More good female doo wop. The Bobbettes were probably trying to sound the Chordettes and succeeded if not surpassed them. This is another hit that just gets in your head and won't leave. Mr. Lee was apparently a teacher of the girls (although why they later recorded "I Shot Mr. Lee" is a little weird). The instrumentation is not really noticeable but that's probably a good thing. A great little tune by a great minor group. Giving rock and roll a few more options before the great white male takes the stage yet again. "One, two, three, hep."
Man, now I totally need to hear "I shot Mr. Lee."
