Couple rock and roll trivia questions for you – name the first Beatles’ tune to ever appear on the Billboard charts. Second, you know him by his stage name of Del Shannon, but do you know what his real name was?
Answer to the first query is in the following discussion. As for Del Shannon, he grew up as Charles Weedon Westover. (Can you see why he changed his name?)
Note that the mention of someone named Shannon always makes me think of a young lady whom I met years ago at the racetrack in Hot Springs, Arkansas (click here for that story.)
