Though it was the later Tutti Camarata arrangement that would help turn the song into a recording success for Annette Funicello , it was former Mousketeer (1955-56) Judy Harriet who waxed this earlier version. The tune was co-written by the Sherman Brothers, who would go on to great fame as award-winning composers of movie musical song scores (notably for the Disney company). The original 45rpm single was issued on Surf 5023 - Tall Paul (Bob Roberts-Richard Sherman-Robert Sherman) by Judy Harriet For hundreds of other ‘originals,’ please visit the fascinating playlist “FIRST RECORDING OF THE SONG…” (click here: )
