Singles

Seven of the twelve songs on this album hit the charts as follows:

  • "Little Devil" (US #11, UK #9)
  • "Oh! Carol" (US #9, UK #3)
  • "You Mean Everything to Me" (US #17, UK #45)
  • "Run Samson Run" (US #48)
  • "Stairway to Heaven" (US #9, UK #8)
  • "Calendar Girl" (#4, UK #8)
  • "The Diary" (US #14) (already found on the Rock with Sedaka album)

All of these songs were released on 45 rpm singles. It should be noted that "You Mean Everything To Me" and "Run Samson Run" were released together on a 45 rpm record; with both songs charting, the record gave Sedaka a rare double A-side.

The other five songs had also seen 45 rpm single releases as follows:

  • "The Girl For Me" was a non-charting A-side from 1959.
  • "I Must Be Dreaming" was the B-side of "Little Devil" in 1961.
  • "Going Home To Mary Lou" was a non-charting single from 1959.
  • "What Am I Gonna Do" was the B-side of "Going Home To Mary Lou" in 1959.
  • "One-Way Ticket To The Blues" was the B-side of "Oh, Carol!" in 1959.
