Late Final - Hang On Sloopy

Rework of the classic (originally "My Girl Sloopy") written by Wes Farrell and Bert Berns by South Africa’s Late Final.
Rhythm and blues vocal group the Vibrations were the first to record the tune in 1964. Atlantic Records released it as a single, which reached number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1965, the rock group the McCoys recorded the song and had greater success. Recordings by additional artists also reached the charts, including versions in Spanish and Portuguese.
According to Rick Derringer, the original version of Sloopy was written by a "high school kid in St. Louis" and sold to Bert Russell, also known as Bert Berns. The inspiration for the song is said to be Dorothy Sloop, a jazz singer from Steubenville, Ohio, and a student at Ohio University.
