    SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT: 4/10

    Oh, come on! It's better than that. I included it on my list of 1952 Favorites.

    It's WAY better than that. I've got a 9.

    Here's how this side fared for the Checkers in the 1952 Singles Battle

    PRELIM
    12 Fats Domino - You Know I Miss You - Imperial 5167
    6 The Checkers - Oh Oh Oh Baby - King 4558

    And in the later Vocal Groups Encore Battle

    R1
    3 The Jaguars -- Girl Of My Dreams -- R-Dell 117 -- 1960
    6 The Checkers -- Oh Oh Oh Baby -- King 4558 -- 1952

    R2
    5 Nino & The Ebb Tides -- Those Oldies But Goodies (Remind Me Of You) -- Madison 162 -- 1961
    6 The Checkers -- Oh Oh Oh Baby -- King 4558 -- 1952

    R3
    8 The Harptones -- My Memories Of You -- Tip Top 401 -- 1956
    4 The Checkers -- Oh Oh Oh Baby -- King 4558 -- 1952

    SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT: 4/10

    Another ridiculous grading (both sides on this are great but I give this one the edge)

    Here's my personal gradings for the 1952 Checkers singles

    Oh Oh Oh Baby - 8
    Night's Curtains - 8
    Flame In My Heart - 8
    Let Me Come Back - 7
