Message Detail:
Good comments all on the career of Hank...and the notables he worked with.

Bobby Rydell did a lot of work with Medress as well...and Hank worked with Dave Appell (pronounced Apple) on a bunch of hits throughout the 60's.

It is very informative and interesting to go beneath the surface of the labels and airplay and see who did what...and what they did either between the hits or after they stopped altogether.

Example, people call Barrett Strong a one-hit wonder at Motown, but he was very successful in other areas for the label throughout the 60's.

Bob
