Answers
1. Lesley Gore, on her “Girl Talk” album. The Seashells released their own version in 1972 in the U.K.
2. Roy Orbison, in 1963. The notes, which Orbison hit effortlessly, spanned two octaves, which meant the song wasn’t picked up by other artists who didn’t have his range.
3. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, in 1962.
4. “Town Without Pity,” in 1961. It nabbed a Golden Globe Award for Best Song the following year.
5. “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” by Hank Williams in 1952. The song, released weeks after Williams’ death from a sudden heart attack, topped the charts for six weeks. The song was covered by Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline and Ray Charles, among others. Elvis Presley’s 1958 version went to No. 1.
