This was written by the husband and wife team of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, who wrote most of The Everly Brothers songs in the ’50s. Their songs were also recorded by Bob Dylan, Elvis, and Buddy Holly.Some Boston radio stations banned this because of the lyrics. At the time, staying out late with a girl was a little controversial.
ok wait for this one…. At an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show while campaigning for President in year 2000, George W. Bush was asked by Oprah what his favorite song was. He said: “Wake Up Little Susie – by Buddy Holly.”
ps:Chet Atkins played guitar on this.

sblake,
Of course, GW would screw it up!!
I never heard of these song writers, but I think I’ll hunt them down. Boston was long noted for banning books, music and films.
