For 1961 an interesting choice to use the word triangle as a metaphor for love going sour.Since no third person is involved in the wilting of the young lady's romance, I'm guessing the triangle metaphor is being used to describe her boyfriend's questionable affections towards her.He sounds like a total cad and deserves to be dumped--there's better fish in the sea, Janie! Don't give up on love or yourself!.Oops! Sorry...this is like a soap opera you can really get too emotionally involved in...
I first heard this song when I was at Fort Dix, NJ in the Army, May 61. It made me think of my 14 yr. old girl friend...who is now my wife of 43 yrs......GREAT!
The above photo was taken from a teen magazine that showed her performing at "Jilly's Teenage Night Club" In Somerville,N.J.
Wonder whatever became of "Jilly's"!
It's the first photo that I ever saw of Janie....too bad it didn't come out too great in the magazine.

Very nice song dripping with the innocence of an era that we`ll, unfortunately, never see again.

In my opinion, Janie Grant excellent, Linda Scott even better.
