“My Boyfriend’s Back” #1 8/31/1963

From Labor Day weekend of 1963, a #1 for the Angels and one of the last major girl group hits. Written and produced by the team of Feldman-Goldstein-Gottehrer, also responsible for “I Want Candy” and “Hang On Sloopy.” Bob Feldman came up with the idea after witnessing an argument one night between a girl and a tough guy. She actually stated her boyfriend was coming back and this dude would be sorry he was ever born. The Angels were touring partners (and, uhhh, more) of the Four Seasons as noted in “Jersey Boys.”
