    RIP Benny. Benny passed away a few weeks ago after a long bout with Parkinson's disease. I lived across from Benny's mom when the lived in Syracuse in the late 80's. His mom was a nice lady. I only ran in to Benny once, and he was real pleasant and down to earth. He had a few other minor hits. Sheila C was one of my favorites.

    There is no doubt that Benny had one of the most amazing voices ever! The song was written about a young teenage girl that lived in Benny's building. She lived with just her father, and one day she came in to say hello to Benny. He was with a friend who commented on how attractive she was. Benny immediately said to him "She's just sixteen years old, leave her alone!" to his friend. The two had a strictly platonic relationship. Benny looked out for her. But the song got some rather rude reviews because some people thought that Benny was talking about having a romantic relationship with a sixteen year old girl. Definitely not true!
    Sadly, Benny passed away from Parkinson's Disease on June 29th, 2020. He was 73 years old. Mardones was a great songwriter as well as a singer & performer. In addition to writing his own songs, Benny also wrote songs for many famous artists, including Brenda Lee & Three Dog Night.
    RIP Benny...

      I just watched the interview in which Benny shared the story of how this song came to be written, which eased my mind about the lyrics. The problem was probably exacerbated by the fact that the official video portrayed an adult man's love for an underage girl. Ugh! Most unfortunate. I feel bad that this fantastic song and phenomenal singer got saddled forever with such a cheesy and misleading video. BTW, did you ever see the video of Benny performing Running Scared at a tribute concert for Roy Orbison? It's amazing!

      Actually, in the interview Benny gave, the father abandoned the family and the girl was alone with her mother and siblings with no means of support. Benny looked out for them. And yes, one day he was with some of his music group working on a song and the girl came over, and Benny helped her with something. She left, and one of the guys remarked about her and that's when Benny said, leave her alone, she's just 16 years old, and the song was born. This was one of those great songs from my youth. R.I.P. Benny, much thanks.

    This man's voice was truly amazing! He is in a league of the elite singers IMHO
    I watched a video interveiw with Benny about this song. Amazing story behind it.
    Mardones has explained many times over the years that the song is not statutory or even sexual. While living in New York’s Spanish Harlem in 1979, he was inspired by three teen neighbors whose father had scored a Broadway hit and ran off with a chorus line girl. He offered to help them and their mother with the rent, paying the kids to run errands and clean his apartment; he gave the 16-year-old, a girl named Heidi, $50 a week to walk his dog named Zanky.
    “So one night Robert Tepper and I were up writing songs... And in she walks, 16 years old, dressed for school in a miniskirt, little stacked heels, adorable, 16-going-on-21. She said, ‘You’ve been up all night?’ and of course it was obvious. I said, ‘Yeah, we have.’ She says, ‘Okay, come on, Zanky,’ and she walks the dog out. When she leaves and goes out the door, my partner goes, ‘Oh, my God.’ I said, ‘Hey, Bob. She’s just 16 years old, leave her alone.’ And literally five minutes later I said, ‘Play that lick again, Bobby.’ So he played the lick and I went (singing), ‘she’s just 16 years old, leave her alone, they say.’ Then I thought about her dad and what he had done, and that’s where I got ‘Separated by fools who don’t know what love is yet.’ The chorus was, ‘you’re too young for me, but if I could fly, I’d pick you up and take you into the night and show you love like you’ve never seen.’ Then the verse ‘It’s like having it all and letting it show. It’s like having a dream where nobody has a heart. It’s like having it all and watching it fall apart.’ Because his success was not the family’s success; it was just his. ‘I can’t measure my love there’s nothing compared to it’ - it was all about the abandonment of this family and this 16-year-old girl.”
    They remained friends for years, sending Christmas cards long after she married and moved to Puerto Rico.

    4,500,000 times!
    And Benny waa referred to as "The Voice" since this hit came out. What a TALENT!!
    I keep getting the CHILLS when I listen to it. And I first heard it in 1989 during its comeback.

    I remember this song from 1980, I was 19 and it just gave me that certain feeling deep down that was like a spark igniting a flame. I had forgotten all about it over the years, but when I heard it again today, it was like a rekindling of my memories and emotions from that time. Good songs like this live on forever......

