  • This was the version that hit No.1 in 1953...interesting note.....this song was supposed to come out on Atlantic Records.. but Joe Morris took his Orchestra(of which Faye Adams was the vocalist, replacing Laurie Tate) to Herald Records, but Ahmet Ertegun reportedly did not like the song, which is surprising to me considering Ahmet's love of down-home black music.....

  • wow, thanks for the info...

  • This is for you daddy. John D. We love and miss you.

  • this was on the cosby show the other morning:)

  • @GarwinEugeneW according to wikipedia yes she is still around

  • So many have done this song. I must realy like the song because I love it, no matter who recorded it. Faye's recording is at the top.

  • I ADORE this song. What a rich voice and strong, beautiful melody!

  • When I first heard this song, I was watching the Cosby Show and my mother started to sing. She told me that this was real music and you and the person you love would either dance and stare at each other or have courtship. Nothing against my generation, but I wish that music like this would still happen

  • Is Faye Adams still living???

  • @oldschoolen1 Great info. Tells us more.Did she ever have an other big hits.?
