THE '62 SINGLE-ONLY SLEEPER

Here's a few random instrumentals, starting with Doug and the Galaxies' "Sundown", which then reminded me of "Boss" by the Rumblers. I couldn't find it, the Rumblers, other than a YouTube thing, so you get Billy Vaughn's version. Meandering along, I ran across quite a few other instrumentals scattered around Beware of the Blog including "Jungle Fever", one of the more obscure early Dick Dale and the Del-Tones instrumentals. Given that it wasn't an album cut, and as a single had to compete with "Miserlou" released the same year (1962), there's a reason it isn't better known.
