| Description: |
This 1958 release was written by Sharon Sheely. Sheeley wrote the song when she was fifteen years old. She had met Elvis Presley, and he encouraged her to write. It was based on her disappointment following a short-lived relationship with Don Everly of The Everly Brothers. Sheeley sought Ricky Nelson to record the tune. She drove to his house, and claimed her car had broken down. He came to her aid, and she sprang the song on him. Her version was at a much faster tempo than his recording.
The song was recorded by Ricky Nelson on April 17, 1958, and released on Imperial Records through its catalog number: 5528. On August 4, 1958 it became the first number-one song on Billboard magazine's then-new Hot 100 chart. Hope you enjoy..... |

Ricky Nelson was a teen idol back in the 60's and my lead guitar player was a spittin image of him. Teen dance venues were packed just to get a glimpse of him.
enjoyed your singing this as it does bring back many memories. (As most songs do) |

I didn't see this one on the front board so glad I caught it.. Interesting background info. No wonder she didn't ask the Everlys to sing it. Good song for you, Brad..:)
