by Bill DahlAn important cog in Los Angeles doo wop community during the 50s, Bobby Day wrote three often-covered early rock classics in 1957-1958. Day was part of the Hollywood Flames, one of the areas top R&B vocal groups, and briefly part of Bob & Earl, later to hit without Day on Harlem Shuffle. Day formed his own group, the Satellites, in 1957, cutting the original Little Bitty Pretty One for Class Records. A nearly identical cover by Thurston Harris beat the original out, so Day countered with the driving Rockin Robin in 1958, an R&B chart-topper. Its flip, Over and Over, was a hit in its own right, although the Dave Clark Fives 1965 revival is better remembered today. Day waxed a few more hits for Class in 1959, including Thats All I Want and a derivative The Bluebird, the Buzzard & the Oriole, flitting from label to label during the 60s.
