ALONG CAME JONES The Coasters

[Daniel Shywaoub]

Okay, I must inaugurate this 50s folder! A song in our latest podcast hails from this decade; '59 to be exact. This song is probably my favorite as opposed to their more-obvious hit "Charlie Brown"; one of six Top 10 hits they had. This told the story of a guy sitting around watching TV; no Facebook to check in '59! I'm not sure when I picked up on liking this, but it wasn't in my childhood; it came out 7 years before I was born. Probably was in a commercial or something more-recently; can't remember now, I downloaded it on iTunes many years back!

I certainly remember this. I was 16 years old when this came out in June 1959. Of course, I like it. I like almost every record from 1959. Music was so much better then than it is now.
