The Dennisons where another very popular group who many thought would make it to the top, they made such an impact at The Cavern, DJ Bob Wooler said “they’ve created the biggest impression on Merseyside since The Beatles”. Record companies heard they were drawing crowds in Liverpool like the Beatles used to do and Decca rushed up to sign them, releasing their debut record ’Come On Be My Girl’ in July 1963, a number they had written themselves. This was followed up with their version of the Rufus Thomas song ‘Walkin’ The Dog’, the ‘B’ side, ‘You Don’t Know What Love Is’ was written for them by Ben E King while they were touring with him, the record reached No. 36 in the charts. Their final single, ’Nobody Like My Babe’ , was released in November 1964 and although it was very commercial, it didn’t enter the charts.

Thanks, but missing two songs, Little Latin Lupe Lu and Lucy (You Sure Did It This Time).
Have these songs?
This is fun to hear. Thanks! W.
Thanks a million for this one !
I used to go to see The Dennisons regularly at the old Cavern lunchtime sessions in nthe 60's.
It was only a lifetime ago.
Hey, just came across these and they're great! I've heard of the Dennisons but never heard their discs. I think "Nobody Like My Babe" cuts off mid-song, tho -- any chance of a fix?
