Truly Judy’s Uncommon Oldie for\u00a0this week is from KLIF 1190 AM in Dallas, TX, on their Forty Star Survey from May 7, 1966.<\/p>\n

My survey group, The Chessmen, were from the Dallas area and had a lot of different personnel over the years.\u00a0 They were formed in early 1964 on the campus of North Texas State University in Denton, Texas, which is about 25 miles from Dallas.<\/p>\n

They began by playing at basketball and football pre game rallies and eventually signed a contract that had them playing between movie screenings.\u00a0 One of the movies was Get Yourself a College Girl.<\/p>\n

When my survey song was recorded, it was with the third line-up of this group.\u00a0 The writer of this song was Knox Henderson who also co-wrote Mouse and the Trap\u2019s Public Execution and Maid Of Sugar, Maid Of Spice as well as You Ain\u2019t Tuff by the Uniques among other songs.<\/p>\n

On the KLIF Forty Star Survey at #40 in May of 1966, here are The Chessmen with You\u2019re Gonna Be Lonely on the B.R.S. label.<\/p>\n
