Track Description
Available in:
Cher's coverversion of "Girl Don't Come", a Chris Andrews composition, that was a #3 UK hit for Sandie Shaw in 1964–65.
The track was recorded at Pye Recording Studios in Marble Arch in a session whose personnel included guitarists Big Jim Sullivan and Vic Flick.
"Girl Don't Come", originally envisioned as a ballad, was ultimately recorded at the tempo of Shaw's first hit "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me". Sandie Shaw disliked this arrangement of the song and had to be persuaded to record it,[citation needed] preferring that it be relegated to the B-side of another track, the Chris Andrews ballad "I'd Be Far Better Off Without You". Shaw's manager Evelyn Taylor favoured "Girl Don't Come" but acquiesced to Shaw's wishes. However when Shaw performed both songs on a television show "Girl Don't Come" drew the best reaction and radio airplay: it was as "Girl Don't Come" that the single entered the UK Top 50 (dated 12 December 1964) to peak at #3 in the week of 23 January 1965.
Although not one of Shaw's three UK #1's, "Girl Don't Come" is widely regarded as Shaw's signature hit and – unlike "Puppet on a String" – the singer has grown to appreciate the track to which she initially had an aversion. "Girl Don't Come" has also been recorded by Debby Boone, Cher, Ronnie Dyson and Eddie Rambeau.
