During the early 1960s, traditional pop was anything but traditional. The success of rock and roll love ballads, for one, had given pop singers and orchestras a new medium to replace the influence 40's and early 50's swing had had on pop during the 1950s. Newer pop jazz forms and newer swing forms had also been created in the late 50's to give pop music a more upbeat and modern feel. Among the giants of the new medium were Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, Steve Lawrence & Edie Gormé, Shirley Bassey, Barbra Streisand, Nancy Wilson, and Bobby Darin. Singer Jack Jones, who shot to fame in 1962 with his version of Lollipops And Roses, released this song, Wives And Lovers, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, in October 1963. It debuted on Billboard November 2, 1963 and peaked at #14 on January 11, 1964. On Cash Box it debuted on November 9, 1963, peaking at #12 on December 28, 1963 and holding the position for two weeks. Jack Jones received the 1964 Grammy Award for Best Male Vocal Performance for Wives And Lovers later the following year. This, like so many other retro videos I have done, is a portrait of what was ... and will likely never be again.
