October 5, 20186 yr Hi Alex, I have to bow to your superior knowledge of the early/mid 50's these days! I know very few of your choices :lol: I do love that Born To Be With You song, though, Dave Edmunds did a version in 1973 that I was big on! The Chordettes were sweet, especially the fab Mr Sandman and this one.
