Workin for The Man can be a real drag sometimes...

50 Years Ago This Week

The top five singles in the US, according to Cashbox, from this week in 1959:

Fleetwoods - Come Softly To Me

Elvis Presley - A Fool Such As I

Dodie Steves - Pink Shoe Laces

Frankie Avalon - Venus

Dave "Baby" Cortez - The Happy Organ

I only know one of these: Venus.
