Sorry to keep you in suspense, but I'm waiting for the answer on my local
radio station. Let you know before 1am if poss!

You don't have to wait, it's Del Shannon, all other cover versions came after the Beatles charted in Jan 64. Del charted in June 63. It's a standard Pop Quiz question, I asked it at the UK Pop Quiz championships in 1995.

I was on the winning team where we raised a substantial sum for the charirty:-
Make a wish foundation. Regards Cupid04.

My pleasure Cupid, always glad to help. Well done for your charity fund raising too, perhaps you can come to one of my weekly events, I do a regular music quiz in Leeds and my popular mixed quiz nights are always well attended.
