Did you know Neil Sedaka wrote well over 500 songs? (Some sources say it's closer to 1,000). And sang some great ones. Here's one of his best:
Neil Sedaka -- Breaking Up Is Hard to Do (1962)
Another breakup song.
Bobby Vee - Take Good Care of my Baby (1961)
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
The Tornados - Telstar (1962)
Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire 1963
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
In the spirit of Christmas...
B. Bumble and the Stingers -- Nut Rocker (1962)
Rosie and The Originals - Angel Baby (1960)
Gene Chandler - Duke of Earl (1962)

The Hollywood Argyles -- Alley Oop (1960)
Bobby "Boris" Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers - Monster Mash (1962)
Stan Getz and João Gilberto - The Girl From Ipanema (1964)

Can't second right now, but can nominate:
Dionne Warwick -- Walk on By (1964)
The Angels - My Boyfriend's Back (1963)
Elvis Presley - (You're The) Devil In Disguise (1963)
So what if there are 4 excellent versions of the same song?
