"Goin' Places" by The Orlons

The Orlons were a Philly R&B outfit whose members formed the group while still in high school. They scored three classic hits in a row starting in 1962 with "The Wah Watusi" (#2), "Don't Hang Up" (#4), and "South Street" (#3).

After a couple more top 40 hits the next year, "Not Me" (#12) and "Cross Fire!" (#19), the group began to fade away into obscurity. Changing musical times were eclipsing the malt shop style music popular in the 50s. The group's final chart appearance was in 1964 when the fun tune, "Knock! Knock! (Who's There?)" stalled at #64.

"Goin' Places" is an underrated tune they performed that was just out of time. Back in the 50s, it could have been a chart success. It was the B-side to "Knock! Knock!"
