Interesting read ! The Stars On 45, btw, is also a dutch remake from a bootleg mix that used the originals. The dutch seem(ed) to have a knack for copying something and selling it as original :-)

Thanks, PeDupre! I did not realize that! It does have an unabashed cheesiness that could only have come from Europe;-)

Wow! This is fascinating! Never in a million years would I have connected these two songs. I also knew nothing about what Cass Elliott did before the Mamas & Papas. "Oh Susanna" to Bananarama! Sounds like a song still to be written!

I know, right!? I love uncovering connections like this. Pop music archaeology;-)
