What Are You Listening To?

[Jerome]

was just doing some research on the song

written by Chip Taylor, who also wrote Wild Thing
Recorded by many, including Merrilee Rush, Juice Newton, Nina Simone, P.P. Arnold, Olivia Newton-John, The Pretenders/Chrissie Hynde, Dusty Springfield, Mary Mason, Melba Montgomery, and Billie Davis

Merilees was first with a #7 hit here in 1968, discovered while touring her group The Turnabouts as opening act for Paul Revere & The Raiders. The song was first offered to Connie Francis who turned it down.
Got Marilee a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, losing to Dionne Warwicks San Jose song

See, it's all a big circle. The San Jose song is one that is covered on the Percy Faith album.

The guy must have made a bundle on royalties. Well deserved too. Bloody marvellous track.
