♥ "First Love Never Dies" - by Jerry Fuller

For some interesting history of this song,
I refer to musicmasteroldies.blogspot dot com/2011_02_01_archive.html

"In 1961, The Champs, with Jimmy Seals, were touring with Jerry Fuller. You may not recognize his name, but he wrote a TON of songs in the 1960's, including huge hits like Travelin' Man, Young World, It's Up To You, and A Wonder Like You for Ricky Nelson, and also Lady Willpower, Young Girl, and Over You for Gary Puckett And The Union Gap. Unfortunately, Jerry's solo career never really took off. His biggest hit was a cover of Tennessee Waltz that only made it up to #63 on the charts (although it went to #13 in Canada on CHUM in Toronto, but I digress!) Champs bass player, Bobby Morris, was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bobby Morris and Jimmy Seals wrote this song together, and they gave it to Jerry Fuller to record, which he did on Challenge 9114 in 1961. But that single didn't get much airplay and never made it on the charts.
In 1963, Frankie Avalon did a cover version of the song on Chancellor 1131, and so did The Cascades of San Diego. (The Walker Brothers also covered it in 1965.)
RCA never released the Cascades version of the song. It remained in their vaults for years."

Song: First Love Never Dies
Singer: Jerry Fuller
Songwriters: Bob Morris / Jim Seals

The Lost '60s Recordings is a compilation that contains tracks from singles released by The Trophies and The Fleas in the early 60s for Challenge Records, plus solo by the individual band members. Those bandmembers were Rick Nelson, Jerry Fuller, Glen Campbell and Dave Burgess.

another account related to the singer:

When Campbell, Fuller and Burgess decided to form two phantom groups, The Fleas and The Trophies, to record and release their own material, Rick volunteered to be their bass singer, but because he was under contract to another label his participation had to be kept secret even from his fans. Glen Campbell (Rhinestone Cowboy, Wichita Lineman, By The Time I Get Phoenix), Jerry Fuller (writer of Travelin Man, A Wonder Like You, Its Up To You) and Dave Burgess (writer of Everlovin and a member of The Champs [Tequila]) account for dozens of chart hits in the 60s and 70s as either writers, producers or performers.
