John Leyton - Johnny Remember Me

1961 song that went to # 1 in the UK. Written and composed by Geoff Goddard and produced by Joe Meek. It was banned by the BBC because of its deathly haunting sound. (Even though it appeared on the BBC show Juke Box Jury) From The Guardian: Thanks to Telstar, Joe Meek is seen as British pop's first great futurist, but the vibe of this Meek production reaches back into our fog-struck, ghost-ridden past. It's an urgent Gothic romance, with John Leyton's vocal clutching at your sleeve, desperate to tell a story of loss and madness. Meek turns the drums into phantom horsemen and fills the record's dark spaces with melodrama � a keening female voice on the chorus rounds the effect off. Pure corn, perhaps, but sold with a dread conviction, which makes this the weirdest and most gripping British record to hit the top yet.
