MY LIFE IN 1958
EC's Is Hopin' Its Great in '58 Well, one thing for sure, pilgrim, music is great in '58... it's the time of rockabilly, a blend of rock and hillbilly music... it's the time of joyful rock 'n' roll, sweet rhythm and blue and teenybop pop and rock from the likes of Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell and the Everly Brothers... a time of great do-wops groups and a slew of pretty ladies like Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, McGuire Sisters, Fontane Sisters and Chordettes, plus many other one-hit wonders... it's Happy Days all across the whole wide USA. It's April, 1958... on top of the country charts is Don Gibson, who has a two-sided hit with "Oh Lonesome Me" backed with one the greatest song ever written, "I Can't Stop Loving You" ... Don Gibson penned both classics. So all you buckaroos and little darlin's, too, get ready for EC to bless and annoint your pretty little peapickin' ears with the country's number one country song "Oh Lonesome Me". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc-2eO8FJzk Don Gibson reached the top spot on the country charts with "Oh Lonesome Me" and stayed there for 8 weeks... on the other side of the record, which was called the B-side, was one of the greatest songs ever written "I Can't Stop Loving You"... it reached #7 on the country charts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhJVLOoG5dQ R&B singer, the great Ray Charles, recorded "I Can't Stop Loving You" 2 years later and had the biggest song of his illustrious career with it and also the biggest and best-selling album of his career with "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music". All you little darlin's and all you buckaroos need to listen to Brother Ray's version, too... it's a good 'un... yep, it a darn good 'un. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDqwmaI_IdU |

Monday, April 7, 1958 WIDE OPENER RACE PREDICTED FOR '58 SI SECONDARY LEAGUE The two best clubs are gone from the South Island Secondary League... Meraux and Anderson have been promoted to the senior league, the Supreme League... that means it's anybody's pennant to win in 1958... the two new teams in the league did not fare well in the first weekend of play... fresh from the Supreme League, Guedon fell to Grin Hill 8-1 and Pelham lost to New Yerby in extra innings 7-2... Billings looked good besting Parkland in 12 innings 9-5 and Columbia outplayed the Braxton Bruins 4-1. South Island Secondary Stars of the Week |

MY LIFE IN 1958
EC's Hopin' It's Great in '58 OK, guys and gals, it's the first week of April... let's check out the Billboard Pop Chart and see what sizzling on Top 40 radio, daddy-o. For the 4th straight week the Champs have the number one song... cowboy star Gene Autry owned the record label... the Champs got their name from Gene Autry's horse "Champion"... here is a great Latin instrumental called "Tequila". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbFOqaRM_TI Last edited by Eugene Church; 04-25-2022 at 09:36 PM. |
