Johnny Tillotson – Poetry in Motion
[Ғull Ѕtοry Іn Cᴑmments]👇

"Poetry in Motion" is an upbeat pop song performed by Johnny Tillotson, released in 1960. The song became one of Tillotson’s biggest hits, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and gaining widespread popularity for its catchy melody and energetic rhythm.

Written by Mike Anthony and Paul Kaufman, the song uses the metaphor of “poetry in motion” to describe the graceful and captivating movements of a girl, expressing admiration and fascination with her beauty and charm.

With its lively beat and Tillotson’s smooth vocal delivery, "Poetry in Motion" captures the youthful spirit of early 1960s pop music. It remains a classic example of the era’s feel-good tunes and is often remembered as one of Johnny Tillotson’s signature songs.

For Dad 🩵

Celebrate the life of Frank Pirillo, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Aycock Funeral Home - Young & Prill Chapel.

29/04/2025

I’m so heartbroken to even have to post this update. Today my father passed away peacefully in his home. We haven’t been releasing new shows over the past several weeks, as Dad was battling through his treatments and wasn’t able to record. We had been planning to do our Top 100 Countdown, which was very important to him, so I will somehow find a way to compile all the votes and record that special show as a tribute to him.

Pops and I have been doing DooW*p Drive for nearly 15 years. This show meant the world to him (and myself). The fact that so many of you would tune in each week gave him life and made him so proud. We’d spend hours each week just talking about music and sharing memories, and I’m so grateful to have had every moment. It was the highlight of every single week for me. Im not sure how I’ll ever fill this void - but I have so much love in my heart for all of you who have shared in this musical journey with us. I’ll do my best to carry this show forward in some way…

After some time to process this new reality, I will be back with more updates and information. Please keep my father in your thoughts and prayers. He was 1 of 1, my best friend - and I’m gonna miss him so so much.

Gregg
