Darin approached Brunswick Records with the song 'Early in the Morning' and Brunswick was very impressed with what they heard.  But Darin was still under contract to Atlantic Records' subsidiary label, Atco, so the song was released on Brunswick as being sung by 'The Ding Dongs'.  But when New York deejays started playing the record and it became popular, Atco soon discovered something was up and put a stop to the Brunswich record.

  1. Helen Way Singers were NOT used by Darin - they were on Buddy Holly's covers of "Early In The Morning" and "Now We're One" in June.
    Darin's girls were Barbara English, Sylvia Hammond, Trudy McCartney & Charlotte McCartney
