Summer Holiday cover

Cliff Richard and the Shadows recorded this song, which was written by the band's rhythm guitarist and drummer. The track originated from a film of the same name and was released as the second single from that film's soundtrack in early 1963. The song achieved significant chart success, reaching the top position on the UK Singles Chart for two separate periods, with an instrumental track by the Shadows briefly displacing it from the number one spot between these runs.
