From 1961, Columbia Records. This song was written by Claude and Tillman Franks for 20th Century Fox to be used in a John Wayne movie of the same title. It didn't however get used in the movie, but was played during the previews in theaters.
@samcashmooney - Go onto amazon, he's got a boxset out of Germany on Bear Family Records called "More Than Climbing That Mountain", it's got all his original Columbia recordings and more, simply FANTASTIC, I listen to it always, TIMELESS !!
it is such a treat hear this song after all these years. it never made it into the movie[like liberty valence and one good woman from "big". ] i heard in the summer of '64 i thinkk. it's played off and on in my mind all these year. thanks for posting it.
In the early 60's an album of Claude King was released in Australia. it had Would you care; Little Bitty Heart; Pistol Packing momma; I backed out; Give me your love and a few others including his big hits. Lost the vinyl many years ago - has anyone heard these songs? They were very good but now unobtainable.

Can you download the flip side. "I can't get over"
I have the 45 but it's real scratchy.
Thanks

Thanks for sharing! I remember this song. It wasn't used in the movie but it was played on the radio thank goodness.
