Initially aiming his output at teens, Brian Hyland grew up fast and cut a serious cover of "Gypsy Woman," a hit by the Impressions that went gold in 1970. The Queens, NY, native enjoyed his biggest hit at the tender age of 16 -- the tongue-twisting "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini," a cute ditty snapped up by Kapp Records after it was issued on the little Leader logo. Hyland moved to ABC-Paramount and already sounded more adult by the time "Sealed With a Kiss" hit in 1962. A string of solid sellers, including "The Joker Went Wild" in 1966, preceded his remake of "Gypsy Woman," produced by Del Shannon and released on Uni. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
