Recording sessions: Produced by Buck Ram in Los Angeles, CA, Aug. 27, 1959
Highest chart positions: didn't chart
Around the time when this single was released, Williams pursued a solo career. He had just issued his first solo LP "A Girl Is a Girl Is a Girl" the month before. Sales-wise the LP was a flop. One reason could be that he had some bad publicity due to a lawsuit (on a morals charge) that autumn. The Platters had also a quite slow year in terms of chart success in 1959, with just one US Top 40 hit ("Enchanted").
List price: Very Good+ is $10, Near Mint is $20
