God, I hear that song everyday at work! It's so annoying.
I believe the artist is Johnny Burnette.

You're sixteen, recorded in 1960 by Johnny Burnette, covered by Ringo Starr-1973
Neil Sedaka did Happy Birthday Sweet 16, not You're sixteen.

johnny burnette/ cover by ringo starr also
You come on a like a dream, peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine
You're all ribbons and curls, ooh what a girl
Eyes that sparkle and shine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine
You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh when we kissed we could not stop
You walked out of my dreams and into my arms
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine

Ringo Starr sang it as a cover....Johnny Burnette originally sang "You're 16, you're beautiful and you're mine" for the American Graffiti soundtrack, I believe.
