As a kid, I bought 2 Bobby Darin records ("Dream Lover" and "You Must
Have Been A Beautiful Baby"). I don't think I had any idea that ATCO
had anything to do with Atlantic. I'm sure there are still many
instances where I do not know that label A is a division of label B,
especially when it's a small division.

This came on on Sirius-XM Thursday, and I wondered, where was I ? I
don't remember this at all. I'm guessing it didn't chart or didn't
chart
very high, or maybe it was popular on the east coast or midwest.

Well, I never heard it in NYC. I hope it was because they were ashamed
to play it.

Your opinion is irrelevant here because you don't even like the song by

Let's see what it did in New York.

WABC never played it, and no other NY stations have surveys available in
the spring of 1962. MGM had switched away from Top 40 by then and WMCA
surveys start in August of 1962.

"WABC never played it"--that's enough for me. I don't see what my
opinion of the song has to do with the accuracy of my memory. I
remember hearing plenty of songs I didn't like.
Your opinion of the song has nothing to do with your memory. I'm saying
since you don't like the song by ANYBODY, that your opinion of each
version means nothing. Pretty much everyone else in this group thinks
that the Ray Charles version is one of the great records of all time.
You don't even like it, so why would we care what you think of any of
the other versions?
Here is how I rank the versions I know:
1 - Ray Charles - 10
2 - Uros Peric Perry - 7 -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw2Rbg4Q8Sk3 - Kenny Brawner - 6 -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsD96iEjn5E4 - Jerry Lee Lewis - 6
5 - Etta James - 6
6 - Usher at The White House - 6
7 - Brenda Lee - 5
8 - Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers - 5
9 - Elvis - 5
10 - Bobby Darin - 4
11- - Rare Earth - 4
12 - John Mayall & Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton - 3
