Dean Ford & The Gaylords, from Scotland, released "Twenty Miles" before changing their sound and misfortunate name to Marmalade in the mid-60s. What's probably most interesting about Marmalade is that they had two bassists in the band!
Like music of that era, the record companies did not want the bands to actually write the music, but to play music from "hit" song writers.
"Twenty Miles" was originally written by Barry Mann and Dave Appell and recorded by Chubby Checker. The song dou already worked with Chubby Checker with his "The Twist" variants (or sequels): "Let's Twist Again" and "Twist It Up".
So, about this cover, I think it is better than the original... mostly due to the catchy whistling!
Also, you can put your own playlist on other websites (just make sure there's a link going back to vox) using: geo-vox.com/vox/playerwidget.html. According to pop.vox.com, this smaller widget will be a sidebar on all vox blogs.
If you want to use the "embed" feature, you must tick "Vox Beta".
