Line 10: Kasenetz and Katz created the concept of bubblegum music. [[Neil Bogart]] of [[Buddah Records]] asked the duo to come up with a marketing name for their music. Between 1967 and 1969 some of their bubblegum music releases are "Beg, Borrow and Steal," "[[1, 2, 3, Red Light (song)\|1, 2, 3, Red Light]]," "Goody, Goody Gumdrops," "[[Indian Giver (song)\|Indian Giver]]", "Down at Lulu's," "Chewy, Chewy," "Mercy," "[[Simon Says (1910 Fruitgum Company song)\|Simon Says]]," "Special Delivery," "[[Yummy Yummy Yummy]]" and "[[Gimme Gimme Good Lovin']]." In 1966, their first production was with Christine Cooper on "S.O.S. Heart In Distress." The same year Kasenetz and Katz began working with an Ohio band, [[The Music Explosion]] who recorded " [[Little Bit O' Soul]]." Kasenetz got in his car and drove across the country promoting the song to radio stations. In July 1967, the song reached No. 2 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)\|Billboard]]'' [[Billboard Hot 100\|Hot 100]] chart, selling a million copies. This solidified Kasenetz and Katz as music industry players.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book\|title=Stars of David : rock'n'roll's Jewish stories\|last=Benarde\|first=Scott R.\|date=2003\|publisher=Brandeis University Press, published by University Press of New England\|isbn=1584653035\|location=Lebanon, NH\|pages=145–151\|oclc=52271747}}</ref> In 1977, Kasenetz and Katz achieved another top twenty hit "Black Betty" by the group [[Ram Jam]], featuring [[Bill Bartlett (musician)\|Bill Bartlett]] of the [[Lemon Pipers]].
