In 1958, Bobby Day had a hit that has become one of the great oldies of all time, known by young and old alike. That song is “Rockin Robin.” In 1965, the Dave Clark Five recorded “Over and Over,”a song which is on the flip side of Bobby Day’s “Rockin Robin.” Of all the hits the Dave Clark Five had, their version of “Over and Over” is their only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. A regular black vinyl copy on Epic Records is worth up to $40.00 with its picture sleeve.  A red vinyl promo copy jumps the value up to $200.00. (The promo copies that were sent to radio stations can be worth a lot more than the copies sold in stores. Check “Mighty John’s Promo Records Guide” in the yellow strip above for more free samples.)

On December 2,1969, Cindy Birdsong of the Supremes was kidnapped by a maintenance man who lived in the building where she lived. With a knife at her throat, she jumped out of his car on the San Diego Freeway. The cops caught the kidnapper in Vegas four days later. You can imagine them saying, “Stop in the name of the law” while thinking of the Supremes’ giant hit, “Stop in the Name of Love.” Released on Motown in 1965, the 45 is now worth up to $100.00 with its picture sleeve.

In September of 1990 Gunnar and Matthew Nelson, twin sons of Ricky Nelson, are #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Love and Affection,” making them the 3^RD generations of Nelsons to have a #1 hit. Their grandfather, Ozzie,” was on top of the charts in 1932 with “And Then Some.” Their dad, Ricky, did it with “Travelin’ Man” in 1961. The grandsons and granddad, however, are not too collectible. Their #1 hits are worth no more than $10.00 but Ricky is another story. His #1 hit of “Travelin’ Man,” released on Imperial Records, can fetch $50.00 with its picture sleeve. Make it $4,000.00 for a copy on blue vinyl.

They say Chubby Checker got his stage name from Dick Clark’s wife who thought he looked like Fats Domino. Therefore, Fats was changed to Chubby and Domino to Checker. He was the king of the Twist, the Pony, the Hucklebuck, the Fish, the Fly and numerous other dance crazes of the 60s. However, it’s one of his lesser-known 45s that is worth the most money. A copy of “The Twist” on Parkway Records might fetch $30.00 today but his little-known single on Parkway from 1966 called “You Just Don’t Now” can sell for $800.00. Make it up to $1,500.00 for a promo copy as seen here.
