"Eddie My Love" is a 1956 doo wop song. According to BMI and ASCAP, the song was written by Maxwell Davis (BMI), Aaron Collins, Jr. (ASCAP), and Sam Ling (BMI). Maxwell Davis played sax on the Teen Queens record. Aaron Collins was the brother of the Teen Queens. Sam Ling was an alias of Saul Bihari, co-founder of Modern, RPM, and other labels; Bihari and his brothers regularly attached their names to songwriting credits (without contributing substantially to writing the songs) as a means of getting a cut of the royalties, as was common practice at the time. The Teen Queens were the first to record the song, releasing their rendition on RPM in 1956. It became their biggest selling single, with several follow up records failing to generate the same success. The Chordettes and The Fontane Sisters also released hit versions of "Eddie My Love" in 1956. Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, in their 1971 musical Grease, parodied "Eddie My Love" as "Freddy, My Love."
