Gary Lewis was about as close to being an "overnight success" in the recording field as anyone can get. And - just because it happens so seldom - it is always a special thrill when show business lighting strikes twice in the same family. The comedy antics of Jerry Lewis skyrocketed him to fame when he was just barely out of his teens. No. 1 son Gary had achieved comparable success in the music field...also at a young and carefree age. It was summer of 1964 when Gary Lewis and The Playboys were discovered by producer Snuff Garrett. Before long, with the producer/arranger team of Garrett and Leon Russell behind them, they took their first single, This Diamond Ring, straight to number one. After their second hit titled County Me In when to number two, Gary and the band proved that they would be a continued success. They followed with more Top 10 songs such as Save Your Heart For Me, Everybody Love A Clown, She's Just My Style, Sure Gonna Miss Her, and many more.
