It went something like “Bomp ba ba bomp, ba bomp ba bomp bomp, baba bomp baba bomp, da dang da dang dang, da ding and dong ding.”
Singer Fred Johnson put that electrifying bass intro on The Marcels’ “Blue Moon” and bumped Elvis Presley off the top of the charts. The song, a cover of a 1934 ballad by Rodgers and Hart, was the first No. 1 rock ’n’ roll hit from Pittsburgh and it went on to be a classic, named by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the 500 songs that shaped rock ’n’ roll.
