In honor of Billy Joe Royal, who passed away Tuesday, I’d
like to highlight one of his underrated songs from 1967. While most people are
probably familiar with this classic, it only reached #52 on the Billboard
chart.
Deep Purple made "Hush" a household song in 1968, landing at an impressive #4 on the charts.
Billy Joe Royal stormed onto the pop scene in 1965 with his smash hit, “Down In The Boondocks”, which went to #9. He never topped this hit, but came close with singles like “I Knew You When” and “Cherry Hill Park”. He transitioned to country in the 80s and found additional success, scoring 15 hits on the country charts.
