Assume this was recorded sometime about his Yellow Polkadot Bikini hit,
maybe even the same recording session, because of the Stereo mix,
backing vocals, and band/instruments, putting it about 1960. Who needs
chart info, Ken Whiton!!?? :) Certainly not a US Top 40 Hit, but it
appears to have been a Hit in Japan, appearing on multiple Japanese CD
compilations; this one, 1990...

Speaking of Japan, did you know, in 1972, the Toyota Corolla 1200 sold
for less than $2000 in the US; as well as the Volkswagen Sedan 111; the
Ford Torino and Ranchero were popular; RCA offered Tape Cartridges,
Records or Cassettes at $.99 for any (6) mail-order selections; and
Sheila Roscoe appeared on the front cover of Sports Illustrated
magazine, January edition...

Page 164!!...

You're just jealous because the only chart info you have is a
(very) limited sub-set of Billboard chart data. ;-)
