Teenage tearjerkers

Nevertheless, Rosie was one of those female singers that melted my heart. Looked great, and "Angel Baby" just slayed me... (Classic "belly-rubbin'" slow-dance song...)
I changed the title, here's another one:
When I was 16 a girl sang this to me on a street corner, never forgot it. Never saw her again.
One of the first singles I ever bought, because of the little bass solo in the beginning.

Oh yeah! LOVED this!
Now this/these wasn't/weren't tearjerkers, but they sure tugged on MY heartstrings. In 8th grade, my family moved to a different section of the same town (Johnstown, PA). I missed my old friends, so every day I'd hitch-hike back to the old neighborhood to hang out.
One day when I got to the main road from which I would start my thumbing journey, I saw something going on in a parking lot of a store. Looked like they were about to have some type of music, so I walked up the parking lot to see what was going on.
It was The Pixies Three ("442 Glenwood Avenue", etc.) getting ready to sing. I was right up front and they were interacting with the audience (and with me). Needless to say, I was on cloud 9. After the show, I started thumbing to the old neighborhood. In my fantasy world, I was hoping The Pixies Three would pick me up in their limo and smother me with lovin'.
But alas, it didn't happen. Don't remember for sure, but I probably caught a ride with some gnarled old redneck in a chicken truck... 
Anyway, here are "my girls"...
This is a very lachrymose song
I also loved Ray's version of "Corinna Corinna".

Wow, cool, lots of great music from PA, NJ too. I love that old stuff. Everyone bashes the early 60's but I like it.
My teenage years were in the 80s, and DM just launched Memento Mori, so

Oh yeah, then there’s these twins of tragedy…
Maybe not teen bait, but this is a classic hanky grabber…
