"There! I've Said It Again" is a popular song written by Redd Evans and David Mann popularized originally by Vaughn Monroe in 1945, and then again in late 1963 by Bobby Vinton.
Vinton's version topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart on January 4, 1964 and remained there for four weeks. The song is significant because it marks a sort of dividing line between the "innocent years" of the Rock and Roll era, and the modern rock period - more specifically, it was the last song to reach number one on the Hot 100 before "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles topped the chart, an event that would change the direction of popular music. Ironically, Vinton would be one of only a few artists to continue chart success after the advent of Beatlemania.[1] The song also spent five weeks atop the easy listening chart.[2] It was Vinton's third number-one song on both charts, following "Roses Are Red (My Love)" and "Blue Velvet".
