Twinkle: Terry (1964)


Twinkle is an English singer-songwriter, primarily in the 1960s. Her most famous songs were "Terry" and "Golden Lights". In concept "Terry" bore some similarities to The Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack" (1964), both teenage tragedy songs about a girl lamenting the death of her daredevil boyfriend in a motorcycle crash. The record caused a furore, accusations of bad taste leading to its ban from the BBC. Jimmy Page was among the high profile session musicians who played on "Terry".
