Another jolly Embassy cover band. I like it very much.

I’ve heard the original version by The Crystals, but this one is new to me, even for an oldie!

The Starlings was one of a few names used by a group of very prolific session singers including Ray Pilgrim and Mike Redway, I believe the singer on this one is Jean Campbell? They recorded some pretty decent covers of popular songs in the 50s and early 60s for Woolworths on this Embassy label

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Campbell’s obviously the lead singer on this recording.

@@CWLrecordsSome of their covers were quite decent but I never bought one.

Embassy done some great cover versions. Only sold in woolworths back in the day👍

[@colinpurssey9875]

I think this label , Embassy , specialized in featuring undistinguished artist's cover versions of the big hits . Surprisingly , some are as good or even better than the originals .

[@CWLrecords]

I agree!

[@waynereynolds7598]

I like the crystals version better, but this is alright.

[@RobertSnyder-l3s]

I love the original better and the Beach Boys ! 🤫

[@CWLrecords]

Not bad for a budget Woolworths cover though right?
