1961 HITS ARCHIVE: Take Good Care Of My Baby - Bobby Vee (a #1 record)

Details

Description

Take Good Care Of My Baby (King-Goffin) by Bobby Vee, with the Johnny Mann Singers

Carol(e) King and Gerry Goffin wrote Bobby’s most popular single hit, which spent multiple weeks at the top. “Run To Him” and “Rubber Ball” were his other two top-5 charting releases this year and can also be found here in the 1961 Hits Archive.

Pop Chart Peaks: #1 on Billboard, Cash Box & Music Vendor - UK Chart Peaks: 1* (NME, RM), 2 (MM, D), 3 (RR)

* While the most commonly referenced “Official” UK singles chart history from this period utilizes data from only one of the five existing nationally-published music periodicals (Record Retailer…in which this record did not reach the top), for historical reference our channel also credits as “#1 UK hit” any title which achieved that peak in one or more of the other four charts (New Musical Express, Melody Maker, Record Mirror & Disc).

THE 1961 HITS ARCHIVE - here in one place, a good-quality library of original-release-version best-sellers and songs that made an impact that were either released or enjoyed a major chunk of their popularity within the calendar year 1961 (some were recorded in 1960).
