“Hushabye” (Jay and the Americans) #62 6/21/1969

Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman wrote a sizable number of hits in the early days of rock and roll. “Little Sister,” “Viva Las Vegas,” “Save The Last Dance For Me,” “I Count The Tears,” the list goes on. They wrote “This Magic Moment,” huge for both the Drifters and Jay and the Americans. Jay Black and the guys also covered another Pomus/Shuman tune here, a doo-wop hit in 1959 for the Mystics.
