Yep. It was originally recorded by Jackie DeShannon. And bombed. The Searchers heard it in Hamburg being done by Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers, and they ‘nicked’ it. They then had to fight with their label to get it released as a single. When Tony Jackson [the Searchers’ bass player/singer] split, he was replaced by Frank Allen, bassist with the Rebel Rousers.

The Searchers covered a second De Shannon tune [she also wrote it] called “When You Walk in the Room”. Her version sank. Their’s didn’t.

Her version, from 1964, is by far the best.
