Roomates did a great cover of this about 20 years ago - made it more of a New York street corner sound.

First doo-wop to trouble the British charts I believe.

May be 'pastiche' - but most of these blokes were 50's R&B/Doo Wop veterans

Sometimes called the first ever rap song. Copy of it fell into my hands a couple of years ago in a bundle of records.
Think its early 70s but he used to sing rock'n'roll italiano back in the 50s - had an album of his.
I'm sure i've probably posted this before by Clem Sacco

Picked this one up on a compilation yesterday - great poppy/doo-woppy song from 1959.

Linda Robson was just talking about her mum liking this on Loose Women - the Mrs said, "have you ever heard of it?" -

The Amos Milburn track reminds me of 80s nights at the Dublin Castle watching the likes of Ricky Cool and the Big Town Playboys, the Red Hot Pokers, Essex's own Rent Party and Clive's Jive Five - they all played that 50s R'n'B/jumpin' jive sound and were a great introduction to the genre, which is fantastic live in a packed pub. So here's a few they used to play by some original 40s and 50s blokes
