===The real Wonders=== There were at least two real groups named the Wonders who made the record charts at various radio stations in the early 1960s. One was a soul group who had a record called "Please Don't Cry" (b/w "[[With These Hands (song)|With These Hands]]"; Bamboo 523) that was cited in the September 1, 1962, issue of ''Billboard'' as having "moderate sales potential", but it was not successful.<ref>''Billboard'', 1 Sep 1962, p. 24</ref> (The flip, however, was played by [[KGYM|KCRG]] in [[Cedar Rapids, Iowa]], in the fall of 1962.)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://las-solanas.com/arsa/surveys_item.php?svid=3789 |title=KCRG 1600 Cedar Rapids Survey 09/22/62 |first=Tim |last=Warden |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203020543/http://las-solanas.com/arsa/surveys_item.php?svid=3789 |archive-date=February 3, 2014}}</ref> The other Wonders had a regional hit record called "Say There" (b/w "Marilyn"; [[Colpix]] 699), released in August 1963.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.45cat.com/record/cp699|title=45cat - The Wonders [Colpix] - Say There / Marilyn - Colpix - USA - CP 699|work=45cat}}</ref> A mixed race [[doo wop]] group from New York City, they also recorded as the {{sic|Satans Four}}.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/4243601-The-Wonders-7 | title=The Wonders (7) | website=[[Discogs]] }}</ref> "Say There" hit the Top 20 at [[WYTS|WCOL]] in [[Columbus, Ohio]], and made the top 30 at [[KQV]] in [[Pittsburgh]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://las-solanas.com/arsa/charts_item.php?srt0=t40_tw<tl=28&hsid=14677&srt1=chartweek|title=The Wonders β Say There|first=Tim |last=Warden|access-date=January 22, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203020540/http://las-solanas.com/arsa/charts_item.php?srt0=t40_tw<tl=28&hsid=14677&srt1=chartweek|archive-date=February 3, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> In addition, the tune made the radio publication ''The Gavin Report'' as a regional hit in their August 16, 1963, issue.
