At first glance, I thought this was a big hit for her; knew it was very
familiar to me! However, it's not listed in my Top 40 book! Strange I
missed it on my Bye Bye Birdie soundtrack (even with Bonus tracks), but
this is probably a re-recording for the 45 single; same goes for other
songs in that Broadway/Movie Film. A good singer!...

Upcoming, a song that nearly charted identical, simultaneously, for two
different artists in 1961. Think you can guess the song? Hint: Another
movie film derivative.

It got to #54, 9 wks on the Hot 100 - yeah, seemed bigger than that to me,
too. Good record, IMO.

Glad I was not imagining things! :-)

Thanks, Gary!
