"Diane" #10 6/20/1964 Bonus

The roots of this one go back to a 1927 silent movie titled "Seventh Heaven." Music would be written to accompany the action on screen and was sent to theaters on records to be synced in-house with the movie. This version from June '64 is by an Irish group called the Bachelors and was their biggest US hit, plus their only UK #1.

They also did a version of the Tommy Dorsey song MARIE.

The Bachelors version of "Marie" got to #15 the week of 7/24/1965. Written by Irving Berlin in 1929. Guess those guys had a thing about old songs.
