"It Was I" reached No. 11 The song was ranked No. 84 on ''Billboard'' magazine's '' Top Hot 100'' songs of 1959. Lindsey Buckingham recording The song was later covered by American guitarist and vocalist Lindsey Buckingham, and was released as the second single off his debut album, ''Law and Order''. Unlike Buckingham's previous single "Trouble", "It Was I" was not a big hit for Buckingham, and also failed to match the success of the original Skip & Flip recording. The song only reached No. 10 on the ''Billboard'' Bubbling Under chart, an extension to the Hot 100. "It Was I" fared slightly better in Australia, where it managed to reach the No. 74 spot. Despite only achieving minor success in Australia, "It Was I" performed better there than any of Buckingham's subsequent singles, including "Go Insane", which only reached No. 100. Personnel * ...

Skip & Flip
Skip & Flip was a U.S. pop duo, consisting of Skip ( Clyde Battin) and Flip (Gary S. Paxton). They met while attending the University of Arizona in the late 1950s. Career Once known as The Rockabillies, they recorded on Rev Records as The Pledges and then as Gary & Clyde. Time Records picked up their Rev Records master "Why Not Confess"/"Johnny Risk" and then moved them to its Brent Records label, under the name Skip and Flip. Their recording of Paxton's song "It Was I" entered the U.S. Top 20 in 1959, peaking at No. 11, and the follow-up, "Fancy Nancy", charted at No. 71. Their next release, a revival of Marvin And Johnny's R&B hit single, "Cherry Pie", also made No. 11 but proved to be the last chart entry they recorded together. Paxton went on to record for several labels using several names, including the Hollywood Argyles, with which he topped the charts in 1960 with the novelty song "Alley-Oop". He also had hits as a producer and label owner. One of his records was "Mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kent Music Report
The Kent Music Report was a weekly record chart of Australian music singles and albums which was compiled by music enthusiast David Kent from May 1974 through to January 1999. The chart was re-branded the Australian Music Report (AMR) in July 1987. From June 1988, the Australian Recording Industry Association, which had been using the top 50 portion of the report under licence since mid-1983, chose to produce their own listing as the ARIA Charts. Before the Kent Report, ''Go-Set'' magazine published weekly Top-40 Singles from 1966, and Album charts from 1970 until the magazine's demise in August 1974. David Kent later published Australian charts from 1940 to 1973 in a retrospective fashion, using state by state chart data obtained from various Australian radio stations. Background Kent had spent a number of years previously working in the music industry at both EMI and Phonogram records and had developed the report initially as a hobby. The Kent Music Report was first release ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Songs Written By Gary S
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...

Go Insane (song)
"Go Insane" is the title track of Lindsey Buckingham's second solo album. Released as a single in July 1984, it became Buckingham's second top 40 hit (after "Trouble", three years earlier). "Go Insane" is also Buckingham's most recent U.S. solo hit (peaking at #23 in the '' Billboard'' Hot 100 chart); on the other hand, it did not chart in the United Kingdom. '' Billboard'' called it "aggressive, electronic dance-rock." Lyrics When asked about the lyrics of "Go Insane", he explained: In later years, Buckingham has stated that the song, "Go Insane", was actually written about his 7-year-old (at that time) post-break up relationship with former lover, Stevie Nicks. “We were disintegrating as couples, by virtue of that, we were suffering as people. So in order to get work done, I had to go through this elaborate exercise in denial – leaving whole areas of baggage on the other side of the room, compartmentalize feelings... no time to get closure, to work things out... wor ...

Trouble (Lindsey Buckingham Song)
"Trouble" is the debut solo single by Lindsey Buckingham, released in 1981 from his debut solo album ''Law and Order''. The single was Buckingham's first hit as a solo artist, peaking at number nine in the US and number 31 in the UK, where it remained charted for seven weeks. In Australia, it topped the chart for three weeks and became the eighth biggest-selling single of 1982. It experienced similar levels of success in South Africa, reaching number one for two weeks and finishing 1982 as the country's 13th best-selling single. Background "Trouble" was the only track on ''Law and Order'' on which Buckingham played neither bass or drums. Buckingham approached "Trouble" differently from his other songs, wanting the song to have more of a "live feel" and recruited his Fleetwood Mac bandmate, Mick Fleetwood, to play drums. However, Buckingham believed none of the takes were satisfactory from start to finish, so a taped loop of the drum track (about four seconds long) was used throug ...

Law And Order (album)
''Law and Order'' is the first solo album by Fleetwood Mac guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Lindsey Buckingham, released in 1981. "Trouble", featuring drumming by Fleetwood Mac bandmate Mick Fleetwood, reached 9 on the U.S. charts; the album itself reached No. 32 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Lindsey appeared on ''Saturday Night Live'' on February 6, 1982 and performed "Trouble" and "Bwana" with Mick Fleetwood's Zoo. Following the relative commercial failure of Fleetwood Mac's ''Tusk'' album, where many of the tracks were recorded in Buckingham's home studio, Mick Fleetwood informed Buckingham that the band was not interested in recording subsequent releases in the same manner. This was the impetus for Buckingham to create ''Law and Order''. "In that moment, I realized, 'If I wanna continue to take risks ndtry to define myself as an artist in the long term, I'm gonna have to start making solo albums.'"
