*This one was actually a bigger hit in two other versions, but I only had this one available at the time I transcribed this chart -- I've since acquired both of the others. Art and Dottie Todd hit #6 in 1958, and The Fontaine Sisters did nearly as well, reaching #12. (Information provided by lyric guru and long-time friend Ron Hontz.)
