LIFE SAVERS FOR HALLOWEEN IN 1957
Candy manufacturer Clarence Crane of Garrettsville, Ohio invented the brand in
1912 as a "summer candy" that could withstand heat better than chocolate. The
candy’s name is derived from its similarity to the shape of life preservers used
on boats. Life Savers is currently a property of Mars, Incorporated.
RECORD RELEASED ON THIS DAY IN 1967
This single peaked for three weeks at #4 on the Billboard pop singles chart
in December 1967. It became the Miracles highest charting popular single
since "Shop Around". The song also topped the Billboard Black Singles
Chart and was a million-selling hit for The Miracles, their sixth overall.
