On this day in 1960 {June 8th} Freddy Cannon began a week long engagement* at the Empire Theater in Glasgow, Scotland...At the time his "The Urge" was at #18 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart, that was also its peak position on the British chart...While back in the U.S.A., "Jump Over", the A-side of "The Urge", was at #29 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eight days later on June 20th it peaked at #28 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the chart for 10 weeks...* Also sharing the bill with 'Boom - Boom' for the week was fifties rocker, Gene Vincent...

the best thing about Freddy Cannon apart from his unique voice is the saxophone section and the circus atmosphere
