I loved the six five special movie of him they had on u tube. Shame they have taken it off. It was lovely to watch and took me back to the 50's.

See yew!

[@vintageappliguy]

Jackie version of this is great...what a voice.... but it is nearly impossible to dance the cha cha cha to because it is way to fast to cha cha to....for dancing I prefer Billie and Lillie's version because it is done at the perfect tempo for cha cha-ing

[@calindesmoines1]

With apologies to Billie & Lillie. This song should never been recorded by this lad. Maybe Helen Shapiro, but not Jackie Dennis.

[@conniff44]

Well he's half way to becoming the gay he obviously did, he's wearing a skirt. Maybe that's what pushed him over the edge. Great song though.

[@sparry4264]

The lyrics are abominable.
