August 19, 2021 Records of the Day

One of the most successful groups in Rock N Roll was the Olympics who first hit big with “(My Baby Loves the) Western Movies,” a top-10 Billboard hit from 1958. In 1959, they were responsible for popularizing the dance craze called the Hully Gully. Other hits included “Big Boy Pete,” and “Shimmy Like Kate.” In 1960, the Olympics charted with “Dance by the Light of the Moon.” The single on Arvee Records is worth up to $20.00 but the “Dance by the Light of the Moon” album can sell for $125.00 today.
