"Sugar Lips" #30 8/15/1964 Bonus

The third and last Top 40 pop hit from late summer '64 for New Orleans jazz trumpeter Al Hirt. He was a French Quarter mainstay for decades and even owned his own club down there in the Vieux Carré. He was in countless Mardi Gras parades as well. Al became an original part-owner of the NFL's New Orleans Saints in 1967. This was used as the theme for the Bill Cullen-hosted 60's game show "Eye Guess."
