"Come Go with Me" is a song written by C. E. Quick (aka Clarence Quick), an original member of the American doo-wop vocal group The Del-Vikings. The song was originally recorded by The Del-Vikings in 1956 and was released on Fee Bee Records. When the group signed with Dot Records in 1957, the song became a hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart[1] and becoming the group's highest-charting song. The song was later featured in the films American Graffiti (1973) and Stand by Me (1986).
"Come Go with Me" was later covered by the American pop band The Beach Boys and was included on their 1978 album, M.I.U. Album. Although not released as a single at the time, the song was included on a Beach Boys compilation album, Ten Years of Harmony, in 1981. This version was then released as a single to promote the compilation album, and it then rose to #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in January 1982.[2]
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song #441 on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
