| Facts: |
| Listener response was so positive that Jim Maderitz (who had first discovered and recorded The Edsels in 1958) made a deal w/ Twin Records to re-release the song. It was only then that it became a national hit. It is an all-time rock & roll/doo-wop classic (the tune's b-side, "Bells" is a GREAT song as well)! (sav-man) |
| In 1961, a disc jockey from New York began playing this song again (he was fascinated by the song's similarity in sound to The Marcel's very popular doo-wop remake of "Blue Moon"). (sav-man) |
