This was taylor made for Bobby Vee by the great Carol King. What brill memories. I really believe this is the best version. However I have not heared Helen Shapiro`s version yet, and as she is my favourite female singer of all time I am looking forward to hearing now.
Goffin & King actually wrote this for Bobby Vee. It was supposed to be his follow-up to "Sharing You." The problem was that "Sharing You" was staying on the charts a lot longer than expected. Since this is a seasonal tune, it had to be released in the early days of summer, so Carole King just polished up her original demo, added a string section, and rush-released it, thus relegating Bobby Vee's version to album cut status.
@IDLERACER Also... Carole King's version only now exists on record, so all recordings of her great song, which is actually the demo, are not from the original tapes.

Bobby Vee Doing an Other Great Carole King Song.
This is so fantastic.
Thank you You Tube for keeping 60's music alive. It is so sad that Main Stream FM does not play this type music anymore.
