I always liked "I'm a Happy Man" which, I believe, was a much bigger hit in New York than it was nationally. "Take Me Back" by Little Anthony & the Imperials jumped from 30 to 12.
They were from Brooklyn so maybe that explains it. We saw Eugene Pitt at a doo wop concert a few years ago, and 10 years ago The Jive Five (with Pitt) headlined a Doo-Wop Spectacular at our local high school, along with Lenny Coco & The Chimes, The Fireflies, and The Excellents (Coney Island Baby).

"My Name is Mud" by Eddie Rambeau?
I guess whoever picked that one was a little off.

That Jive Five number didn't make a dent in Texas, or if it did, I didn't hear it.
