Written by blues rock stalwarts Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, 'A Teenager In Love' found itself in the UK charts three times over in June 1959. The biggest hit belonged to Kim's dad Marty Wilde but Dion DiMucci launched a career off the back of this doo-wop beauty, hitting paydirt with 'Runaround Sue' and 'The Wanderer' and still mooching around today.
