The Poni-Tails: Born Too Late

This was written by Charles Strouse (who later wrote Annie) and Fred Tobias. It was released in 1958 as the B-side to Come On Joey, Dance With Me but turned out to be the more popular number, reaching No 5 in Britain and No 7 in the US. It was the group’s only big hit, two other singles both reaching 87 in America.
