In the US, the single spent four weeks at # 2 on the Billboard chart Hot 100 (behind "He's Very Good" by Chiffons and "I Will Follow Him" ââby Little Peggy March) and topped the Easy Listening Chart for four weeks, culminating in both in April 1963. Williams footage peaked at # 1 on the Money Box chart. Williams's vocals on the song's lyrics were tracked twice simultaneously, and too often in the chorus so that his listeners heard Andy sing in harmony with himself.
