That's Dusty's song they tried to sing. I guess they were the UK's Chiffons.

There was another American group called The Chiffons out of Calif., I think. They covered the Shirelles' hit "Tonight's The Night" about the same time the Shirelles' record was issued. They were NOT the group who hit with "He's So Fine" on Laurie in '63.

They weren't from the U.K. at all Kamasu .. it seems that they were Australian.

I don't think they could have got away with using the name CHIFFONS in the U.K. as both "He's So Fine" and "Sweet Talking Guy" were major hits here and law suits would have been flying.

I've found this biography on the singer who was interviewed in that youtube clip, Maureen Elkner ..

Australia. I heard accents and couldn't that sounded British.
