This version of the song was taken to the top of the UK Singles Chart in January 1965 by Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames (b/w "Preach and Teach", Columbia DB 7428), breaking The Beatles' long-term hold on the number one spot of five weeks with "I Feel Fine",[2] and a month later appeared on the US Billboard pop singles chart to peak at #21.[3] The US single edited out the saxophone solo break. Interviewed after the 2003 Jools HollandSpring Hootennany, where he had played a "dynamite version" of the song, Fame explained that the arrangement had been written by Tubby Hayes.[4]
Matt Bianco coveredit
British band Matt Bianco covered the song in 1985; their rendition reached number 13 in the UK Singles Chart. The single version was then included in their second eponymous album in 1986, while the CD edition of the album only contained its 12" Dance Mix. Both versions featured on the MC edition of the long playing work, depending upon the various countries. The version also peaked at number 64 in Australia in 1986.[5]
