Lollipop by the Chordettes hit the top 40 in 1958. Blue Velvet, by Booby Vinton was a hit in 1963. The Moonglows did a wonderful rendition of Blue Velvet (far better than Bobby Vinton's in my opinion,) but it was an R & B hit, never cracking the more white-bread Billboard top 40.

Hi, Jimmy... we're on your turf, now...
