The Trembles?

Nah, that doesn’t sound right.

The Tomatoes?

Have you ever heard of a group named after a fruit?

Bingo. The other song was Here Comes My Baby. Who sang Silence is Golden and Here Comes My Baby? Let’s ask Sharon.

Maybe that’s not a good idea. Her law firm sued the school district for not spending enough money on girls’ sports.

Sharon, hi, Bob and Paul. We were on the Spaghetti dinner committee together. We can’t remember who sang Here Comes My Baby?

The Tremeloes, Boys!
