Andy Williams' career started slowly on the singles side. Sure his “Days of Wine and Roses” was a big albums of the time, but that doesn’t matter as few bought albums. But this, the lowest of all top tens (tied in a three-way tie for #10 at its peak and listed third), is actually my favorite fifties track of his. First, it is not a competing version. Second, it just exudes gushiness. The female response part is crazy/funny, and Andy found something of a beat. It sounds like sock-hoppin’ music and, from a cardigan-wearing rock and roller, that means something.
