Linden scored two hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 late in the 1950s. The first was "Billy", a song originally written in 1911; it hit #7 in 1958. The second was "Goodbye Jimmy, Goodbye", which rose to #11 in 1959. Both singles were released on Felsted Records and featured Joe Leahy's backing orchestra. "Goodbye Jimmy Goodbye" incorporated elements of two previous tunes - the British music hall song "Two Lovely Black Eyes" and the country song "Goodbye Little Darling". There were a few covers, the biggest of which was by Ruby Murray in the UK. At the time of her first hit single Kathy was a married woman in her 20s, but her record company wanted her to appear as a child due to her childish voice.

This version as well as the oridginal done by the group you have said, is good in it's own right. I love both versions though the oridginal version was the one I heard first.I own a couple of her 45 records and I'm hopping to get more.

although this version was a bigger hit by the "Poni Tails", I think that Kathy's young solo voice (although she was already in her 20s here) gives this record the innocent sound they were going for. This record is kind of in the same teen angst genre as Andrea Carroll's / Sedaka's: "It Hurts To Be Sixteen". Nice upload! Thanks!
