New York-born Brian Hyland had his first hit when he was 16 years old
with the novelty song "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini",
which went to #1 in 1960. Some minor hits followed over the next few
years until he hit it big again in 1962 with the teenage lament "Sealed
With a Kiss". A few years later he had another respectable hit with
"The Joker Went Wild". In 1970 he and fellow rocker
Del Shannon collaborated on Hyland's remake
of an old hit by The Impressions, "Gypsy
Woman", and it not only shot up to #3 on the pop charts but got him
some respectable critical reviews, also. A few years later his old hit
"Sealed With a Kiss" was re-released in Great Britain and cracked the
Top Ten.
