    Here in the UK it was Craig Douglas who got to No.1. in 1959 with Only Sixteen :)

    It got to No.1. in the summer and I remember people queuing up for it in January of 1960. I used to sell ex-Jukebox records and they started coming in around then.

      You will find it very hard to like any of these tracks..My bestest mate the late Rosi Pink and I would regularly go to South Norwood Public Halls(Stanley Halls) for Gigs and this particular night it was the terrifying Screaming Lord Sutch... at 14 years old we thought it a terrible gig..frightening, to never repeat that kind of 'artist' again...Joe Brown and the Bruvvers, The Yardbirds with Eric Clapton as great memories, more that, I cannot remember and then Wallington Public Halls where many famous artists appeared in the 60's mad times butg reat times.. but never will Screaming Lord Sutch be forgotten:yikes:

        Could not see that for some reason this morning..prefer that version though. Meet Mr. W when I was sixteen and played that record lots of times, so should really have remembered Craig Douglas:heehee:..

                I've got 2 older brothers one liked the Beatles and other liked the rolling stones. Both of them were a bit too late for me but of course i had to listen to them both.
                The younger brother took me to see the Beatles film called help. Those days if go in the afternoon could stay and watch it a second time straight after the first one finished, I fell asleep watching it a second time.i was only 11 years old

                    My big sis and I were taken to see A Hard Days Night that same year too.
                    We also saw Help, Yellow Submarine.and Let It Be.
                    We shared a bedroom and the walls were covered in Beatle pics. She was a George fan and I was a Paul one.

                    Ahhhhh those were the days!
