Here's both sides of the highest charting single by Lee Andrews and The Hearts. This was #20 in 1957. A couple more of Lee and The Hearts' songs charted, but I don't think either of them ever cracked the top 20. The B-Side's quite a contrast to the hit here.
You may also be interested in this newspaper article which mentions the upcoming (in 1972) performance at a Pittsburgh mosque's "Oldies Night". Be sure to check out the movie ads in that paper, too. Just think...you could've gone to the mosque to see Lee Andrews and The Hearts and then hit the Colonial Drive-In to see Rosey Grier and Ray Milland in The Thing With Two Heads, possibly on the same night. What a world!

Show me a man that's got a good woman...
That's Joe Tex from "The Joe Tex Show" tearing up "Show Me".
Against the better side of my human nature, I actually read the comments on this youtube video to try to find out when and where there was ever a "Joe Tex Show", and while there was one commenter wondering the same thing, there was no answer. Does anyone know about this?
Here's Joe slowing it down for the kids on Hullabaloo with "The Love You Save"

The Astonishing Cab Calloway
I actually got to see him perform at Atlanta's Chastain Park around 1992 (with The Professor and some friends), but Betty Boop wasn't there.
