Musicians - Mike Clifford: vocal - Patience and Prudence McIntyre: back-up vocals - Eddie Cochran: guitar - Unidentified: other instruments. 
Eddie and the other musicians laid down the instrumental track and Mike Clifford, with assistance from patience and Prudence, later added the vocals. Mike Clifford and Eddie Cochran met when the track was being remixed.
The CD 'The best of Patience and Prudence' (EMI Collectors' Choice Music (CCM-444-2)) contains the complete Liberty and Chattahoochee recordings of the McIntyre sisters.
Mike Clifford signed with Liberty Records in 1959 and worked with Mark McIntire. They got some material together and Mark was friends with Eddie, and asked him to play on the session. Mike Clifford was not on the instrumental session; he sang to the track after it was done. "I went down a few days later and listened to the track after they remixed it. That is when I met Eddie ... He was so nice to me. Singing on this track were Patience and Prudence ... Eddie was so gracious to me, so pleased to be on my record. He gave me such respect I didn't know what to say." (information from Alan Clark's: 'A Tribute To Eddie Cochran - Never To Be Forgotten).
The sister duo Patience and Prudence reached the Top Ten in 1956 with a fluke hit, the ghostly "Tonight You Belong to Me." The daughters of a professional musician - Mark McIntyre, who accompanied Frank Sinatra on piano during the mid-'40s - Patience and Prudence McIntyre reportedly learned the song while at summer camp in 1955 (when they were nine and 12, respectively). Their father was impressed enough to work up the arrangement as a demo intended for cabaret singer Lisa Kirk. McIntyre also recorded a version with Patience and Prudence's vocals and gave a dub to studio friend Ross Bagdasarian, who passed the record on to Si Waronker of Liberty Records. Waronker loved the song, so Patience and Prudence signed to Liberty and recut the song with overdubs to strengthen their ethereal vocals, then watched as the record soared to number four nationally (with several cover versions eventually coming along). After performing on Perry Como's television show, they chose for a follow-up single "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" (earlier a minor hit for Teresa Brewer), which just missed the Top Ten later in 1956. The duo recorded several more singles - including a pairing with fellow Liberty act Mike Clifford and several singles for the Chattahoochee label - but never reached the charts again. (based on John Bush - All Music Guide).
