Description

Wild Weekend (Todaro-Shannon) by The Rockin’ Rebels

This theme song of Buffalo DJ Tom Shannon had originally been released on the Mar-Lee label back in 1960 by the group The Rebels and was only a regional hit at the time. When reissued by Swan in late ’62 The Rebels were initially credited, but their name was changed to the “Rockin’ Rebels” on later pressings of the single.
