When I woke up this morning, You Were On My Mind.

"(T)he biggest change that has taken place in the entertainment business is the speed with which stars are born". Fred Astaire - who saw more than a few come and go, including every performer associated with this song. 

The folk duo, Ian Tyson and Sylvia Fricker (Sylvia wrote it) who first recorded it in 1964
We 5 with Beverly Bivens - 
They cleaned up the "drunk and sick" lyric, added some jingle jangle and took it to the Top Ten. Bev retired from the music biz the following year leaving The Four stranded.

We 5 semi-live on Hollywood Palace
Crispian St. Peters, The Pied Piper, who once promised he would be bigger than some group called The Beatles.  This one was a hit in Europe. Couldn't tell you why.
