A Teenager in Love
Doc Pomus’ earliest release of “A Teenager in Love” on file came out in 2025. Doc Pomus shares the writing credit with Mort Shuman. The earliest release on file is Dion & The Belmonts’, from 1959. Also recorded by Sha Na Na (released 1973), Dion (released 1982) and Marty Wilde (released 1974), among 95 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Everybody knows the Dion & The Belmonts record, but this is the songwriter himself singing it at his house in Lynbrook, Long Island, a recording that only came out in 2025. It's the song with the doo-wop polish stripped off and the man who shares the credit standing right in front of it.
Dion & The Belmonts put it out in 1959, and it kept getting passed around from The Fleetwoods to Donny Osmond. Play the writer's own take next to it and hear the man who wrote it with Mort Shuman sing it himself.
