The Space [inbetween] Answering the Stones

Send us a text

This week on #TheSpaceInbetween, #AnsweringTheStones another moment in time from Tom Locke's great new book by the same name

In the late fifties and early sixties, music fans were introduced to answer records, songs that were sometimes a parody or a sequel to established hits.

A few that come to mind are Jeanie Black's, "He'll have to Stay" in 1960. The answer record to Jim Reeves smash hit of 1959, 1960, "He'll Have to Go", Jody Miller's 1965, "Queen of the House" the answer to Roger Miller's 1965 smash hit, King of the Road and Leslie Gore's, 1963, "Judy's Turn to Cry" the follow up record to her hit, "It's My Party."

In most cases, these answer records usually came out a few months after the success of the records, they were emulating. One exception to this rule, however, was an answer record that took eight years before it made it on the charts. Recognized today as a core rock and roll record, it went all the way to number one.
