Written by Johnny Cowell.
From the album, “Our Winter Love”
Such was the popularity of Mr. Cowell’s that as the title track of this LP it gave Felix Slatkin his only charting album. The disc reached #20 on the US album chart in the spring of 1963.
The original hit version was by Bill Pursell, whose version reached # 9 on the Hot-100 the same year. (Bill’s album, “Our Winter Love” reached #28).
Sadly, we lost Felix Slatkin in February 1963 at the way-too-young age of 47, before his “Our Winter Love” LP entered the album chart.
