Bobby Lewis passed away April 28 at the age of 95. He had been suffering from complications due to pneumonia.
His "Tossin' And Turnin'" was Billboard's #1 song of 1961, one of only 6 songs to spend at least 7 weeks topping the Hot 100 during the 60s.
- The Theme From "A Summer's Place" - Percy Faith Orchestra, 9 weeks, 1960
- Tossin' And Turnin' - Bobby Lewis, 7 weeks, 1961
- I Want To Hold Your Hand - Beatles, 7 weeks, 1964
- I'm A Believer - Monkees, 7 weeks, 1966
- Hey Jude - Beatles, 9 weeks, 1968
- I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye, 7 weeks, 1968/1969
Bobby's follow up "One Track Mind" would peak at #9, but further success would elude him. His career would be revived in the 70s with the inclusion of "Tossin' And Turnin'" on the American Graffiti and Animal House soundtracks.
