SirBasildeBrush:Thank you ever so much for sharing this song with us. I have the 45rpm record, but do not have what is needed to put it on YouTube and your copy seems cleaner than mine.It holds a lot of sentimental value to me.It is the first and only rendition I have ever known since I first heard it on the radio in 1962.Only recently did I discover Jan and Dean's rendition. I have to say it is, most certainly, very appealing to my ears in its own unique way. But holds no sentimental value to me. That is probably the only reason I prefer Cathy's rendition, which greatly appealed to my 11-year-old ears at the time I first heard it. I remember where I was living when I first heard it and it brings me back to that place and all the memories associated with that place.SinginJohnny:This song seems to hold just as much sentimental value to you as it does to me. I have to tell you that I couldn't have described it any better than you have.

I'd like to get your mom's autograph on a Toronto record survey from 1962. Would you have e-mail contact? Thanx. Richard

@doowopman49 a pleasure. A favourite of mine.

Not bad for a mother with talent!

Well, hello Cathy Carroll! Gosh, I love this song! Reminds me a little of "Cathy's Clown" by The Everly Brothers. I played this 45 over and over. Cathy's vocal and harmony dub is fantastic, the toy piano and overall production. To Cathy's son: Hello! How are you ? Please say hi to your mom! The song is also available on a collection put out by the Eric label called "Teen Time: The Young Years of Rock and Roll/ Volume 1 :Love Me Forever.

@fuhserious......I heard this song for the first time on an "obscure oldies" show on a station out of Kentucky. It's arguably my favorite oldie from that show! Tell her "great song" for me!

@fuhserious It must be intriguing, to say the least, to hear your mother on Youtube. My mother sang but it was back in the early '40s and she was never recorded. My compliments to her! I used to hear this song on my 6-transistor radio as a kid. I love her voice and the most imaginative musical arrangement on this recording.

SirBasildeBrush

Well I never!! Hello to your mom, great song.

Pretty bizarro, finding this on here. She is my mother! Seriously.

@SirBasildeBrush I hear ya! It's not exactly a well-known instrument.

SirBasildeBrush

Thanks. I had to Google an 'ocarina' to find out what it is!

I listened to both of Jan & Dean versions but still can't recall them. I grew up in NYC and perhaps their version of this song wasn't released there. But Cathy Carroll's version barely made the charts and is firmly in my memory. I'm always fascinated by early "low tech" production techniques. And the use of such simple items as a toy piano with echo and delay produced a most distinctive and memorable sound considering what was available back then. There's an ocarina in there also. Love it.

...and thanks for the interesting comment. There are two versions by Jan & Dean on YouTube.

I don't recall ever hearing Jan & Dean's rendition of this but this recording goes right back to '62 for me. I don't recall hearing it since maybe 1970. It's one of those obscure records that just don't get airplay. I love the arrangement of this recording as well with the toy piano beautifully integrated in the mix and then echoed in a very spacey fashion in the middle instrumental break. It's a great and very memorable recording and I thank you so much for uploading it!

SirBasildeBrush

Agreed! I've just added Jan & Dean's version under "Video Responses".
