Percy Faith and someone else had UK hits in 1960 with the same tune. Who was the other artist and what was the tune?

Greetings, Norry! I believe "A Summer Place" is the tune you have in mind. Percy Faith had a no.1 instrumental hit with it, and I DO recall lyics being added and sung by a female vocalist whose name I do not know, but will take a stab at Helen Shapiro. Dec 13 03, 6:07 AM

Good afternoon (or whatever it is in Brisbane), shady! Not the answer I was looking for, though this person's first name is one you know very well! (You WERE right with 'A Summer Place'!) Dec 13 03, 6:12 AM

Who composed the tune, “Twinkle, twinkle….”? Where else have I heard the theme tune to the ITV sitcom 'Hardware'? Who was the first female recording artist to have three UK number one hits before the age of 18? Who said 'Tune In...Turn On...And Drop Out'?

1 Same Tune, Different Song What do you do if you have some great lyrics but can’t think up a great melody to go with it? Well you could use a tune from another song.
