To my great surprise, I've just picked up a UK Mercury 58 copy of this at a local boot sale. Great single (though the b-side - "Cha Cha Rock" - might as well be Perry Como). But why did Mercury ever release anything as obscure as this? I thought US 45s had at least to be some kind of minor or local hit to be wortth considering for UK release. I doubt if this ever sold more than handfuls of copies.
