Charted at #9 on Billboard Hot 100 in August 1957. Original Billboard review: "A smart, upbeat song with cute lyrics is a solid framework for Bennett in a swinging mood. There's a nice, bright sound to this one, and in spite of good competition from Tennessee Ernie Ford, Bennett should cop plenty of loot." Tennessee Ernie Ford's version charted at #23 during the same month. In the UK, the song charted at #19 for the King Brothers.
Written by Nick Acquaviva and Ted Varnick.
B-side is "I Am" which charted at #93.

Prefer Tony Bennett singing it today, as I grow older i find the softer voiced singers more pleasing...
