Dave Burgess on Tops

Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

Dave Burgess is probably famous for being one of The Champs. But he also recorded under his own name for Okeh (53-54), Tampa (55) , Tops (56-57) and Gene Autry's Challenge (first as Dave Dupree, 57-61).

Tops Records a budget record label based in Los Angeles, California, and owned by Precision Radiation Instruments recorded cover versions of the hits of the day, four of them for the price of two.

Dave recorded about twenty covers for Tops. None seems to have been re-issued anywhere. "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On " was also issued on the Tops album Music for A Mad Ball (Tops L1610), soundtrack of the Columbia Picture - "Operation Mad Ball".

Next Gary Criss fronted The Glass Bottle, an American pop band, whose song about bitterness and heartbreak, "I Ain't Got Time Anymore," was recorded in 1970, and reached #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in September 1971.

The band was co-produced by Dickie Goodman. Goodman had an advertising deal with a PR firm that was trying to save the glass industry from losing soda pop clients to plastic bottles, so Goodman and partner Bill Ramal formed a group, called them "The Glass Bottle," and produced their album. The group produced two hits, "I Ain't Got Time Anymore" and "The Girl Who Loved Me When," before breaking up and drifing into obscurity.
