It's quite the irony for me. Dave Clark Five's "Over And Over" (#1 Dec. 1965) was the very last #1 song I collected of the rock era. It was Jan. 1991 at the time and that song had been on top just 25 years (& a few days) before. I have their 1960s "Best of LP" but i still want to have "all" of their hits.

I wonder if this incident will open the eyes of the people at The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame,in that,they should not wait so long to give these classic yet aging acts their due. Had they been inducted sooner,Mike Smith could be there.

Thanks for your fun songs,that I heard on oldies radio for the first time in the early 80s and may you rest in peace.
