The song became a hit for Rosemary, reaching #10 on the charts in the United States and number one in the UK Singles Chart early in 1955. The original record was produced by Mitch Miller. The 45 lists the artist as Rosemary Clooney With The Mellomen And Buddy Cole And His Orchestra (Side one) and Rosemary Clooney With Paul Weston And His Orchestra (Side two).
