OK, more 50's: While recovering from a bike accident, 15 year-old Bruce Bellard was given an ukulele as a present. The first 4 chords he learned are the opening for this sunny '57/'58 Southern California classic. Band mate Glen Larson came up with the chorus while body-surfing with Bellard inspired by an island in the distance. Peaked at #2 Pop and at #6 R&B, sold over 1 million copies and his group performed it on The Ed Sullivan Show. The song influenced Brian Wilson and Jimmy Buffett. Song? Group?
