Avalon's biggest and most well-known hit was quite a departure from his previous Top Ten hits 'Dede Dinah' and 'Ginger Bread.' Both of those songs were up tempo numbers with very juvenile lyrics. 'I'll Wait For You,' a #15 hit in October of '58, was a gentle ballad, but with very teen-oriented lyrics.

In 1970, US folk singer Phil Ochs released Greatest Hits, an album titled with savage irony as his career fell apart. But 50 years on, it remains a powerful indictment of an America losing its way
