by The Essex (1963)
I was surprised to find the catchy number one hit, Easier Said Than Done did not come from one of the big known groups but a group of (totally adorable) Marines named The Essex.
While the band had little faith in the b-side, it quickly became their biggest and only real hit.It’s still makes for pretty great listening.
Plus, it played at my last restaurant meal in Brooklyn, so it has become a bit of a sentimental favorite.
But what do you think?
