“Wheels” #3 3/6/1961

An accidental instrumental hit from March 1961 by the String-A-Longs. I say accidental because it was actually called “Tell The World” with another tune, “Wheels” as the B-side. However, their record company goofed and reversed the song titles on the labels. The group came from the Texas Panhandle and was produced by Norman Petty, who also produced fellow West Texan Buddy Holly’s recordings. A version by Billy Vaughn (who also did “A Swingin’ Safari”) got to #28.
