It stood alone that week as the only foreign-language tune in the Top 100. J13 Songs, 52 minutes This compilation (P) 2005 Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. You were wide awake in 1960 when you so often heard Sailor (Your Home Is the Sea) (Kapp 349), by a single-name artist known as Lolita.īorn Ditta Einzinger in Austria, Lolita must have been as surprised as anyone to see her Sailor sail all the way into the U.S. Green, Yellow and Red (Live) Bonus Track 5:15. Do you? Please tell me I didn't just dream this up. Not only is this favorite of mine never played on any of the oldies radio stations, but I find that no one else remembers this obscure song. It is by a female artist, and almost all the lines are sung in German.
I'm inquiring about a very popular Detroit area song from the early '60s. On The Beat (Tempus 7541), the Rockin' R's, Ron Volz and Ron Wernsman, both play guitars and are joined by drummer Ted Minar. This single first came out in late 1958 and carried over into early '59.
Your recollection of the time is also accurate.
But you are correct about the group being from Illinois, as it began in Metamora, about 136 miles southwest of Chicago. I loved this tune and would really appreciate any details.Ĭontrary to your research, The Beat, by a trio named the Rockin' R's, did indeed make the national Top 60, so its success reached beyond Chicagoland. Around 1959, when I was learning to play the guitar, one of the hits was an instrumental that featured guitars.
