Burt Bachrach's "Send Me No Flowers" - Great vehicle for Classical Girls' Group smash

[robb_k]

Burt Bachrach's and Hal David's "Send Me No Flowers" would have been a great song for Classical Brill Building Girls' Group smash hit, sung by The Shirelles, Chiffons, Cookies/Honey Bees, Orchids, Charmettes, Blossoms, Crystals, Victorians, Lollipops, Buttons/Alder Ray, Royalettes, Cinderellas, Butterflys, Jelly Beans, Charmers, Chantels, Jades, Pandoras, etc.

I only have heard the Doris Day version [[movie theme for her film of that title). Usually, I think her singing is very bland. But, even with her bland, but nice singing, the strength of this well-crafted song comes through. Sung by one of the great groups listed above, it would have been a big hit. For whatever reason I have never seen any version of this song done by anyone other than Doris Day.

Does anyone know if a girls' group version was released?
