In 1964, a band from Plattsburgh, New York called the Twiliters recorded a live version but it did not chart. A classic version by Chad Allan and the Expressions, also known as The Guess Who, was recorded in December 1964 and released in the spring of 1965, and it reached #1 in Canada, #22 in the US and #27 in Australia.
