I also remember this when it came out and I loved it. I'd seen Joey on some shows but I had no idea she could belt out a song like this. Great job and she was a little hottie.

Wow, it's been a long time since I heard this one! I remember back in 1972 a DJ on the radio back announced this song as "the trumpet player injuring himself" on this song! Joey was going through some rough personal times when this album came out. Thanks for posting.

I always thought a black woman sang this! Talk about blue-eyed soul.

She really nails this song. I wonder what Ferlin thought the first time he heard her version?

@Aphidboy No doubt he was blown away. :)

I bought this 45 in 1972. A big love affair had just ended and I just wore out the record playing it over and over and crying. Looking back it's sort of funny today, but it wasn't then! I had no idea the song was a cover of a Ferlin Husky hit until this evening when I read of his death.

@taytaytoo Me neither. Never knew it was a cover until maybe ten years ago when I heard Husky's version played on the Westwood One nostalgia feed on a local AM station.

I've always loved this song. In more recent years, I've discovered the earlier hit version by Ferlin Husky (the 1957 one, not one he did even earlier under the name Terry Preston), and I like that one a lot, too. Both of these remind me a little bit (or maybe more than a little bit) of Neil Diamond's original recording of "Red, Red Wine".

@rslitman Same with me. Never even knew of Ferlin Husky's hit until perhaps ten years ago when I heard it played on a nostalgia station. I admit I'm partial to Joey's.
