JOHNNY BURNETTE "youre sixteen" B/W "i beg your pardon" 1960
i was never much of a fan of Johnny...i think three or four single "A" sides are about all i like from him...
this one?...i love it,fantastic early 1960s pop...hell, even Ringo covered it brilliantly a decade or so later....
"B" side, a nice ballad,i can imagine Elvis doing this one as a track in one of his better movies...
single peaked at #3 on the UK charts
