I first encountered this song via Tish Hinojosa, who recorded a stunning live version on her Aquella Noche album. She sings both the English and Spanish lyrics.

Brenda Pugh....yes you are correct,Val Doonican DID record a version of this song.I remember it as a child..it was the opening track on an L.P of his which belonged to my parents.It came out in around 1965 and was called "13 Lucky Shades of Val Doonican" or something similar....

So strange. can't find it anywhere. The Paul Simon Songbook I have in my computer right now is 27 tracks! No idea when or where I came by it, been building my digital collection for a decade now...

I got the 45 in 1975 or so (at age 5) with a box of old jukebox records my parents got. This is the only one I still have. Mine's in terrible condition... glad to hear it better!

Paul recorded it in 1963 under the pseudonym of Paul Kane. i presume he wrote it shortly before.

Tish Hinojosa sang a spellbinding cover of this on her album Aquella Noche.

This is definitely a missed classic. If Simon and Garfunkel had re-recorded this song I bet it would have been a hit.

Someone can tell me the story behind this song? It's hard to believe but i am mexican and my name is Carlos Domínguez. Kind of freaky, kind of weird but it is! I was like: Oh my god! he is singing to me! Really dudes, Carlos Domínguez is my name, can you believe it?

It's amazing to me when you consider all of the 45's he made under various names that none of those songs became hits. Of course you have to get your music on the radio. I'm collecting all I can find because these are treasures, I am thinking many of these 45's were made after "Hey Schoolgirl."

@PaulSimonIsCUTE Yes I agree . there are some great songs he recorded in his early 20's out there!

@JettRink50 glad you like it. I Believe Irish Singer Val Doonican recorded this in The UK. Maybe this is the version Tony has heard.

Beautiful Paul, amazing, Tony knows this song??? How could he? He said he heard it a lot, did someone make it a hit or something> I always say he knows more than I do.
