[msjansef]

Yep remember this song, was it a no 1 ?

[MrRjmaher]

The Drifters done this in 1962,Cryin' Shames altered it and done it in 1966,it went to number1 locally beating the Beatles to top spot.

[SCOTTISHFILMFAN]

my fav version of this song is by the Drifters , but this version is kinda growing on me too :)

[eurocharter]

On 3 February 1967, using a shotgun owned by musician Heinz Burt (formerly of The Tornados), Meek murdered his landlady before turning the gun on himself. Aged only 37, he died eight years to the day after his hero, Buddy Holly.

I myself have just found out that Even Zoot Money's version was a cover and that the original was by The Drifters in 1961.

The Cryin' Shames version was the last hit for Joe Meek before he committed suicide.

The follow-up single - Nobody Waved Goodbye - flopped failing to reach Top 50.

After a line-up change they recorded as Paul & Ritchie & The Cryin' Shames whose only single was September In The Rainwhich also flopped and recorded at Joe Meek's last session.

[eurocharter]

Does anyone realise this is actually a cover of a Zoot Money single from 1965

[ladyfuzz1966]

@eurocharter oh wow i never knew that, thanks for the info. i just checked it out and its pretty good :)

Do you realise that this was a original by The Drifters in 1961. Zoot only changed the lyrics.

@eurocharter They're all covers. It's a Burt Bacharach song.
