Anyone Recall Either Of These Records? The Internet Doesn't

[Damaged Goods]

1.) According to the Web, the Simms twins (also Sims), Kenny and Bobby, were part of a family gospel group until discovered by Sam Cooke in 1961. Their discography begins that same year.

Wrong. They released a record called Lola which was played locally in early ‘59. (Not to be confused with the Kinks 1970 song which is altogether different.) My BFF at the time had the 45. Anyone recall? Sure love to hear that one again.

2.) Jack Judge – not to be confused with the legendary British songwriter who wrote It’s A Long Way To Tipperary – released Wholeheartedly in ‘61. No mention of this song or this particular Jack Judge on the Internet. Anyone help me?

You know some of those older artists got their music taken from them and given to other artists. It's possible this could have happened with these two.

I looked too and couldn't find either one.

The only song I remember with the name Lola was by Barry Manilow. My brother played it all the time because his wife's name was Lola.

The Kinks had a smash hit with their "Lola" in '70.
