The Big Top label operated out of New York City. Del Shannon was their star artist and scored big time with them, pouring out one Top 40 hit after another. Before there was actually Sammy Turner who peaked the Top 10 in '59 with "Lavender Blue" and his follow-up "Always" (a song John Lennon loved). Don and Juan, half coming from the Genies (Who's That Knocking) climbed up to No. 3 nationally in '62 with "What's Your Name." Rounding out big names Johnny and the Hurricanes had exciting instrumentals worth the listen, so come on in our big top and relive this fabulous label.
