Let’s go way back to 1958 (65 years ago). A group from Cincinnati would record 4 sides and really nothing huge happened. But today the first record, a double sided hit, is a classic. A High Schooler William H. “Prez” Tyus, Jr. wrote two songs and they were recorded by a group called The Students.

The late Leroy king would be the lead on their 4 sides. It’s sad that in 1958 their double sided hit was not huge, but today is considered a Doo Wop Classic.
Every Day of The Week was recorded in 1958; In 1961 The Bristol Stomp was recorded but credited to different writers. To me, a layman, they are one and the same. Your thoughts?

Lead singer of the Dovells was Len Barry who recorded 123 as a solo artist. I saw Len Barry at a ski chalet in Huntsville Ontario on a bill including BJ Thomas and the Rascals.
Interesting never heard of them!

nice post!
Hi Gary. To answer your question, and this is based on my opinion only but after listening to both songs, the two songs are considerably different. They have different lyrics and different melody lines. While the chord sequence is the same, I – VIm – IV – V7, you cannot copyright the harmony line. That sequence has been featured in thousands of different songs over the last 100 years. Here’s a small sampling: Diana (Paul Anka), Sh-Boom (any version), Stay (Maurice Williams), Return To Sender (Elvis), Telstar (Tornadoes), Runaround Sue (Dion), Stand By Me (Ben E. King), Perfidia (any version), Donna (Ritchie Valens), Nickelodeon (Teresa Brewer). In general the rhythm and harmony parts of a song are not copyrightable.
