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. According to one critic, Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey adapted the song into the number, "Freddy, My Love", for the 1971 musical Grease.
