"Why" #1 1/2/1960

There wasn't much happening on the pop charts the first few weeks of 1967, so we'll throw in some #1 songs from the pre-British Invasion time frame of 1960-63. Here's the first of those from teen idol Frankie Avalon. He had another chart-topper in 1959 with "Venus." Frankie later teamed up with Annette Funicello in all those beach party movies and also had a small part in the movie version of "Grease" in 1978.
