    Just as L'il Wally was the male bane of many collectors who spent hours searching thru the stock of many of those old American record warehouses
    so Marjorie (or "Margie") Meinhert--pianist and organist---was the
    female equivalent (tho their actual music wasn't the least bit similar)

    The lady recorded many titles for both Fraternity and RCA and drove us
    crazy on several occasions having to wade thru her dross in bulk

    That's funny!

    I never even heard of her before today. And believe me, I have lots of
    shitty 50s pop here in my sales stock.

    When I look through the vinyl in a thrift store, I always find at least
    one copy of Herb Alpert's WHIPPED CREAM AND OTHER DELIGHTS, not to
    mention tons of LPs by Perry Como (usually Christmas titles), Andy
    Williams, Enoch Light, and Jerry Murad's Harmonicats. Those damned
    things must have sold in the millions!

    I know the feeling well but to be fair to both Como and Williams both
    had several singles over the years that I liked well enough to include
    in my yearly fave records lists

    In my garage sale days in the mid to late 70s the albums I most often
    saw was "The First Family" by Vaughn Meader. It was number one for 12
    weeks from DEC 62 through FEB 63. It was also sold in supermarkets and
    other non record stores for like $1.99 which helped it sell a ton of
    copies.

    Second would probably be this one below:

    I probably didn't see as many Herb Alperts then because they were only
    like 10 years old and people were still listening to them.
