Wilson’s chart success was declining at this time. His previous single “Hearts” was US #58, this one #70, the next one “Forever and a Day” was #82 and the one after that “What Good Am I Without You” was #121. He must have been happy, when his single “Baby Workout” turned the tide in 1963. That record is in my next post.
