I did have one more US release from Eddie Cochran in the box. A nice surprise. 😊
This was Cochran’s second solo single and the first one to hit the charts. John D. Loudermilk’s original “Sittin’ In the Balcony” was released the same month as Cochran’s cover. It’s very similar and it climbed to US #38.
