A bit overshadowed amid the many other celebrity deaths this year, but
Trini Lopez died a while back so I'm using that as an excuse to
represent his biggest hit. Also notably a Top 50 bookended by versions
of the same song (not the only song with competing versions) and a week
that doubtless caused great excitement at Decca as Brian Poole And The
Tremoloes knocked the Beatles off Number One.
