We've now reached 1963 in our look at all records that peaked at 40 in the UK charts, and much like the record we're looking at, we're only going to stay in 1963 for one week as this was the only record of the year to peak at 40.
Billie Davis had debuted the previous year as featured artist on "Will I What" by Mike Sarne, aged just 16. Then in early 1963 she had her first hit in her own right with "Tell Him" which made the Top 10.
This was the follow up and was written by Charles Blackwell, one of the writer from the Joe Meek camp. Billie Davis had already made demo recordings for Joe Meek at the start of her career.
The lack of chart success with this record was the least of her worries though as she was seriously injured in a car accident later on in the year which effectively put her career on hold.
She did have one final Top 40 single though in 1968 with "I Want You To Be My Baby".
