I mentioned songs that were number-one hits for two different artists several years apart. The two versions of Butterfly were on the chart at the same time. Also in 1957, there were two number-one versions of Young Love, by Sonny James and Tab Hunter. A version by the Crew-Cuts reached #17. Six other artists recorded Young Love in 1957, including Leon Payne, Tommy Steele and Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeer Darlene Gillespie.
