Sad news about Richard Sherman....He also wrote that great Pop record for Johnny Burnett in 1960 called You're Sixteen and I am one of the few people on here that remembers it

Now don't try and kid me Man Cub
That happens to be true.
It didn't reach the top
Number 8 it stopped
But that's not bothering me.
I wanna hear more of these records.
The very best in town.
Its my desire.
Forget Red Fire.
I'm tired of Monkeyin' around

A point for me, as Sherman gets his obit. in the latest Private Eye.
And farewell also to singer Colin Gibb, of Black Lace.
Steve R's got all their records.
All together now, "Agadoo-doo-doo....."
