Actually a performer named Johnny Cymbal co wrote the song and put out the record under his brother's name who was named Derek. Back in the 50's when he started recording the first song he did was Mr. Bass Man which became a hit. Subsequently any songs thereafter he did a psuedo name was used which brings us to Cinnamon. He did other songs thereafter under different names. Go to you tube using Derek singing Cinnamon and you can watch and listen to the last performance of him singing it. He died a few days days later.

This was definitely NOT Derek & The Dominos. Someone has labeled it incorrectly from Limewire. That group featured Eric Clapton and the late great Duane Allman. "Cinnamon" was a one-hit wonder by Derek that came out about 1968, before Derek & The Dominos were even formed. - tim4901@hotmail.com

Eddie Holland sang "Jamie" in 1962
Mama said-The Shirelles, a '60s group
sorry, I can't find any sixties versions, however here are three close ones Roger Williams 1958, Jerry Lee Lewis 1959, Andy Williams 1959
Strawberry Fair is an English Folk song by H. Fleetwood Sheppard in 1891. A version was recorded by Anthony Newley in 1960. The beginning is the same as the traditional version, but then the rest is altered for humorous effect.
Frankie Valli sang with the group 'The Four Seasons' and it was early 60s pop music.
