thanks, Mike!
A little trivia:
Jan Berry of Jan & Dean fame. Arnie Ginsburg is NOT the Boston DJ.
The song was written by Jan, Arnie, and Don Altfeld. Altfeld became an MD and he still stayed in the music biz as a writer and session cat with Lou Adler and Jan Berry. In fact, he co-wrote "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena." It was Altfeld who influenced Jan Berry to enter medical school.
The label and music publisher (Arwin and Daywin) was managed by Martin Melcher, husband of Doris Day. He also adopted Doris' son, terry, pop
music producer and recording artist.
