Not many attempted this but for those who may be interested the version I posted( Original Version) was by Frankie Laine still performing I believe (no pun intended)at the age of 93.

Only Peter identified it correctly, well done one Clough's Classic point.

Here's another opportunity to get a point you will all know the song number one in US in 1962 but really a cover version, the track was originally released in 1960 on a small independent label, who is this track by.

Roy: This link does not work for me. In fact, thus far I have never had a "tinyurl.com" link work.

Tommy Roe on Judd Records I believe Roy. He would have recorded it first with The Satins.

Thanks for taking the time to send another link. An interesting version by Tommy Roe and nice to have in any collection.

A great example of what a class production can do for a song.

Agreed Roy.

Sheila certainly has a Holly innocence in concert with a Berryian solo that was captivating for the day. The timing was right for its release but being a B-Side it probably exceeded expectations.

By the way, how did the A-Side do?

According to Tommy Roe Discography Sheila was the A side on Judd records, Pretty Girl was the B side.

When first released did nothing, Judd was a local label I understand co0wned by Sam Phillips brother.

I actually loved Save Your Kisses the B side of the hit version of Sheila

Tommy Roe did the hit version also correct? I like this version much better, I like those recorded in the bathroom with half a mic sounding tunes. I like all those cheesy early 60's tunes like that, A thousand Stars, Happy happy birthday baby, etc.

I never would have guessed Frankie Lane in a million years.
