That song was "Bad To Me" by Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas, funny coincidence though, it was written by none other than John Lennon.
I was thinking that Peter and Gordon did it, but Billy J. Kramer was good as well. My personal likes as far as Rock & Roll goes, ranges from the early 50's to the mid 60's. So, after that, my knowledge is a bit sketchy.
Now I don't know details like you've pointed out, as far as who wrote what and all. But, there is a radio station in the area (104.7 FM) that plays MY kind of music and every weekday morning about 7:30 - 7:45 AM, they do a "Name That Tune" and they give away certificates for hamburgers and such from Hardy's and Subs from Quizno's and now they are giving away certificates for Pizza Subs from a local place called Steffy's. You can only participate if you haven't won in the last month. Every month, for the last 11 months, I have won a certificate for something to eat.
You are given about the 1st 3 notes of a song (and they will tell you the year 1st). Now, if the song was recorded after 1970, I'm not quite as good but I can still pick out a good number of them. Sometimes, when I give the answer, I am not sure about the exact title and will say (not sing
) the 1st line of the song and lots of times, the name is in the 1st line (not always though). I ALWAYS enjoy the oldies (maybe that's because I AM AN OLDIE!
Did I say that?
