“Fever”<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/h1>\n

Little Willie John first recorded “Fever”, a song written by Eddie Cooley and Otis Blackwell (as John Davenport) in 1956 for King. It was a #1 smash on the R&B charts and it even crossed over to #24 on the elusive pop charts. The tune was so popular that it led to many immediate covers. In 1957, both Ray Peterson and Earl Grant took a crack at it. Then in 1958, Peggy Lee put her unique, seductive stamp on it and it rose to #8 on the pop charts and an incredible #5 on the R&B lists. In 1960, Elvis featured “Fever” on “Elvis Is Back,” his first LP after being discharged from the Army. Alvin Robinson bubbled under the Hot 100 in 1964 with a great retelling of the song and the McCoys followed up their “Sloopy” success with a top ten version of “Fever” in 1965. Now, listen to them all and decide which one you truly DIG THE MOST! <\/span><\/p>\n

Also on this week’s program, we feature some birthday tributes to Bobby Darin, Troy Shondell and Charlie Gracie.<\/span><\/p>\n
