Great Music - Round 2: 1960-1964 (Group 9 of 16)

[mae]

During the second round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to three tracks you would like to move onto the next round. The top three tracks will be moving on. Keep in mind that the percentage of the vote a given track receives will determine its standing going forward.

IMPORTANT! Please do not simply vote on name recognition (or lack thereof) alone. Please do listen to each nomination and then make your choice. Even if you think you know a track well, it's still worth giving it a listen for a refresher.

The poll will run for seven days. Discussion is greatly encouraged!

The nominees are (please let me know if any video doesn't play for you):

Hell of a playlist here...

The Brian Hyland song is silly but it's so much fun :fairy: Love it.

I hope Neil Sedaka - Breaking Up Is Hard to Do (1962) makes it through. Sedaka was a songwriting giant who had some great hits as a singer as well. The fact that I can Karaoke many of them speak to the simple yet inspired catchiness of his tunes.

I'm surprised to see Barry Mann leading both Neil Sedaka and Brian Hyland for the third spot.
