B-2840 Reet (Rumst)
Artist: Vikki Carr
Author: Gene Pitney
Label: Liberty
Year: 1962
Five years before her name was associated with less rebel repertoire (It Must Be Him). Bubbling under hit US.
Covers:
Crystals [n°1 US; cut the same night as Vikki Carr's, but better supported; as The Crystals were touring, The Blossoms stood in (Gloria Jones, Bob B. Soxx and Darlene Wright, alias Darlene Love); this was Darlene's first recording for Phil Spector]
Jacques Revaux [as J'attendais]
Moose & The Pelicans [with Darlene Love]
Greg & Paul [as She's A Rebel]
Gene Pitney [as She's A Rebel]
Gene wrote it for Phil Spector's production unit at Liberty, not realizing Phil was about to start up Philles. Reason why these two early versions fought it out on the charts.
