"Running Scared" #1 6/10/1961

This #1 from June 1961 by Roy Orbison could be one of the greatest songs of angst ever. The listener keeps being drawn into the notion of the guy consciously avoiding his girl's former beau, but in an unexpected plot twist the guy gets and keeps the girl. Roy hit some ridiculous notes here, because he just sang his ass off on this one. Man, I love this record.
