They've still got it! This live performance was posted in 2006. (Their original version of the song was released in 1961.)

This song has been described as a pop "supernova".



Here is a link to some history and background on Wikipedia.

When Donna starts singing, (censored). She has done that to me wee Oyrish self for well over 50 years.

Noel, Thanks so much for posting this. Great way to greet a new day.

I was having difficulty thinking of even one more song by The Tokens so I Googled them. They only had a few other songs that I recognized but a thing that amazed me was - Donna is not pictured on any of their album jackets.

<snip> Is that sustained note high C? She gets higher than that but that sustained note gives me goosebumps.
