Doo be doo be do🎶 This is very romantic;frankly I've never heard it before (the fate of many B sides...my favorite though is Mama said,because one feels this way so often

@bookerdana "Mama Said" was a great one. This A-side was "Baby, It’s You" which received exponentially more air time.

@bijouxbroussard The Beatles covered that..evidently Lennon was a fanboy

@bookerdana Yes, I do remember that.

@bijouxbroussard They also covered Mr Postman..I wasn't sure if they did did that because "memory is the thing I forget with"😀 They didn't,but a similar style...hey put on a poodle skirt and I'll tease up my hair and we can cut the rug🤤

@bookerdana That was the Marvelettes. Even on YouTube a couple of posts have misidentified the Marvelettes’ arrangement as the Shirelles.

@bookerdana What ? Oh, Phil Spector, yeah…she out-lived him by only four days less than a year. Tragic.
