superstar (delaney and bonnie song)
"the birds and the bees" is said to have been written by the twelve-year-old son of era records owner herb newman; the songwriting credit on the jewel akens recording of "the birds and the bees" reads barry stuart, which is the song's standard songwriting credit although some subsequent recordings (i.e. by artists other than akens) identify the composer as herb newman himself (newman had written "the wayward wind" a 1956 #1 hit for gogi grant). jewel akens had recorded one single for era as frontman for the doo-wop group the turn-arounds in 1964 when newman pitched "the birds and the bees" as the group's next recording; as akens was the only group member to favor the song he recorded it solo, working through four or five different arrangements and thus considerably honing the song's original format.
