Great song, Brisbanes 4KQ Saturday night jukebox plays this regularly. Whatever happened to Tony? Is it available on a CD at all?

@appollo1947 Tony Passalaqua was the lead vocalist for a doo-wop band called The Fascinators. You can look him up on Wikipaedia.

Thanks for posting - been searching for this song for months! Had plenty of airplay here in Adelaide around 1965/66. There were few music videos in those days so I remember it always being mimed on a TV pop show - Kommotion?

[OldiesAppreciater]

@krewlink2 Yes. Kommotion was where I remember the song from originally.

I can't believe I remember the lyrics...I was born in 1960! Thanks mum for always having the transistor playing!

@appollo1947 Search Tony Pass on Timewarp Records and it is available on a CD Hazy Memories Vol 1.

I have it on a Timewarp Cd Hard to Get Hits Volume 1 and the quality is superb.

Tony is still singing with The Legends Of Doo Wop, as great as ever. Spring Fever is on the Oh Rose Marie CD with 29 other fabulous tracks of Fascinators/Tony Mithchell/Tony Richards/Tony Passalaqua material (all Tony Passalaqua.) I hear the CD is a bootleg. I don't think Tony gets any money from it.
