Crying is one of my picks, but it goes back to 1961 I believe. I'll listen to the others. Great singer.
wikipedia says: The song was released as a 45-rpm single by Monument Records in July 1961 and reached No. 1 on the United States Cashbox chart for a week on October 7, 1961, and peaking at No. 2 on the rival Billboard Hot 100. Despite not reaching the summit in the latter publication, Billboard ranked the record as the No. 4 song of 1961
Crying was a big hit!

I might try to find a video with a better speaker balance when we get to 1961.
Leah-- pretty good. vaguely remember.
The flip side of Crying was "Candy Man", also a hit, and the one written by Fred Neil (who did "The Dolphins," my #4 all-time, 1966).
The Crying wikisite also lists "Running Scared" and "Dream Baby, How Long Must I Dream" as his hit records that preceded and followed "Crying" I liked those too. An early favorite was "Only the Lonely."