    “Tainted love” by Soft Cell- PLEASE make it the long version (which is not too long) there is a short version that cuts out SO MUCH goodness! Good DJ’s would do the full version back in the day- then some would stop right when it get better- has ALWAYS driven me nuts! Great song when played in full! ❤️💛☮️💟✌️

    This guy's voice reminded me of Steve Perry and a little like Rod Stewart. I'm sure I liked this song when I was younger, but somehow seeing the video all these years later was creepy to me. He looked a lot older than the girl, and maybe it was her unemotional look, too.

      I know...it's a shame that the song and singing are both so good, because if ONLY that line about "She's just 16 years old" wasn't in there, _all the problem would be gone_ . Just don't say her age and let people assume she's also a full grown woman, and there you go.

      @@robinchesterfield42 i hear you. In nearly all cases i completely agree and parents know its not optimal for a girl so young to be involved with someone.
      I was 16 about that time and married a 22 yr. old. His proposal was "so do you want to live together, get married or what?" Lolol i still laugh. He wasn't great with words or ceremonies. Lol. He asked me before I was pregnant. My mother tried to reason with me saying i didnt have to get married, she would help me with the coming baby and he could see it. He had trade knowledge but no real prospects. It must have terrified her. But i was willing to travel south with him to be legally married so she signed and we had a nice wedding. I knew I loved and wanted to make a life with him more him more than anything. He knew it was the same for him. We were married for 36 yrs. until he died 3 yrs. ago. We had 2 children and 3 grandchildren together. He worked and fixed things. i managed the rest. We progressed in our lives. Nothing stopped for me. I had more education. Got a drivers license, job training and later worked with two major companies in good status positions. He got promoted in his job several times.
      It truly does depend on the character, Values and determination of the people involved. Unfortunately, these qualities aren't clearly visible to others at times.

    You said that you needed some one hit wonder songs from the 60s. Here is a big list for you to work from:
    Wipe Out - The Surfaris (1963)
    Green Tambourine - The Lemon Pipers (1966)
    Wild Thing - The Troggs (1966)
    Dominique - The Singing Nun (1963)
    Harper Valley PTA - Jeannie C. Riley (1968)
    Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye - Steam (1969)
    Love Is Blue - Paul Mauriat (1968)
    Sukiyaki - Kyu Sakamoto (1963)
    The Girl From Ipanema - Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz (1964)
    Judy In Disguise - John Fred and His Playboy Band (1968)
    Telstar - The Tornados (1962)
    Ringo - Lorne Green (1964)
    Venus - The Shocking Blue (1968)
    Time Has Come Today - The Chambers Brothers (1967)
    Winchester Cathedral - The New Vaudeville Band (1966)
    Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum (1969)
    They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haa! - Napoleon XIV (1966)

    Pipeline - The Chantays (1962)
    Ode To Billie Joe - Bobby Gentry (1967)
    Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport - Rolf Harris (1962)
    In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly (1968)
    I Will Follow Him - Peggy March (1963)
    Rhythm Of The Rain - The Cascades (1963)
    500 Miles (Away From Home) - Bobby Bare (1963)
    I believe virtually all of these qualify as “one hit wonders” but there might be a few that stray from that classification. If a few of those sneaked in....sorry about that!
    Regarding your question a few videos ago about whether you should use the studio version or a live version. My vote would be as follows: studio version.
    Reason being: if you want to experience any given song as close to the way all of us experienced it for the first time, then the studio version is what we all heard first. Remember, back in the 60s everyone first heard music on the radio, and then we would go out to buy LP record albums or 45 rpm records. In either case, it was always the studio version. At some point afterwards we might then see a given band perform live on TV on a show like American Bandstand or the Ed Sullivan Show (a variety show that aired on Sunday nights).
    Anyway, that’s all I’ve got to say this time around. Hope this list is of use to you.

      Regarding your list, Runaround Sue was by Dion, who had multiple hits. Del Shannon sang Runaway, which was his only #1, but he placed others in the top five.
      And Bobby Bare's #1 hit was Marie Laveau in 1974. 500 Miles from Home only peaked at #10

    I totally forgot about one other one hit wonder that is considered by many to be a generational anthem for the 60s:
    San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair) - Scott McKenzie (1967)
    That one sort of encapsulated the idea of peace and love espoused during the 1960s.
    BTW...I’ve also seen his last name spelled slightly different like this: MacKenzie.
