i never thought of using TB as a 'prosthetic' for my own older-than-rocks memory limitations/issues. this is great! does anyone remember who sang all those great old james brown tunes?

I don't get it.

I remember "Since I Fell For You" by Lenny Welch playing on one of the first few episodes.

the only Happy Days song outside of the credits I can recall:
Put Your Head on My Shoulder , sung by Potsie...



I Just old enough to remember begin disappointed when they dropped Rock Around The Clock from the opening credits.

I must admit I don't get it, either.

"does anyone remember who sang all those great old james brown tunes?" I guess it's over my head.

I'm not sure, but I think Bobby Vee sang all of those old James Brown tunes.

I think Nelson sang those Merle Haggard ditties. Or maybe that was Streisand. Age, damn!

Anson Williams also sang "Splish Splash".

But the most important one he did was in a later season when they were in college. He was having trouble learning biology (he was not a visual learner) so he wrote a song called "Pumps Your Blood" to help him remember by the auditory practice. The professor accused him of cheating so he got up in class to sing the song.

Out of the last 3 posts, the Johnnie Ray is the only possibility.


WOW
Well, I just listened to "Cry" by Jonnie Ray. Awesome! Amazing! Extraordinary! It's not exactly the one I was thinking of, BUT...I think it was used exactly in the same kind of scenes I described. (The vocal even sounds like the Kingston Trio song.)
Great find!
"Cry" is probably even be better than the one I originally thought of, but there is still the other one I'm a little curious about.
(But honestly I don't care as much anymore)
But Johnnie Ray's is definitely the superior song! I'm in love with this song now.
Thanks! This really made my day.

The "nabob of sob"; he suffered hearing loss, and had to use the crude, clunky hearing aids of the times. His condition impacted the way he sang. It's been said that, even though he was from a different generation and musical milieu, his histrionic vocal style influenced early rockers.

Was it Little Richard? Can I hit it and quit?

The song you're thinking of is "Little white cloud that cried" - Johnny Ray
