Written by John D. Loudermilk. It was first released in 1962 by Don Cherry, as a country song[1] and again as a doo-wop in 1967 by the group The Casinos on its album of the same name, and was a number 6 pop hit that year. The song has since been covered by Eddy Arnold, whose version was a number 1 country hit in 1968, and by Neal McCoy, whose version became a Top 5 country hit in 1996. I choose the Casinos version in my cover. Hope you enjoy....
