I'll agree with tonithenigthtowl. Pitney may have written it but the combination of Ricky Nelson and James Burton put it over the top.
But that also doesn't take anything away from the Rockville Rocket he will always have his place in the ground base of Rock and Roll
Had tickets to see Gene Pitney on tour at the Colston Hall in Bristol,
but he died the night before after a show in Cardiff, had seen him
a couple of times before and loved all his hits. Have to say, much prefer
the Ricky Nelson version of this song.
So was one night away from seeing him on that tour, 24 hours from Bristol.
