Title: A New Question that even found me out.
Post by alpineseven on 10/01/06 at 14:54:45

Way back in the 80s Brendan Balfe had a show on a Sunday afternoon and always threw out the odd question most were easy enough but this one even had the so called experts cringing me included.Here it is and its a good one.What well known Irish artist released a single back in 1962 called Remember Me Huh on the Oriole label under the name Mark Dwayne. ;D ;D ;D

Hey TP....I found the record title but it's not recorded by your mystery man. This one was recorded in 1962 by Bobby Vee. Written by Goffin & King. Is it the same song? 8)

Hey TP. Did you know that your mystery man also recorded another song in '62 on the Oriole label? It was called 'Little Bitty Heart' (A-side) with 'Today's Teardrops' on the B-side. Also he was on 'Thank your lucky stars' in the same year. 8)
