When listening to Bob and Gene -I really really love you and Frankie Crocker-Ton of Dynamite.I think there are very close similarities in the backing.Due to the fact that both Bob and Gene and Frankie Crocker were from Buffalo N.Y. Could it be that Frankie Crocker got the idea from I really love you,for Ton of Dynamite. Any ideas on this one. Chris. 

Yes very similar could be right.

More likely both had heard "Tighten up" ?

So it is,absolutely nailed on.Thanks for that. Chris. 

That backing can be heard on dozens of records, probably not all the way through, but lots have it in there somewhere
