Jimmy Boyd – was on the charts early – 1952 – with a number 1 record! – “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”. The following year he managed a number 3 hit with “Tell Me A Story” – and that was that – never again to chart. Jimmy passed away at the age of 70 in 2009. Gary Bonner co-wrote Turtle Hits including “Happy Together”, “You Know What I Mean”, “She’d Rather Be With Me” and “She’s My Girl”.
Bonner along with Alan Gordon wrote a ton of songs for others including “Cat in the Window” by Petula Clark, “Girls in Love” & “Jill” by Gary Lewis and Playboys, “Melancholy Music Man” by the Righteous Brothers, “Two in the Afternoon” by Dino, Desi and Billy. Here’s the entire listing! Jimmy Bowen of course is well known as a recording star and producer, but if anyone knows anything about these other artists or releases, let me know.
