This was Curtis Lee's biggest hit in his fairly short strike of success. He was in the business for about ten years, but he got charting singles out only in 1961-62.
Daryl Hall (of Hall & Oates) played on this record, but I wasn't able to verify what instrument he played.
This was the second US Top 10 song for Tommy Boyce. He soon started writing songs with Bobby Hart and they hit the jackpot when they wrote "Last Train To Clarksville" (US #1, UK #23) for The Monkees and many hits followed.
Showaddywaddy covered "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" in 1978 and got it to UK #5
List price: Very Good+ is $12.50, Near Mint is $25
