Bob Feldman, Songwriter Behind “My Boyfriend’s Back,” Other ’60s Hits, Dies at 83
Born June 14, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York, Feldman was once a member of the All-City Choir with Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand. Along with his friend Jerry Goldstein, the two co-wrote a theme song for the Alan Freed TV show, The Big Beat, in 1959 before meeting songwriter Richard Gottehrer in 1962. The three went on to write a number of hits throughout the 1960s and also formed their group The Strangeloves in 1964.
The Strangeloves released their hit, “I Want Candy,” (published by MPL Music) a year later, the title track of their 1965 album. It was the group’s only album release, and the song peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1982, British new wavers Bow Wow Wow covered the song on their The Last of the Mohicans album, which helped the song reemerge on the charts and reach the Top 10 in the UK.

@jimmix Very sad day for the Price Is Right family, and animal lovers all over the world. There hasn’t been a day on set that I didn’t think of Bob Barker and thank him. I will carry his memory in my heart forever. —Drew Carey

Apparently the name came from Nancy.And the article above references that Paul was "working on a new album" at the time he played on Jimmy's record. Somewhere else (I can't find it now, of course) I saw something saying that "My Gummy Just Kicked In" will be released Sept. 8.

@bruce-m Yes, I hope that new album is released soon!

@jimmix I just heard that. Too young.
