I cant remember who recorded this originally but I got it from the late David Alexander, a brilliant vocalist originally from Wales, I have had the honour of being his warm up act on a few occasions...Alex

Groundy, you are straight old school, and true to your form of art. I really appreciate that. This reminds me of being a kid listening to Mom and Dad's musical choices on road trips. Fantastic memories, Thank you.

Yep. Written by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard, "The Answer to Everything" was the flip side of Del Shannon's "So Long Baby" in 1961. It was also recorded by Joe Dolan in 1964 and, of course, David Alexander. Of the three, I like Del Shannon's the least.
