NUMBER-ONE ON THIS DAY IN 1960
According to the Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson,
Brenda Lee recorded this song early in 1960 but Decca Records, held
it from release for several months out of concern that a 15-year-old girl
was not mature enough to sing about unrequited love. When the song
was finally released, it became a smash hit.
