Re: Richard Burton's A Married Man--his version actually charted, believe it or don't.
Chart guru Joel Whitburn is headquartered in Menomonee Falls, WI, the tiny town Betsy is from. I had just discovered Joel's books shortly before getting engaged to Betsy, so when we were back there for our wedding on a lark I called his office and it turns out the entire staff went to school with either Betsy or her brothers, so they invited me over. It was a total trip--a fairly small office stacked literally floor to ceiling with thousands, probably tens of thousands, of copies of Billboard. Joel was out that day so I didn't get to see the super-secret vault containing his rare 45s.
I am a one-hit wonder fanatic (though some of these are actually two-hit wonders, or only-charted-on-AC wonders):
Bossa Rio (Sergio Mendes' spinoff group)--"With Your Love Now"
Lani Hall (Sergio's former lead singer with Brasil '66 and Mrs. Herb Alpert)--"Where's Your Angel"
Brent Bourgeois--"Dare to Fall in Love"
Nick DeCaro (great staff arranger at A&M)--"If I Only Had Time"
And in the beating a dead horse (and/or actress) department--fans of NPR should stay tuned. There's going to be a major story done later this year perhaps related to my favorite posting subject. I am currently sworn to secrecy but y'all will be the first to know.
