The Beach Boys' Come Go With Me was a remake of a 1957 #4 hit by the Del Vikings. The song was written by Del Vikings member Clarence Quick, who also wrote their follow-up top-ten hit Whispering Bells. There were five other versions of Come Go With Me in 1957 – by Darlene Gillespie, Sunny Gale, Janet Eden, the Federals and the Promineers – but none charted. The Beach Boys' version originally appeared on their 1978 album M.I.U.. The initials stand for Maharishi International University, a private university in Fairfield, Iowa. Most of the album was recorded there. Here is Bobby Vee's version of Come Go With Me from his 1961 album Hits Of The Rockin' '50s. The saxophonist is 17-year-old Bobby Keys.

Remember that album of duets he released with Kiki Dee? Under the name Vee Dee?

Just think how exciting it would have been to have a supergroup including Bobby Vee, Kiki Dee, Joey Dee, Tommy Dee, Molly Bee, Curtis Lee, Brenda Lee, Johnny Lee, Dickey Lee, Peggy Lee, Laura Lee, Murphy Lee, Johnny Sea, Heavy D, Kenny G, The Fantastic Johnny C. and Booker T. & The MG's.

Here is another version of Come Go With Me. The Orlons, a Philadelphia quartet led by Rosetta Hightower, had three top-ten hits in 1962-63: The Wah Watusi, Don't Hang Up and South Street. This is from their 1963 alnbum Down Memory Lane.

 
Good 12
Okay 9

16: WAITING ON A FRIEND – THE ROLLING STONES

Five of my 333 fav songs ever in the top 40 at the same time.
