Come Go with Me

"Come Go with Me" is a song written by C. E. Quick, an original member of the American doo-wop vocal group the Del-Vikings. The original audition version of the song was recorded by The Del-Vikings in 1956. It was released in July 1957 on George Goldner's Luniverse Records as Come Go with the Del Vikings, after distribution of the final, hit version by Dot Records in January 1957. The group's lead vocalist has long been disputed, with both Norman Wright and Gus Backus cited in various sources, although Backus was not in the group at the time. When Joe Averbach, the owner of Fee Bee Records could not handle the demand, he signed with Dot Records in late January 1957; the song became a hit, peaking at No. 5 on the US Billboard Top 100 Pop Chart. It also reached No. 2 on the R&B chart.
