The only way anyone would get this question is if they answered, as some occasionally do in Mark's quizzes, with the quiz master's name in the expectation that it's wrong. That sounds like a stumper to me. -- Dan Tilque |

David died in a car crash in 1964 and Roy himself recorded the song as the B-side of "Crawwling Back," in late 1965. In my opinion, if he released it as the A-side, he'd have had another big hit.
