AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS VERY RARE FOLLOW-UP RELEASE TO THE CLASSIC NUMBER ONE HIT BY THE KALIN TWINS "WHEN" ON A UK BRUNSWICK 78
"FORGET ME NOT"
The Kalin Twins remain the archetypal one-hit wonders. Their only Top 10 chart hit - "When" - may have cruelly prophesied the question of further success. Originally discovered by Clint Ballard, Jr., the writer of many hit records such as "Good Timin'" for Jimmy Jones, and "I'm Alive" for The Hollies, the sibling duo had a couple of early recording flops. However, in 1958, after searching through piles of writers' demo tapes, their management discovered the song called "When", written by Paul Evans and Jack Reardon. It topped the UK Singles Chart, got to Number 5 in their U.S. homeland, and sold over two million copies in the process. The track remained in the UK listings for eighteen weeks, five of which were at Number One.
Harold (Hal) and Herbert (Herbie) were the first set of twins to reach number one in the UK as a duo, followed years later by The Proclaimers. They were supported by Cliff Richard on their only UK tour. Their second single, "Forget Me Not," reached Number 12 in the US Billboard chart later in 1958 but despite their number 1 hit in the UK failed to even bother the charts here..
Forget Me Not
The Kalin Twins- Forget Me Not (Doo wop)
Forget the fellows that you knew before
You ain't a gonna see them anymore
Forget the trip that you were gonna take
Forget it all, but for goodness sake
Forget me not
Forget me not
You're all I got
Forget me not Forget the dating ev'ry Friday night
I ain't a gonna let you out of sight
I'm going out and buy a wedding ring
So you can start forgetting ev'ry thing
Forget me not
Forget me not
You're all I got
Forget me not
Forget all the fellows that you knew before
Cause you ain't a gonna see them anymore
Forget the talking on the telephone
Tell your ma to tell them you're not home
Forget me not
Forget me not
You're all I got
Forget me not
Forget the way you roll them big blue eyes
At all those big and handsome foot-ball guys
Forget the meeting all the gang at three
From now on you're walking home with me
Forget me not
Forget me not
You're all I got
Forget me not
