According to the book - British Hit Singles 16th Edition by Guinness World Records the song in question was recorded by the following artists:

Cliff Richard and the shadows in 1961
Young Rascals in in 1967
Edwyn Collins in 1994 and 1995


Iggy Pop may have covered it, but it wasn't a chart hit.

Hope that helps to clear things up
