I could have sworn it was Jim Croce who sang that version, because it sounded like it was the same tempo and same key as Croce's "I've Got a Name". it didn't sound like Bob Dylan singing it, though, and it was in a slightly lower key. Brandt from Leesburg, Fl.I heard this song recently on radio station 102.7 from Lake-Sumter Landing in The Villages, FL.Dax from BrooklynPost Malone's rendition, before he was famous is jaw dropping.Listen to him here, and look for his other music. Clayton died in 1967 and never was given the credit and respect, nor the money, he deserved. Clayton played his song "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons?" to Dylan, who said, "I'm gonna use that." Clayton's song is also very beautiful, and he was very important in Dylan's evolution as a songwriter. But it should always be remembered that it came from Paul Clayton, who was Dylan's friend and the most-recorded young folksinger of the 1950s. Richard Barone from New York, NyIt's such a nice song.Lia from TexasJoan Baez version for me is the best, just beautiful.Emily from UtahMy favorite version of this song is the Peter, Paul and Mary version! The harmonies are incredible! One of my favorite songs of all time!.Popular lore has Frankie Valli's lead vocal giving the joke away, but it wasn't the case - it was the backing vocals. The picture sleeve of "Don't Think Twice" had a connect-the-dots pattern hinting at "We are your favorites." The sleeve for "On the Good Ship Lollipop" had jumbled cut-up Four Seasons pictures. After it was released, Vee Jay Records repackaged two previously released Four Seasons songs, "My Sugar" and "Peanuts," and released them as a Wonder Who? single, which sank without a trace. Two "Wonder Who" singles were released by Philips Records (1966's "On the Good Ship Lollipop"/"You're Nobody 'Till Somebody Loves You" and 1967's "Lonesome Road"), but this was the Wonder Who's only chart record. This was released as a joke and to see if the group could have a hit without the Four Seasons name on it, so they released this under the name "Wonder Who." Despite an unknown band name, it was still a hit, going to #12 in the US. In 1965, The Four Seasons released this as a single at a time when lead singer Frankie Valli had a major solo hit ("Can't Take My Eyes Off of You") and the group was at its peak of popularity (about the time that "Let's Hang On" hit the Top 10).
