Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and this podcast episode will review the back story behind three #1 songs on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1961: "Runaway", "Mother-in-Law", and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". My podcast partner Bill Price and I married sisters, so we both had the good fortune to have the same wonderful, mother-in-law. Therefore, I am dedicating this podcast in the memory of that fine lady: Helen Lehman.
All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott. The Podcast Theme Song, "You Essay", was written by John. It was initially recorded by Bill and John on April 1, 2004 with several revisions since then.
