This day in music history.

November 1, 1962, 'He's a Rebel' by the Crystals goes to number one. The Crystals were not allowed to sing on their own record because the record company wanted more experienced singers. They got a trio of singers called the Blossoms to sing the song however two of the Blossoms couldn't make it so they used one of the Chordettes and a Sherille.
He's A Rebel by The Crystals
See the way he walks down the street Watch the way he shuffles his feet
My, he holds his head up high When he goes walking by He's my guy
When he holds my hand I'm so proud 'Cause he's not just one of the crowd
My baby, oh he's the one To try the things they've never done
Just because of that they say
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be understood
And just because he doesn't do what everybody else does
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love He is always good to me,
always treats me tenderly 'Cause he's not a rebel,
no no no He's not a rebel, no no no, to me
If they don't like him that way, They won't like me after today
I'll be standing right by his side, when they say
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel 'cause he never ever does what he should
And just because he doesn't do what everybody else does
That's no reason why we can't share a love He is always good to me,
good to him I'll try to be
'Cause he's not a rebel, no no no He's not a rebel,
no no no, to me
