"Crying in the Rain" * The Everly Brothers

Growing up and singing with their parents on KMA Radio in Shenandoah, Iowa really paid off for them.

"Surfin USA"  by The Beach Boys

 

"If everybody had an ocean
Across the u.s.a.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A"

 

Check out this old video - so young in their high risers:

Now listen to this video...I never knew about Chuck Berry:

The lyrics are basically a guide to good surf locations, but the "Surfin' U.S.A." music was based on Chuck Berry's 1958 hit "Sweet Little Sixteen." The Beach Boys did it as a tribute to Berry, but didn't get his permission first - maybe because Berry was in jail for transporting a minor across state lines. When Berry threatened to sue, The Beach Boys agreed to give him most of the royalties and list him as the song's composer. The song also helped build Berry's legend while he served his time.
