As a solo artist, his hits include the MTV favorites "California Girls" (a Beach Boys cover) and "Just Like Paradise."
1964 "Leader Of The Pack," a song by the girl group Shangri-Las about a dreamy boy who dies in a motorcycle accident, enters the chart at #86. Despite the bleak subject matter, it rises to #1 at the end of November.
