"Wendy" was originally released by the Beach Boys as the "B" side of "I Get Around" in 1964, but it's one of those songs that became a hit on it's own. Although it officially only reached #44 on Billboard, it was a top-ten hit regionally in many U.S. cities as well as around the world. The Beach Boys loved the song, even performing it on Ed Sullivan. It's a great song, largely forgotten today.
