I am inclined to agree with you Brian. It is a struggle for this singer unless it is, perhaps, a recent vintage tour effort by PJ. Originally P J's version was 1966 I believe.

I join in on PJ, cause if it turns out to be Del Shannon, i'd just faint... kiddin' of course.
Cannot wait to see if it's right!

Sorry it is not P J Proby or Del Shannon or Tommy Bruce. It is however the latest version made in 2004.
I am assuming you all know which version went to number one.

Wayne?! No of course...
Um... Tom Waits?
Don't know which went to #1 - probably the Stones themselves?

No not Wayne but there is a similarity in terms of events that happened to them in the sixties.

I'll disregard Richard Chamberlain as I did state UK act plus he was a one hit wonder in record terms. However your guess of Brain Poole is correct Sheena

(jumpin' on a chair) Yess! Yess! YESS! (in fact when i said "Billy J. Kramer" i actually meant Brian Poole but somehow my fingers typed the wrong name
.
But in fact i don't remember any recent talks about him here...
Best regards!

"In the few compilations that I have heard, Brian Poole comes out sounding quite good. As far as the groups go, Marmalade has also had some respectable recordings."
Peter posted this on your compilation topic, he may wish to revise his opinion.
The following is BP's first solo single released in 66, he released about 5 solo singles but none did anything unlike his ex buddies The Tremeloes who went on to have a number of hits including a number 1. However I though this wasn't a bad single and demonstrates perhaps how the years change a voice in this instance.

Sheena,
Good going. I would never have guessed that one.

I would have never done it too, Brian, if Roy hadn't mentioned the similarities between his & Wayne Fontana's stories...
actually, without this info it seemed impossible...
Roy, you have a very good memory... i couldn't remember this detail...
