May 26, 2024 Records of the Day

In 1962, one of the songs to top the Billboard Hot 100 was inspired by Jackie Kennedy, then first lady of the United States. But, before release, the title is changed from “Jackie” to “Terry.” But, that’s not the final title change. One of the group’s members convinces the others to name the song after a friend. Her name is Sherry. It will be the Four Seasons’ first big hit. The 45 on Vee-Jay Records is worth up to $25.00 today. The “Sherry” album on Vee-Jay can now sell for $75.00.
