It was released in September 1958 as the B-side of the group's "To Know Him Is to Love Him", which topped the Billboard Hot 100.[1] Background and recordingSpector wrote the upbeat rock and roll song based on his then-current favorite performers, Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers.[2] It was his first experience with studio recording; the production was achieved by taking a demo tape of the song and playing it back over the studio's speaker system in order to overdub another performance over it.[3] The end product was a cacophony, with stacked harmony vocals that could not be heard clearly. He would develop these methods further, culminating in what would later be dubbed the Wall of Sound.[4] On May 20, 1958,[2] the song was recorded at Gold Star Studios, Hollywood in a single two-hour session.[5] According to biographer Mick Brown: "Nobody apart from Spector was really convinced the song was any good. [Studio owner] Stan Ross would later dismiss it as 'a piece of crap', and even Anette Kleinbart {{sic}} thought it was 'dreadful'."[2] Personnel
Art and Dotty Todd versionOn November 17, 1958, another version recorded by Art and Dotty Todd was given a four-star rating in Billboard, indicating "very strong sales potential". The publication referred to it a "swingy rocker ... Side moves, and it could get some action."[6] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Ribowsky|first=Mark|title=He's a Rebel: Phil Spector, Rock and Roll's Legendary Producer|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jsQRwiwtlN0C&pg=PA303|year=2000|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|isbn=978-0-8154-1044-7|page=303}} {{Phil Spector}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Brown|first=Mick|authorlink=Mick Brown (journalist)|title=Tearing Down The Wall of Sound: The Rise And Fall of Phil Spector|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AtGGsfW10d0C&pg=PA36|year=2012|publisher=A&C Black|isbn=978-1-4088-1950-0|page=36}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Smith|first=Carlton|title=Reckless: Millionaire Record Producer Phil Spector and the Violent Death of Lana Clarkson|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xeR-tetr45MC|year=2007|publisher=St. Martin's Press|isbn=978-1-4299-0890-0|page=57}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Howard|first=David N.|title=Sonic Alchemy: Visionary Music Producers and Their Maverick Recordings|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y4Sk0FNXkjcC|year=2004|publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation|isbn=978-0-634-05560-7|pages=5–7}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last=Warner|first=Jay|title=American Singing Groups: A History from 1940s to Today|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mTM_9JTeoMIC&pg=PA304|year=2006|publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation|isbn=978-0-634-09978-6|page=304}} 6. ^{{cite journal|title=This Week's Singles|journal=Billboard|date=November 17, 1958|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5QoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA56|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|issn=0006-2510}} 3 : 1958 songs|Songs written by Phil Spector|Song recordings with Wall of Sound arrangements |
