May 27, 2022 Records of the Day

The Hollywood Argyles had a number one hit in 1960 with a song called “Alley-Oop” based on the comic book character of the same name. The 45 is worth up up $30.00. But, there was not a real group called the Hollywood Argyles. It was just Gary Paxton, producer, writer, and hit-maker. After “Alley-Oop” became a smash hit, Paxton had to put a group together to go on the road to cash in on his giant novelty hit. The “Alley-oop” album, released on Lute Records in 1960, is worth up to $400.00 today.
