BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG…
These songs are well known
but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with
prior versions of the same song.
Barbara Ann
The most famous version of "Babara Ann" was recorded by The Beach Boys. Their single spent 2 weeks peaking in the runner-up position on the US chart in 1966. Dean Torrence (from the duo Jan & Dean) sings lead vocals on the recording.
The original version of "Barbara Ann" was issued by Italian- American doo wop outfit The Regents. In 1961, the vocal group scored a chart debut with its take. The disc reached #13 in the U.S.A. The Regents placed "Runaround" in the Top 40 later that year, before fading into obscurity.
