Dion.
It was co-written by Ernie Maresca, and was a hit in 1961.
Not his normal band, the Belmonts here - it was The Del Satins who backed him up.
In the liner notes of Dion's box set King Of The New York Streets, he wrote:
"It came about by partying in a schoolyard. We were jamming, hitting tops of boxes. I gave everyone parts like the horn parts we'd hear in the Apollo Theater and it became a jam that we kept up for 45 minutes. I came up with all kinds of stuff. But when I actually wrote the song and brought it into the studio to record it, well, her name wasn't actually Sue. It was about, you know, some girl who loved to be worshipped but as soon as you want a commitment and express your love for her, she's gone. So the song was a reaction to that kind of woman."
