"Where Will The Words Come From" #21 1/28/1967

At the start of 1967, Gary Lewis was drafted into the Army. Like Elvis, he could've gotten an easy gig in the military due to his name (being Jerry's son), but like the King he served as a regular soldier. While stationed in South Korea, Gary's label, Imperial Records, released previously recorded material (as RCA did with Elvis) but he and the Playboys couldn't quite recapture their earlier success. They would have one more Top 20 hit in 1968 and that was pretty much it.
