Fantastic Oldies Game!

Like "Three Stars" a spoken record, "The Teen Commandments" was an unusual single from a few months before which featured an inspirational talk by three ABC-Paramount recording artists, Paul Anka, Geo. Hamilton IV, and Johnny Nash.
 
Hopefully no one needs reminding of "The Ten Commandments Of Love" from The Moonglows from 1958 on Chess Records, b/w "Mean Old Blues," which is not to be confused with Roy Orbison's "Mean Woman Blues."
 
Then there were "THE TEEN COMMANDMENTS" by Paul Anka. Google that for a classic. #10 is "Stop and Think before You Drink."

Words of wisdom too late for Christopher Moltisanti (Soprano's)
 
"Try To Remember" is a very memorable song from the long running off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks, which starred Jerry Orbach before his TV success, and it charted in the mid-1960s for Ed Ames, The Brothers Four, and Roger Williams.
 
Remember "I'd Rather Get Hurt All At Once" from Froggy & The Destinations on Cameo Parkway? A great side that has been forgotten!
 
One of the great girl groups on Cameo was The Orlons, whose first three hits, "The Wah Watusi," "Don't Hang Up," and "South Street," were big ones indeed; I hum "South Street" whenever I'm in Philadelphia on South Street (where my daughter shops at the Whole Foods -- it's still the "hippest street in town"!).
 
I liked the Sherrys with Pop Pop Pop eye in 1962. WYNR in Chicago played it alot.
 
You don't need to know much about history, or biology, or a science book, or the French you took to know that you love the song "Wonderful World," a hit three times over, for Sam Cooke and Herman's Hermits in the 60s, and then for Art Garfunkel with James Taylor & Paul Simon in the 70s.
 
What A Wonderful World was first performed by Louis Armstrong in the late 1960s and while it was not immediately successful in the US, it was a major success in the UK, where it was used as the opening theme for the original radio broadcast of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
 
Don't forget Motown Marvin Gaye's great record called Hitchhike. (Hitchhike Baby)

Elvis had some advice to his girlfriend in the late 50s with the hit, Don't
 
After Elvis Presley died of heart failure, at the age of 42 at Graceland in August 1977, his first posthumous hit was "My Way" from his Elvis in Concert album, a song written by Paul Anka and most closely associated with Frank Sinatra who charted with it eight years earlier.
 
Can you imagine, the King being found dead on his throne, with his pants around his ankles, and didn't have a chance to wipe? What a sorry ending! Truly a Wipeout.

There are many Sorry songs, including these:
-I'm Sorry, Brenda Lee.
-Who's Sorry Now? - Connie Francis.
-Sorry (I Ran All The Way Home)- Impalas
-I'm Sorry- The Platters (different song from Brenda Lee's).
