It would be hard to believe today, but back in 1961, Chubby & Bobby were huge in the U.S. This duet album spent some 20 weeks in the Billboard Top 40 Album charts, peaking at #13 during the 1961-62 holiday season.Only a few people growing up in the 1960's who watched "The Jackie Gleason" show would remember who Frank Fontaine (who died in 1977), one of the impersonations that Bobby Rydell makes, but unfortunately, today too many people would know who Alvin And The Chipmunks are, thanks to countless movies and TV shows churned out by Ross Bagdasadrian's son, Ross Jr. with his wife Janice Karmen (who voices all three of the Chipettes, Brittany, Eleanor, and Jeanette.)Who would have thought the little rodent's popularity lasted this long after 57 years? The only reason I suggest is $$$$$$$$. Speaking of weird Chipmunks records, look for the mondo bizarro duet that Alvin & his brothers made with Liberty label-mates Canned Heat. Somebody at Liberty Records thought that this was a good idea at the time. It's weird and annoying, but the Canned Heat band makes it rock, somehow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
