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.

”She was sent from down below.” That’s what Ernie K-Doe sang about his mother-in-law. But he should have thanked her for giving him a million-seller that hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961. Released on Minit Records, a copy of “Mother-In Law” is worth up to $50.00. In 1971, Janus Records released “Here Comes the Girls” by Ernie K-Doe. He could have shown his appreciation for his mother-in-law by giving her a bunch of those singles. A copy can sell for $400.00 today.
