And they did it here.......bless !!!!

Looks now as if United Artists got confused and used Kui Lee credit . An easy mistake do we think ?

This is the actual Kui Lee track

 I don't think this one has been mentioned yet - 

 

[The Yank]

Here's another one for the list - 

 

[The Yank]

While this is definitely "Ain't No Big Thing", the lyrics are different. In  the Radiants version, the lead singer has a feeling he's losing his girl, in this version,

the lead has already found someone new -

Also need to remove (The) Ringos and Tommy Sands as their songs are different "Ain't No Big Things".  The Ringos song is a twangy guitar driven instrumental, which I think may have been covered by a few other bands, but isn't the song we're concerned with here.  The Tommy Sands song is an uptempo rock 'n' roller, again, not the song we're discussing in this topic.

[The Yank]

Here's two more that can be removed from the list - The Olympics and Ralfi Pagan.

The titles may be the same but the songs are completely different.
