The song had two writers, Bob Thiele (under the pseudonym George Douglas) and George David Weiss.
According to wiki, in the USA Louis Armstrong's record "sold fewer than 1,000 copies because the head of ABC Records did not like the song so did not promote it, but was a major success in the United Kingdom, reaching number one on the UK singles chart. It was also the biggest-selling single of 1968 in the UK."
Very very nice, so thankyou Jazzsquire.
