"Tell Me (You're Coming Back)" #24 8/8/1964 Bonus

From August 1964, the first Top 40 record in America for the Rolling Stones. Oddly, it was not released as a single in the UK. This wasn't quite as rowdy as their first few records and was the first A-side written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It certainly wouldn't be their last composition to reach hit status, either.

"I Wanna Love Him So Bad" #9 8/8/1964 Bonus

A one-hit wonder from Jersey City, the Jelly Beans recorded this Jeff Barry/Ellie Greenwich song and had a Top 10 in August 1964. Unfortunately, they got lost in the shuffle at their label, as company management paid more attention to groups like the Shangri-Las and the Dixie Cups. The Jelly Beans broke up the next year.

"You're My World" #26 8/1/1964 Bonus

The only US Top 40 hit for Cilla Black, but she was extremely successful in her native UK. Cilla was discovered by Beatles manager Brian Epstein while working as a coat check girl at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool. She went on to have a total of 14 Top 20 hits over there and became a mainstay on British TV for decades as a hostess and star of several shows. (They call the host or hostess a presenter over there.) Backing vocals by the Breakaways, from August '64.

"Farmer John" #19 8/1/1964 Bonus

The only hit for the Premiers, a garage band composed of Latino guys from East L.A. who came from the area that also produced Chris Montez and Ritchie Valens, among many others. This record from August '64 contains overdubbed party noises and backing vocals by female members of a car club.

"Coming On Strong" #11 12/3/1966

Radio's playing some forgotten song, Brenda Lee "Coming On Strong." Rest assured "Radar Love" has forever immortalized this tune, the last of 18 Top 20 records on the pop charts for Little Miss Dynamite. Like many other 60's rockers, Brenda turned to country music in the 70's and early 80's. Her last big country hit was a collaboration with the Oak Ridge Boys called "Broken Trust."

"Nobody I Know" #12 8/1/1964 Bonus

The second release in America and in their native UK for Peter and Gordon was another Lennon-McCartney song, as was their first single "A World Without Love." It seemed only natural, as Paul was dating Peter Asher's sister Jane, that he would feed songs to the duo. It wasn't quite the success the first one was, but still did very well over here in August of '64.

"Dang Me" #7 8/1/1964 Bonus

From the first week of August 1964, the first Top 10 pop record for Roger Miller was also his first #1 country record. He claimed to have written it in four minutes while sitting in a Phoenix hotel room. For the song, Roger pictured himself in a booth at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville getting hammered. It featured his sometimes squirrely delivery, which became something of a trademark.
