{Song #60 « Song #61 » Song #62}
§ ≡ One of an ongoing series of posts in which I pick, in my not-so-humble opinion, the best songs of the second millennium. Feel free to offer constructive dissenting opinions; preferably set to music.
Song #61 is Duke of Earl sung by Gene Chandler. In 1957 Chandler joined a doo-wop group, The Dukays, with James Lowe, Shirley Jones, Earl Edwards and Ben Broyles, soon becoming their lead singer. Vee-Jay Records released the Dukays' recording of "Duke of Earl", but credited the song solely to Chandler. It is the best known of Chandler's songs, and he subsequently dubbed himself 'The Duke of Earl'.
