LITTLE LATIN LUPE LU
“Little Latin Lupe Lu” was written by Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers, who had a chart record with the song in 1963 reaching #47 on the Cashbox music chart and #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. (More from Wikipedia)
One garage rock compilation album that I picked up by mailorder sometime along the line is We Had the Beat / The Heart Beats & Other Texas Girls of the 60’s. The Heart Beats were a good enough band, as were the other featured bands; mostly they recorded serviceable covers of songs like “Little Latin Lupe Lu”, “Poor Side of Town” and the Nancy Sinatra hit “How Does that Grab You, Darlin’?”.
