Jorgen Ingmann - Apache - Original -

In addition to Deming’s biography: The US success of Jörgen Ingmann’s version of Jerry Lordan’s instrumental “Apache“ (which hit no 1 in US Singles’ list in 1961) was largely due to EMI’s omission to publish The Shadows’ original 1960 version in time for USA. The cover version of the Dane became first and The Shadows’ hit could not pace. SHADOWS VERSION OF APACHE WAS TRASHED BECAUSE IT COULD NOT COMPETE WITH JORGEN’S.
