Becky:

he style includes a wide variety of mostly American and British recordings of pop-soul music made between the late 1950s and mid 1960s, often relatively obscure, and characterized by a slow or medium, rather than fast, tempo. Examples of highly prized popcorn records include "Sweetheart" by Peggy Lee, "Image" by Hank Levine,[1] "Now I Lay Me Down to Weep" by Simone Dina, "The Tingle" by Jackie Weaver, "Who's Got the Action" by Phil Colbert,[3] "Heartless Lover" by Dick Baker, "La Tanya" by Jay Abbott, "Carmelita" by Jeff Lane,[2] "I'm Crying in the Rain" by Major Lance, "You Beat Me to the Punch" by Mary Wells,[4] "Comin' Home Baby" by Mel Tormé, and "Twine Time" by Alvin Cash.[5]
