Reparata and the Delrons - Whenever A Teenager Cries (1964)

Charted at #60 on Billboard Hot 100 in February 1965, and released in December 1964. This is one of the great girl group classics, and likely would have been a much bigger hit had it not come along after the British invasion. Reparata and the Delrons are my favorite girl group. They began at a time when the craze for girl groups was winding down and the British invasion had taken hold, so they never really got the recognition they deserved despite releasing several fantastic singles throughout 1964-1969. Also recorded by Jenny and Lorraine, Claudia Höfer and the Jeans. With Hash Brown and his Orchestra. Written by Ernie Maresca. B-side is "He's My Guy".
