be claimed so i will pick a diff song
claiming a song sung by nat king cole but also charted by Sam Cooke in 1958 (#17). they only have nats version here so i hope i dont need another ruling lolol...
So many recorded already!!! :O Geeez you're fast guys!! lolol I wish I could be too this time but I have no singing voice at all at the moment... (or more correctly - my voice range dropped about one octave over night!!! lmaoooo) hopefully it'll be better tomorrow :S
It's sooo good to be back, this'll be so much fun! :D Have a loverly weekend!! :)))))
Yippee!!!! Thank-you so much for putting me through....so any song from the 50's.....with the time difference...I'm a bit behind so going to do some research now....
Good morning everyone! Ok, seems that there is a bit of confusion about claiming a song before singing it and what to sing. This is why we put the links at the top of the page for the sock hop, they give some songs and artists so that you can get the general idea as most of you are way to young to remember sock hops ;) Here are the rules we posted, which does not say you must claim a song but states that you must sing and post one that no one else has done:

You will have to do your research and please make sure you put the name of song, group you are in , year of your song and link in your entry post.
We did not intend to make this difficult on some of you, we just thought it would be easier than making a list for you to choose from as we get contestants that do not wish to learn a song, come late then say there are no songs they know, don't like the songs that are left, and leave the contest. So we decided to let you pick from this Era a song that you know, like, and want to sing.
Hope this is clear , it's 3:30 am here and I am trying to make sense after reading some pm's I got.
Please have a look at Shannan and JimP's posts.. this is what we were asking in the rules.
Ok, back to bed for me, have a blast just wanted to clear things up!
I hope I posted this right. I'll stick with this one since I've already posted it but it was my second choice. Someone had "claimed" my first choice so I claimed and sang this one.
