Another #1 record from 1962. Sometimes a song happens after days, weeks or even months of intense effort. However, the second #1 for the Shirelles, from May 1962, was the result of filling out the last five minutes of a recording session. Luther Dixon and Scepter Records head honcho Florence Greenberg wrote the song on the spot, and the group nailed it in one take. It has since become an ode to American military members everywhere.
