Today marks the day that this song started a four week run at No.1 on the US singles chart...and like me, was the soundtrack to end the Spring of 1990 and start the summer...a great one as I remember. Good morning!

This song was written by Cindy Walker. Other people did their versions, but Ray Charles had the best-selling, and hit #2!!
This single was released May 8, 1962 with "Having a Party" as the B-side. Enjoy.
This song was actually released in November of 1961, but hit #2 on the US charts in early 1962. I feel that it makes it a song of 1962.

Elvis was at the Worlds Fair, and shot for a movie called "It Happened at the World's Fair." Someone told me that they knew a secret service agent that worked with Elvis as his guard back then. I was told he wore no underwear, and put black shoe polish in his hair.

Orbison had a Greatest Hits back in 1962. One of the early greats of rock n roll!!
Released July 23, 1962, this was Gaye's first top ten single on the R&B charts, and top 50 in the Billboard Hot 100.
Released in 1962 in the UK. I think that they were ahead of the curve when it came to the Beatles since it wasn't released in the US until 1964.
