This was recorded in Anka's first recording session with ABC-Paramount. He had released one single ("I Confess" / "Blau-Wile Deveest Fontaine") before this one in September 1956, but that didn't have much success. That's a collector's item, though; listed at $80 for a NM.
It's been estimated that over 9 million copies of this hit single have been sold.
