It is generally believed that the most popular Big Band leader of the 30’s and 40’s was Tommy Dorsey. Until Elvis came along, Dorsey was RCA’s biggest selling recording star. Ironically, it was Tommy’s brother, Jimmy, who highlighted Elvis in his TV show for 6 consecutive weeks at the beginning of 1956. In 1945, Vogue Records released the picture disc, “Cocktails for Two,” featuring Tommy Dorsey. It’s worth up to $1,000.00 today.

A preacher at the age of nine, Solomon Burke was a pioneer in Soul music. Mick Jagger covered three of Burke’s songs on early albums by the Rolling Stones. Ironically, it was a Country song, “Just out Of Reach (Of My Two Open Arms)” that was his first hit in 1961. He is probably best known for his Soul-flavored single, “Cry to Me.” The 45 on Atlantic Records can now fetch $20.00. His 1962 debut album, “Solomon Burke,” released on Apollo Records, is worth up to $400.00 today.

In 1967, the Box Tops went all the way to #1 with, “The Letter, ” thanks to lead singer, Alex Chilton. The 45 on Mala Records is worth no more than $15.00. In 1968, the band reached #2 with “Cry like a Baby.” Chilton said his singing voice was not his natural voice but a result of too much drinking and lack of sleep. He left the Box Tops in 1970 and formed Big Star, which was commercially unsuccessful but a heavy influence on bands such as R.E.M. In 1979, Chilton went solo and recorded the album “Like Flies on Sherbert.” Released on Peabody Records, a copy is worth up to $350.00 today.

The Prisonaires’ most valuable record, “There Is Love in You,” released on Sun Records in 1954, is worth up to $8,000.00 today.

Do You Love Me” was a song written by Barry Gordy for the Temptations. However, when the Temptations were late for a recording session, Gordy gave it the Contours to record.

The original “Do You Love Me,” released on Gordy Records, is worth no more than $25.00 but a previous single, “Funny,” by the Contours, released in 1961 on Motown Records, is worth up to $500.00 today.

Ricky Nelson had nine top-10 singles in a row in the late 1950’s. However, the Rock-a-billy influence began to fade by the end of the decade, and Ricky’s music gave way to the softer more polished sounds of the early 1960’s. This change was reflected on his 1960 album, “More Songs by Ricky.” Released on Imperial Records, a black vinyl copy is worth up to $200.00 while a blue vinyl copy as seen here can get you $750.00 today.
