    "Poor Me" was released when previous single "What Do You Want?" was still at number two in the UK Singles Chart. The song was originally rejected by several music publishers in its original incarnation as 'Poor Man'. It was felt by some that Faith and Barry contrived a backing and singing style that leaned too heavily on the late lamented singer Buddy Holly, and "Poor Me" was likened to his hit single "Heartbeat". ["Faith sounding too much like Buddy Holly" http://www.adamfaith.org.uk/biog.php Retrieved 08/28/07]

    Faith also made a guest-appearance on the popular "Beverley Sisters' Television Show" on 25 January 1960, performing this song.
