I had never heard this...Always loved the Fleetwoods' classic, and this is a nice cover in a late 60's style. Both Lesley and Oliver shine. Thanks for posting this. I guess releasing it under different aliases was just 60's weird.
As the names of Oliver and another of his artists, Lesley Gore, were losing their chart cachet, producer Bob Crewe used their middle names to create a "new" duo: "Billy and Sue." It didn't work however and they never really charted again.
Nice remake!

What an amazing discovery! I love both artists, and were there any more duets done by them together? Fantastic!
