Here's a catchy song I've always really liked. Miss March was only 14 when she recorded this.
Little Peggy March -- I Will Folllow Him (1963)
Del Shannon - Runaway (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?
How about some more awesome early '60s teen pop:
The Shangri-Las - Leader of the Pack (1964)
The movie Mulholland Dr. introduced me to this great tune:
Linda Scott -- I've Told Every Little Star (1961)
I was thinking of nominating Leader of the Pack as well.
Dion - Runaround Sue (1961)
Just for fun, here is the song in one of my favorite movies from my childhood:
Little Big League

I think someone mentioned The Ventures earlier? Here we go:
The Ventures - Walk, Don't Run (1960)
Something festive....
Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (1963)
The movie Mulholland Dr. also introduced me to this great tune:
Connie Stevens -- Sixteen Reasons (1960)
Nothing to see here; move along.
Looks like "Sixteen Reasons" was released in December 1959: http://www.45cat.com/record/5137us
Ok; my bad. I'll move it when I can nominate again in that thread.
Let's try this:
Roy Orbison -- Only the Lonely (1960)
Ronny and The Daytonas - GTO (1964)
The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me (1960)
