Charted at #1 on Billboard in October 1952, and #11 on UK Singles chart. This was Joni's first hit. Competing versions by already established artists, Patti Page (whose recording charted at #4), and Margaret Whiting (#29), did not stop Joni's version as it rose to the top.

@TheLimePopsicle Then along came Joni...Think about this...Not only were artists Margaret Whiting and Patti Page along with Jo Stafford the bigger female stars in and around the early 1950's but everything the recorded became hits. They were good, but Joni was the BEST. She did justice to every kind of song she sung... from Edith Piaf, Mattinata, to Hank Williams. She really had a style all her own. No wonder the great Babra Streisand was so influenced by what she could do with a song.

Gee they must have plagiarized some of this song for the star trek song Ruth on shore leave.

I was 8 years old and loved the song.

I remember having this song on a 45rpm record and playing it in the barracks, over and over, while in the navy at the USNAMTC , Point Mugu CA. Just 18 years old and away from my girlfriend for the first time in our lives.
Ah, memories.

What a voice, Russel Davies on Radio2 was saying how she married a top military man at the pentagon. Fantastic show Russel does, "The Art Craft And Inspiration Of |The Popular Song"

Once this record took off the staff at
MGM records had to work day and night
to keep up with orders that were being
sent to far off places like Ireland, India,
and Japan.
The song remained #1 on the Billboard
chart in the U.S.A for 6 weeks in a row.
The record sold 2 million plus copies
and is the song everyone identifies
Joni James with.

It's also the first recording I ever heard by Joni.
