We've lost another of the great "record men" (http://blogs.tennessean.com/tunein/2009/10/07/shelby-singleton-famed-producer-record-executive-and-promoter-dies-at-77/)...
He was the guy (http://redkelly2.blogspot.com/) who broke records like Sea Of Love, Hey Paula, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Chantilly Lace, Running Bear, and on and on in those early days. He had a knack for listening to what the local disk jockeys and juke box operators had to say, and taking it nationwide.
They truly don't make them like him any more (http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-shelby-singleton9-2009oct09,0,4187635.story)...
