This record never charted nationally but still, it's a great period single. It followed his biggest hit "Patches", then another follow up titled "I Saw Linda Yesterday"
Thanks for the post my friend!

Sadly this song has become a way of life for way to many working men and women in America.! Take care ADonovan43

This did reach #104, in Billboard (Sep 21, 1963) and "bubbled under" the Top 100 for two weeks.

I, indeed first heard this song on WLS in Chicago. For some reason I lost the 45 years ago. I now have a mint copy from eBay. I'm a hopeless romantic and only hope tat the two lovers were reinuited somewhere even if only in the Twilight Zone. If only Patches could come back to a happy life. So sad!

Thanks for posting this...never heard it before. According to the Las Solanas / ARSA website, this song it was a "Top 30" hit in both Endicott, NY and Springfield, MA as well as a "pick hit" in Pittsburg, CA and St. Louis, MO, though I don't believe that it reached the national charts.

You are correct that this never reached the national charts. It charted at #19 on WLS in October 1963. It was also played a lot on my hometown top 40 station in Kalamazoo, MI in the fall of '63. You're welcome for the post and I'm glad you now have heard this fine song.

I remember this song so thanks for bringing it back. The guy in the song later got drafted and when he got out he moved to Seattle where the girl's dad had a job and the guy and girl went out, got engaged, married and three children and a dog.
The End
