Normally an unremarkable chart entry, only reaching #64 in March 1965...but Eddie Van Halen said Davie Allan was a major influence on him growing up in Southern California. Over the next few years, Davie created a guitar style based on lots of effects and distortion, which Eddie took to a stratospheric level. Done first by the Shadows (Cliff Richard's backing band) and turned into a worldwide hit in the early 60's by Jørgen Ingmann And His Guitar - that was the billing!
