    Billy Fury|Turn My Back On You| UK Decca LF1329|1960 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQI3Uj_eiJA

    Joe Turner|Rebecca|Atlantic LP1332|1960 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37uXmlaxpQg

    Gene Vincent|She She Little Sheila|Capitol T1342|1960 ** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR4pSzR4ffQ

    The pop number from 1960 that came closest to being included here is

    Peggy Lee|Till There Was You|Capitol T1290|1960 ** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGJxA-Xyiyk

    La Lee was always one of the better pop songstresses and this is a show
    tune I always liked (even by The Beatles who seem to me to follow Peg's
    version on their rendition)

    Several of these are favorites for me, especially the Drifters (#14) and
    Billy Fury (#30) and the Joe Turner (#24) which is a revamp of many of
    his 30s and 40s things put together with a new title. Those 3 are all
    nines for me.
