Carol Hedges was a 16-year-old aspiring singer when she was discovered as the result of a talent contest in 1962.

Backed up in the competition by Cliff Bennett's support group, the Rebel Rousers, she won the contest and Bennett got her together with producer Joe Meek.

Hedges was recorded by Meek with his resident group, the Tornados, without achieving success.
