Description: |
"Young Girl" is a RIAA million-selling Gold-certified single that was written, composed, and produced by Jerry Fuller and performed by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap with instrumental backing by members of "The Wrecking Crew."[2] It was released in 1968. People also say that it is a song about making the best time out of a broken heart.
The song hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, stuck behind "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding for the first week and "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro for the remaining two. It also hit No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart[1] and the US Cash Box listing. It reached No. 34 on the US Easy Listening. It reached No. 2 in South Africa.
In the UK, "Young Girl" was re-released in 1974 as part of a CBS Records series entitled "Hall of Fame Hits", and enjoyed a second UK chart run, peaking at No. 6. Quite honestly, from a instrumental with no vocals to what Joyce contributed into the back ups, I thought she again knocked it out of the park, TY !! |
