Ned Miller never made another visit onto the US #Billboard #Top40… but he did cross over onto BIllboard’s Hot 100 in December of 1964 with "Do What You Do Do Well.” The single topped out at #53 in Febuary 1965. #NedMiller #OneHitWondered

One of the strange things I came across was cult leader/convicted murderer Charles Manson’s 1968 cover of Ned Miller’s “Invisible Tears,” written by Ned and his wife, Sue Miller. #NedMiller #SueMiller #CharlesManson #OneHitWondered
Ned Miller also wrote and recorded “From a Jack to a King” in 1957, released through Fabor (regional) & Dot (national distribution)... and went nowhere on the charts. Legend says that Miller persuaded the record company to re-release the single in 1962… #NedMiller #OneHitWondered
The Utah-born Ned Miller served as a US Marine Corps in WWII, then moved to California to chase songwriting work… linked up with Fabor Records. His pen hit early: “Dark Moon” blew up in 1957, covered most notably by singer/actress Gale Storm. #NedMiller #GaleStorm #OneHitWondered

#NedMiller had in 1963 een nummer één hit in Canada met 'From a Jack to a King'. Miller had nog andere hits in zijn loopbaan maar deze zou zijn grootste succes blijven. De song werd ook nog ettelijke keren gecoverd.
