January 6, 2022 Record of the Day

The Everly Brothers are one of the most successful duos in the history of Rock and Roll. Among their early hits is “Wake up Little Susie.” It’s ironic that these wholesome singers had their #1 hit banned in Boston. The fact that a boy and a girl would fall asleep together at the movies, as they did in the song, was too much to tolerate. Oh, how times have changed. The 45, released on Cadence Records in 1957, is worth up to $25.00 while the picture sleeve by itself can sell for $125.00 today.
