Johnny Valentine was first to record "Sandy" (Terry Fell) in 1958. If you have any information on "Johnny Valentine", please let me know.

Peaking at fifteen in 1959 was Larry Hall and his one hit, "Sandy". Posted by Sandra Estlow: "My sister dated Larry Hall when they attended Rancho Alamitos High School in Garden Grove, CA in 1958. He use to come over to our house and play his songs on our piano. One day he came by and was playing this song but he didn't have a title for it or all the words. I sat next to him and he used my name and told me he was going to name the song after me. I was only 12 years old at the time. I just thought he was kidding me until the record came out shortly thereafter. So...I am the Sandy he wrote this song for. Once he got his record out he toured and ended up on American Bandstand in 1959. My sister never saw him after that. He was a really nice guy and oh so cute but he wanted to make it big in the record industry. This unfortunately was his only really big hit."
