| Eight Hundred ThirtyFourth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Johnny Tillotson |
 |
Johnny Tillotson enjoyed his greatest success in the early 1960s, when he scored nine top-ten hits on the pop, country and adult contemporary Billboard charts including "Poetry In Motion".
The song was written by Paul Kaufman and Mike Anthony, who said that the inspiration for it came from looking up from their work and seeing a procession of young ladies from a nearby school pass by on the sidewalk outside each afternoon.
"Poetry in Motion" was also recorded by Bobby Vee in 1961.
