During the same session Sal Pippa, then billed as "Sonny Dee", cut an unreleased Demo of "Lonely Teenager", the same song that he later sold to Dion for an estimated $ 50.00 (and which became Dion's first solo hit). Flip of this demo was an alternate version of "Cheryl", also by Pippa & The Camerons…
