Talk:Frank Weir

Latest comment: 7 years ago by TrottieTrue

I've corrected the statement "He released one more single [...] Carribbean Honeymoon". It's far too easy a mistake to make to assume that an artist's only single releases were those which charted. Frank Weir actually had over a dozen singles released between the success of "The Happy Wanderer" and "Carribbean Honeymoon". See [1] - and that doesn't even include his 78rpm-only releases. Certainly in the 1950s, it was common for acts to routinely issue new recordings as singles without them charting. It was only in subsequent decades when it became the norm for pop acts to chart with each single they released. TrottieTrue (talk) 19:10, 17 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
