Bobby Day and My First Fave

rewind

I've had several favourite songs these past few decades.  At one point I remember a Duran Duran single being my favourite, then there was Billy Idol, then Guns N' Roses, Public Enemy and Nirvana.  My first favourite song, however, as memory serves, was sung by Bobby Day.

In 1958, Bobby Day released what would be his only hit single, "Rockin' Robin".  In my youth, I loved music from the 50s and 60s, and "Rockin' Robin" appeared on a compilation cassette I would play over and over and over again.  "Rockin' Robin", along with "Chantilly Lace" by The Big Bopper, was my first favourite song.
