 * Keep (No not delete) Coverage is not trivial. Major bands have covered it from 1969 to 1990's, possibly later too. Just because a song does not have evidence of charting in the Anglo Western world doesn't mean that it is any less notable. I believe that the song was a hit in Hong Kong for Danny Diaz & The Checkmates. Also a European group may have had a hit with it too. I'm currently looking into that. More than 5 groups have covered the song. BTW: Just to let you know also,There are many songs of notability that have been covered by groups that have not charted.

 * keep, I agree with the above. The song has been covered by Euro bands and minor hit in some Euro countries, Czek, Germany etc (Sharkey45 (talk) 11:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC))
 * KEEP, this song is covered by multiple artist and was hit in South East Asia, Hong Kong hit and popular in Singapore and the Philippine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Real Natural (talk • contribs) 10:19, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no charts or awards, covers limited to obscure bands, sorry this just isn't notable enough. A-Kartoffel (talk) 10:43, 9 April 2009 (UTC) – Struck sock puppet !vote. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 01:42, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, Tell me A-Kartoffel, how do you determine that the bands are obsure ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by George-Archer (talk • contribs) 08:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
