"Pretty Girls Everywhere" is a song written by Eugene Church and Thomas Williams which was first a hit for the American singer Eugene Church with his group The Fellows in 1958 and was later recorded and released by the American pop group The Walker Brothers as their début single in 1965.
Church's recording for Class records was his most popular reaching #6 R&B and #36 Pop in the US.[1]
The Walker Brother's version is notable as it captures the group just before Scott Walker became the lead singer. In his place John Walker is more dominant in a brassy Beat music arrangement. The single is backed with Scott Walker's first composing credit "Doin' the Jerk". The group can be seen miming "Doin' the Jerk" on the 1965 beach party movie Beach Ball.
