British teenage singer Tammy St John missed out on chart success but recorded several gems of the Brit girl genre. Born Judith Coster in Hornchurch in Essex, she earned a recording contract with Pye Records at the age of just 14 and released four singles over a two-year period. Each showed a very different side of the young singer as her record company tried to find a winning sound. Her fourth single is this highly danceable slice of psychedelic pop, a song previously recorded by US girl group the Chiffons, and written by New York psych weirdo Brute Force. Though it failed upon release in February 1966, it became a firm favourite on Britain’s northern soul scene a decade later. The B-side, Stay together young lovers, was a version of a Ben Aitken original, which was also covered a year later by American girl group Brenda and the Tabulations. She had to wait another three years before releasing one final single, the soulful Concerning Love, on the Tangerine label (which is particularly rare and now commands extremely high prices - a copy recently sold for £565 on eBay.)
