Jumping Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones

Here is the single version that topped the charts in 1968


Here is a live version from 1968

Really Oldie but Goodie

Here is Johnnie Ray and his legendary songs from 1951 "Cry" and the B side of that record "The Little White Cloud That Cried".

"Cry" would top Cashbox's best selling songs list from Feb 2nd 1952 to March 22nd 1952, and Billboard's Best Seller list from December 29th 1951 to March 8th 1952. The B side of "The Little White Cloud That Cried" reached #2 on the Billboard Best Sellers list.

An interesting note about Johnnie Ray, he went deaf in his right ear at the age of 13 from an accident and he performed wearing hearing aids. He had surgery in 1958 but that left him almost completely deaf in both ears and he needed hearing aids for both ears.
