Berry and Ginsburg, now christened " Jan & Arnie ", re-recorded their vocals on a professional recording system.
Produced by Lubin, " Jennie Lee " ( Arwin 108 ), backed with " Gotta Get a Date " ( credited to Ginsburg, Berry & Lubin ), became a surprise commercial success.
According to Berry's biographer Mark A. Moore, " The song ( with backing vocals, plus additional instruments added by the Ernie Freeman combo ) had a raucous R & B flavor, with a bouncing bomp-bomp vocal hook that would become a signature from Jan on future recordings.
" Distributed by Dot Records, " Jennie Lee " was released in mid-April, entered the charts on May 10, 1958, the same day they appeared on ABC's Dick Clark Show.
" Jennie Lee " peaked at No. 3 on the Cash Box charts on June 21, 1958, No. 4 on the R & B charts, and No. 8 on the Billboard charts on June 30, 1958.
Billy Ward and His Dominoes's R & B cover of " Jennie Lee " reached No. 55 in the Pop charts in June 1958, while other cover versions including that of Moon Mullican ( Coral 9-61994 ) and Bobby Phillips & the Toppers ( Tops 45-R422-49 ), released in 1958 failed to chart.
