Two songwriting teams that wrote for Jay and the Americans were Boyce/Hart and Pomus/Shuman...neither wrote a USA number three hit for any group/band, or a song beginning with that sung melody. Goffin/King did, "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the Monkees, but there's no such NTT melody in that song. It even was #1 in Canada, but it ain't the song....d a n g...............

Must be a more obscure song that Jay and the Americans recorded, and by a songwriting team that's none of the above...

NOT Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil...
not Crewe/Gaudio...

--and the only hit Bacharach and David wrote for a group in the Sixties was "Little Red Book" by Love which bubbled under the top 40.
