Seventeen (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Seventeen" is a popular song, written by Boyd Bennett in 1955 (see 1955 in music).
Three versions of the song charted in 1955 in the United States. The original version, recorded by Bennett, reached #5 on the Billboard chart. The Fontane Sisters made a cover version, which did even better, reaching #3. And Rusty Draper's version charted at #18.
In the United Kingdom, Frankie Vaughan recorded the song.
"Seventeen" is also the title of an unrelated song by glam metal band Winger. It was released in 1989 and reached #26 in the charts (see 1989 in music).
"Seventeen" should not be confused with "At Seventeen," by singer-songwritter Janis Ian in the 1970s.
