Such lovely music. Almost wish I’d been born sooner.
Almost. :)

It is my belief that the seed for Ray Stevens' Guitarzan
came from Popsicles, Icicles.  Specifically, the lyrics  ---

He loves bright stars and guitars and ...

Thanks! Before my time, but this tune gets lots of airtime on the oldies stations I’ve listened to.

Written by David Gates who later went on to form the group, “Bread” and wrote & sang most of their hits.

A disc jockey on a local station claimed that “Popsicles and Icicles” first “broke out” in Indio, Calif., where it became a local hit in the summer of 1963.

If so, I’ll bet it was on the juke box at the Jumbo Burger, one of the most popular eateries in town.

This song, which came out about the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, has a similar sound.

Stop the Music--The Glitters (1962)

Here's a song that should be a big hit on FR:

The Conservative--The Orlons (1962)

I was 16. He was 17. It was our song. I wore his letter sweater, his senior ring on a chain around my neck, and the record thin. I can still sing every note, probably even in my sleep.

Now it's decades later. He and his wife live down the street. I'm so glad she's married to him and not me! Just whew!

Thanks for posting the song. It was an unexpected nostalgic journey to break up the routine afternoon. Doo-wop forever!
