May 28, 2021 Records of the Day

Among the one-hit wonders of the early 60’s is Kris Jensen, thanks to songwriter and hit-maker John D Loudermilk. After the Everly Brothers turned down Loudermilk’s composition of “Torture,” it was given to Kris Jensen who took it to the top-20 on the Billboard Hot 100. After seeing its success, the Everly Brothers did record it but to no avail. Their 45 of “Torture,” released by Warner Brothers, is worth no more than $15.00 while Kris Jensen’s album “Torture” on Hickory Records from 1962 is worth up to $150.00 today.
