Go Now - Bessie Banks originally recorded this song, written for her by Larry Banks and Milton Bennett, in 1963. It was soon covered by The Moody Blues as well as five other artists.
The Toys - A Lover's Concerto (Stereo Mix)
The Fortunes - You've Got Your Troubles, in color! (1965)
Danny & the Juniors shot straight to the top of the charts in early 1958 with their biggest hit ever, the gold-selling "At the Hop"
Will You Love Me Tomorrow. Carole King was only 17 when she wrote this song for The Shirelles with then husband Gerry Goffin, the first of many chart hits they wrote in the 1960s.
David McWilliams - Days Of Pearly Spencer (1967)
Days of Pearly Spencer has been covered by an astonishing number of singers including David Bowie and Marc Almond, so many I have lost count. The original orchestral arrangement was done by Raymond Lefèvre. But among other orchestral versions is one by Gigi D'Agostino which is worth checking out.

David McWillams was constantly played on Radio London, and his PR team back then made sure that he got an inordinate amount of exposure!
I quite liked this song, and it brings back some memories too, singing the punchline, holding our noses...
